Grants. Resources. Capital.
GRC started as Global Restaurant Consulting Group. Today we're a funding advisory firm helping restaurants and growing businesses across Canada get the capital they need.
Built for business owners who'd rather be running their business.
Restaurant owners taught us what small business owners everywhere already know: finding funding is a second full-time job. The programs exist and the lenders are out there, but the paperwork, rules and back-and-forth eat up the time you don't have.
So we made it our job. GRC Group brings grants and financing under one roof, with one team that knows the agencies, knows the lenders, and knows how to present your business so people say yes.
What GRC stands for
Grants. Federal and provincial funding you don't pay back.
Resources. Business plans, projections and the expertise to back them up.
Capital. Loans from BDC, RBC, the major banks and private lenders.
