Barrie CDAP

Barrie CDAP Assistance helps Canadian businesses in Barrie explore funding and guidance for adopting digital technology through the Canada Digital Adoption Program (CDAP), a government initiative associated with Business Development Bank of Canada and Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada. The service promotes support for businesses seeking to improve their online presence, operations, customer experiences, and profitability through digital transformation.

Its website offers information and assistance with CDAP applications, including guidance on eligibility and required supporting documents. It highlights a grant of up to $15,000 to cover as much as 90% of an advisor consultation fee, an interest-free loan ranging from $25,000 to $100,000 for implementing a digital adoption plan, and a wage subsidy of up to $7,300 for eligible interns. The site describes potential eligibility criteria including Canadian ownership, for-profit status, 1 to 499 full-time equivalent employees, and annual revenue between $500,000 and $100 million in at least one of the previous three tax years. Businesses can apply online or contact the Barrie team by phone for assistance.
