    No, only the business owner can apply and sign for the grant.

    I have received funding from other programs, including Buy BC Partnership Program E-commerce Funding Stream or Canada United Small Business Relief Fund. Am I still eligible?

    Yes. However, you will be required to declare that the programs are not used to pay the same expense twice, i.e. the funding provided through the Online Shops Program will be used toward expenses not covered by the other programs your business has participated in.

    I have an e-commerce site. Am I still eligible for funding to enhance it?

    If the proposal is for improvements and/or something new it may be eligible. However, a replacement of existing features would not be.

    Costs can only be incurred from the date on which your application has been deemed eligible. You can claim your micro-grant within three (3) months of your application being deemed eligible or meeting with the E-Commerce Advisor, whichever date is later. You must provide both your invoice and proof of payment within these three (3) months

    No. All submitted expenses will require both proof of service completed and proof of payment.

    Will the taxes on the invoices be reimbursed?

    Micro-grants will be issued based on the cost of the expense(s) before taxes; tax charges will not be reimbursed.

    Can I submit receipts for expenses that I incurred while setting up my online shop prior to applying for this grant?
