Funding Aligner - Your Funded Activity, Delivered, Reimbursed

The problem it solves

Export financing is not hard to find - it is hard to use. Exporters lose grant money three ways: they pick the wrong program, they run an activity that does not match the program's objectives, or they fail to document the claim. We fix the alignment, not the funding.

What the service is

A grant-backed delivery service: we map your product, market, and stage against the programs that fund your activity (CanExport, AgriMarketing, EDC, RTRI, provincial), build a program-aligned business case and application, run the funded activity with evidence, and document the claim to each program's spec. We deliver the job - eligibility confirmed, application filed, evidence captured, claim documented.

How it works

Map your funding

eligibility confirmed before you spend.

Build the business case

application + eligible-activity plan aligned to the program.

Execute the funded activity

the show, mission, or market-development job is performed with evidence.

File and report

expenses and evidence formatted to the program's claim spec.

You keep the relationships and the funding decision.

Benefits

The application and claim are clean because they match program objectives.

Program deadlines and rules are tracked for you.

The funded activity is delivered and documented.

Grant-eligible

the application and documentation costs are eligible under most programs.

Who it is for

A beverage exporter running a CanExport market-development project. An agri-food company doing a 70% AgriMarketing project into the Gulf. A tariff-hit manufacturer using EDC/RTRI money to diversify.

What is included

Program matching + eligibility check

Business case + application pack

Activity execution (via the relevant service)

Evidence capture + expense tracking

Claim documentation + reporting

The grant angle

Programs reimburse eligible activities (travel, shows, research, promotion) at 50-70%; the business case, project management, and reporting are themselves eligible project costs under most programs. We confirm which activities and costs are eligible in the readiness call.

How other companies are doing this

The pattern is proven by the programs: CanExport SMEs has supported 1,500+ Canadian businesses; EDC's Trade Impact Program has financed thousands of diversification transactions; RTRI is a $3.45B envelope for tariff-impacted SMEs. Companies that align and document get funded.

Questions

Which programs can you use? Federal (CanExport, AgriMarketing, EDC, RTRI, RDA) and provincial.

Do I qualify? We confirm eligibility in the readiness call.

Is the business case itself funded? Project management and documentation are eligible costs under most programs.

What we do NOT promise: approval or reimbursement - the program decides that. We promise a program-aligned application, the funded activity performed, and a clean, documented claim.

Final call

The government has allocated the money; the gap is alignment. We close that gap - the right program, the right activity, the right documentation. We are in Canada, and we will come to you.

Sector focus: alcohol & beverage exporters

The US import ban on Canadian alcohol took effect September 29, 2026. Canada exported $1.36B in alcohol in 2023 - 90% to the US, about two-thirds of it spirits. Rye, whisky, wine, beer, vermouth, vodka, tequila and rum now need non-US buyers fast.

This service works the same way for every sector: alcohol and beverage, dairy and agri-food, seafood, manufacturing, and technology. Pick a market in the Global Markets hub, check the trade agreement, and let us do the work - grant-eligible clients can claim up to 50% of their eligible costs back via CanExport and EDC.
