About Me
I am a Business Funding Expert. I consult businesses on a wide range of Canadian government funding and help them get non-repayable grants and no-interest loans for their growth and expansion.
I have a 10-year consulting experience. I hold a Master in International Business degree from Grenoble Graduate School of Business (France) and a Bachelor in Management degree from the International University of Business and New Technologies (Russia). I hold the CITP (Certified International Trade Professional) designation.
My Services
I myself experienced the positive impact of government funding on my other business – an international trade consulting company. Since then, I committed to positively transforming other businesses by unlocking their access to government funding.
I help get funding for businesses in various industries: manufacturing, agriculture, technology, health, automotive, defense, and others. Apart from fund management and grant administration, my expertise also includes capital injection cases, cost reduction & recovery, business consulting, business plan preparation, and much more – everything to help your business grow.
My Successes
Together with my team, we've submitted over 12,000 applications with $70,000,000+ secured in grants for our customers.
One of my recent success cases:
A medium-sized machine shop (30 employees) lost its largest customer (multinational giant, representing 50% of its business) to the competition. The problem was a combination of lack of price competitiveness and longer delivery timelines. To meet clients’ price and delivery expectations, the company needed faster and more-efficient equipment. It decided to purchase a DMG GMX-400 Linear Machining Center to do the job. Hoping to take advantage of government grant funding, the company called in me and my team to help.
Together, we identified an available government funding opportunity that paid one-third of the cost of the equipment. Taking up just a short amount of company executives’ time to understand the firm, we completed the grant application in just a few weeks’ time. The grant was approved.
With the financial assistance provided by the grant, the client purchased the Linear Machining Center. The equipment saves the company 30% on its cost of goods manufactured compared with traditional machining equipment, helping them to reduce the cost to customers. Six months after the equipment became operational, the company won back Siemens’ business.
