Why Optimize Your Management Now?

When everything moves quickly, the quality of your management makes the difference. Today, improving your operations tracking is no longer a bonus: it's a requirement to stay in the race. Here's why it's more than ever a priority:

• More complex construction sites: BIM, materials traceability, environmental requirements... today's projects require a much more structured organization.
• Pressure on margins: To win a contract, you often must accept very tight margins. Every lost hour or misused resource costs you dearly. 
• Constantly evolving regulations: Adapting to new requirements takes time. Good management facilitates this transition. 
• Critical labor shortage: When recruiting becomes difficult, you need to do more with less. A management solution helps you better plan, distribute, and track work — without wearing out your teams.

What Types of Aid Exist?

There are numerous grants and support programs in Canada. Here are some concrete examples — but depending on your sector, location, and objectives, there are certainly other options available.

1. Grants for Management System Implementation

Implementing a tool like Civalgo allows you to centralize information, make data more reliable, and save time daily. But it's also an investment. Some programs can partially finance it.

• Business Growth and Productivity Program: This program supports SMEs looking to integrate technologies to gain efficiency. A personalized assessment can be conducted at one of the 11 regional offices of Canada Economic Development. 
• Momentum Fund: This private fund finances up to 25% of a project, with a cap of $10,000. It particularly supports technology implementation, innovation, or cybersecurity initiatives.

2. Tax Credits

Tax credits directly reduce your tax amount, freeing up budget for your projects. Notable among these is the CRIC (Credit for R&D, Innovation, and Pre-commercialization). This credit aims to simplify access to funding for technology projects. It can cover development or testing phases of a new tool.

3. Funding for Training

Having the right tools is good. Knowing how to use them is better! Aid exists to train your teams and ensure adoption of new processes, for example:

• Canada-Ontario Job Grant (COJG): For Ontario businesses: up to $10,000 per trained employee, with coverage that can reach 100% for small businesses. 
• CCQ Support (Quebec): The CCQ offers customized paths through its Business Training Service. Accessible from 1,500 declared work hours (or 4,000 for more established companies). 

How to Find the Right Grant?

Even though aid is plentiful, navigating it isn't simple. Eligibility criteria, required documents, administrative deadlines, regional conditions... searching for a grant is almost a profession in itself.
