Stop searching—and stop relying on memory alone
SBN helps narrow the flow of information so you can focus on opportunities that appear to fit your business while also receiving reminders about important filings, registrations and recurring deadlines connected to your profile.
Your profile gives SBN the context
After joining, you complete a detailed onboarding profile. The information may include your province, municipality, industry, business structure, revenue range, employees, financing needs, future plans, filing frequencies and important business dates.
SBN uses this information to help determine whether a new grant, tax credit, program or business opportunity may be worth bringing to your attention and which filing or compliance reminders may be relevant to your business.
You remain responsible for reviewing the program details and confirming eligibility with the responsible organization.
