Tariff Response Funding
New federal funding for tariff-hit businesses. We handle the application.
You run the business. We do the paperwork.
Tariffs are eating into what you make. There is new federal funding for the project that fixes that.
Get up to a $1,000,000 grant, or an interest-free loan that can reach $10,000,000. The grant covers half your project and is never paid back.
The program requires a full application, and it has to be complete. That is the paperwork we do every day.
Five quick taps tell you if you fit. Then we call you.

Who we work with
The Funding
Two kinds of funding. You pick one.
The program announces who it funds, and how much. Twenty-one businesses were announced in July and August 2026 in one region alone.
Those are real, announced projects. They are not an approval rate, an average, or a prediction for your file.
The government has said the grant limit goes up from $1 million to $3 million from September 8, 2026: up to $1 million for the project, plus up to $2 million to ease cash flow. Not every region has published its details yet.
Applications are open today, across Canada. Each region runs its own intake, and the fine print differs a little from one to the next. We confirm yours on the call.
What We Do For You
We build the application. You keep running the business.
The program requires a complete application: every attachment in, every number backed up.
So we build all of it with you, and we arrange the financing to go with it.
More Than Paperwork
What you get from PFG that a form-filler cannot give you.
A grant writer hands you a document. We build the whole file and the financing behind it: the look at your numbers, the loan for your share, the accounting that backs it all, and the work after you are approved.
Advice, financing, and accounting, from one team, on one file.
A straight read on your numbers first
Before the program or any bank sees your file, we read it the way they will.
You hear what can be funded now and what needs fixing first. No hard credit check to get that answer.
The loan for your share, placed with the right bank
Your share has to be real funds on the day you apply.
We take your file to lenders who do government-backed loans, term loans, BDC, and credit lines every week. Banks pay us nothing, so our advice only works for you.
Your accountant under the same roof
The numbers in the application have to match the numbers in your books.
PMG Accounting handles the statements, bookkeeping, payroll, tax, and monthly reports, so everything comes from one set of books.
Help after the funding is approved
The program reimburses you for costs after you spend them, not up front.
It reimburses you against a complete claim, so the claim has to be right. We prepare the claims and the reports, and the next loan when you outgrow this one.
How It Works
From five taps to a finished application.
Before You Call
Four things owners ask first.
Why not just do it with my own accountant?
You can. The form is public. Applications get stuck on three things the form never warns you about: a forecast that does not match the budget, a tariff story with no proof behind it, and a share of the funding still marked requested instead of confirmed.
We have written 1,200+ business plans and arranged over $3 billion in financing since 2010. This is the same paperwork, just for a different reader.
What if I do not fit?
The five taps tell you in under a minute, and name the rule you miss.
Missing does not end the conversation. Tariffs are a cash problem first, and we look at that the same way we look at every file: what can be funded now, and what to fix first.
What does this cost me?
You pay PFG for the work. The program does not cover our fee.
You hear the price on the call, before anything starts. No bank and no government agency pays us, so our advice only works for you.
How long does it take, and what are my chances?
The program does not promise a decision date. The one region that publishes a target says 90 business days.
Nobody can promise you an approval, and we will not. What we control is a complete file, which is the one thing the program requires of everyone. Our own record, 95 of our last 100 CSBFL loan applications approved, is history on another program, not a prediction for this one.
Program facts as published by the regional agencies, checked September 2026. Amounts and rules vary by region; we confirm yours on the call.
Five taps. Then we call you.
Answer the program's five questions and leave your details. On the call we tell you which stream fits, what the program will want to see first, and where your share of the funding comes from.
One thing the program does not cover: our fee. You pay PFG for the work.
