My name is Sharon Monahan, the owner of The Business Guide to Government Programs. After obtaining my business degree, I spent 14 years working with the Government of Canada. I decided to leave the government to start The Business Guide to Government Programs. My articles have appeared in Business in Vancouver's Money Guide and in newspapers from Newfoundland and Labrador to the Yukon.
During my time with the government, I assessed, approved and rejected thousands of government business grant applications. I know what makes a successful application and what can get your application denied.
Now that I am no longer with the government, I can share what I learned with you
