KWB Accountants: Your CDAP Digital Adoption Partner
Updated February 20, 2024: Applications for the Boost Your Business Technology grant are currently closed. Due to a high volume of interest, the Canada Digital Adoption Program (CDAP) Boost Your Business Technology grant is fully subscribed and is no longer accepting new applications. If you have a valid CDAP grant agreement, you can continue to work with us and submit your claim for reimbursement once your Digital Plan is complete. Be sure to check when your agreement expires and submit your claim before that date to remain eligible for the grant. The CDAP Grow Your Business Online grant of $2400 remains open for applications.
Understanding the Canada Digital Adoption Program (CDAP)
The Canadian Digital Adoption Program (CDAP) offers subsidies to small and medium sized businesses and entrepreneurs to develop a digital roadmap and transformation strategy.
CDAP will provide eligible companies with Boost Your Business Technology grant payments to offset the cost of support from an approved digital advisor, like KWB Accountants & Advisors. The grant is 90% of the cost of working with a digital advisor, up to $15,000. Note that a $2400 Grow Your Business Online micro-grant is also available to assist you in working with an e-commerce advisor.
