What stays local, grows local. #buylocalcowichan

Have you been thinking about developing an online platform for your business, but been wary of the commitments in time and cost? The provincial government has announced the Launch Online grant program with funding for small businesses to work with local service providers to get online. The grant can cover up to 75 percent of the costs (up to $7,500) of going online, including some advertising. This is a great opportunity to access new markets. For more information on eligibility and the application process, visit: https://launchonline.ca/
