As part of the CBDC Hants catchment, Windsor and its surrounding communities draw on a local economy built around fisheries and aquaculture, tourism, shipbuilding and marine services, craft and agri-food production, and forestry. Business Crafters 3.0 tailors its advisory approach to these regional realities rather than applying a one-size-fits-all framework.
Advisory funding for Windsor is administered locally through CBDC Hants, part of the Atlantic Canada CBDC network funded by ACOA.
No. The Consulting Advisory Services program is a fee-reimbursement grant, not a loan. Eligible businesses in Windsor are reimbursed up to 75% of approved consultant fees (capped at $5,000, HST excluded) — there is nothing to repay.
The program is funded by the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA) and administered locally through CBDC Hants. Business Crafters 3.0 is an independent consulting firm; we are not the funding administrator, and final approval rests with CBDC Hants.
This program is generally limited to existing, operating businesses. Startups are not eligible under the default CAS rules that apply across the Hants network.
No consulting firm can guarantee funding approval. We help Windsor businesses prepare a strong, complete application, but eligibility and final decisions are made by the program administrator.
Eligible engagements typically include business planning, financial advisory, marketing strategy, operational improvement, and digital transformation projects — the type of structured advisory work Business Crafters 3.0 provides.
