This $2,400 grant from the Canadian government is designed to help local businesses go digital, whether by adding e-commerce functionality to an existing website or creating a transactional site from scratch.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since its inception, the PCAN program has evolved on several fronts: from the application process to eligibility criteria.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Initially, the program authorized funding for search engine optimization (SEO) activities, but only as a complement to a broader digital project. This rule posed a problem for companies that already had a solid online presence.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The good news is that this restriction was lifted in October! You can now devote your entire $2,400 grant to SEO initiatives.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you need to apply<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To submit your application, here are the prerequisites:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Your business should be B2C &#8211; selling directly to consumers, not exclusively to other companies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You must have tax numbers (GST and QST).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your sales must exceed $30,000, or you must employ at least one person (other than yourself).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You must have a Quebec Enterprise Number (NEQ).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do I apply?<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The procedure is simple:<\/p>\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Go to the <a href=\"https:\/\/pcan-quebec.ca\/fr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PCAN<\/a> website and follow the instructions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once you have submitted your request, a digital advisor will contact you by e-mail.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An appointment link will be sent to you in this e-mail.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This appointment will serve either as an introduction to the program or to finalize your request.
