I think there are a lot of ways to get support from the government. There are two major things. One is the funding support, and another is the tax deduction.
I was in Japan for around 13 years and I know that Japanese entrepreneurs have a lot of these kinds of programs. They have a support institution for small and medium-sized enterprises. They get money from the government, from public funding, and also from some associations. The institution supports new technologies, eco-friendly companies, and new technology fields. For some programs, they just give you money, because our small and medium-sized companies have a lack of cashflow. For example, I know for some programs they might give you maybe 5 million Japanese yen, which is around $50,000 Canadian.
