Tariffs hit your margins. There may be funding to help you respond.
If your business has been squeezed by trade pressures — higher input costs, disrupted supply chains, orders that don't pencil out any more — you may not have to absorb it alone.
The Regional Tariff Response Initiative (RTRI), delivered by FedDev Ontario, supports tariff-impacted businesses in southern Ontario with non-repayable funding for things like:
⚙️ Investing in new equipment
📈 Improving productivity
🔗 Diversifying supply chains
👥 Strengthening business operations
Two streams are available: liquidity support for businesses under immediate financial pressure, and project funding for pivots that improve competitiveness.
A few things worth knowing before you apply:
🔹 There's a minimum annual revenue threshold — this program is aimed at established businesses
🔹 You'll need to show a genuine tariff impact, not just general cost pressure
🔹 Applications need proper financial documentation, which is where most businesses get stuck
That last part is what we do. We'll tell you honestly whether you're likely to qualify before you invest time in an application — and if you are, we'll help you put the financials together properly.
Don't leave potential funding opportunities on the table.
