Editorial Policy & Standards

We operate with a strict code of ethics to ensure Canadian business owners receive accurate, unbiased, and actionable funding intelligence.

Core Principles

1. Independence

Our content is researched and written independently of government agencies. We are a private entity and not affiliated with the Government of Canada or any provincial body. Government agencies do not pay for placement or coverage.

2. Accuracy

We verify all program details against official government sources (Canada.ca, Ontario.ca, etc.) at the time of publication. However, grant programs change rapidly. We commit to auditing our core "Hub Pages" monthly.

Our Review Process

Research Pivot:
Every article begins with a review of official program guidelines, not third-party aggregators.
Expert Verification:
Content regarding complex eligibility (e.g. SR&ED, AgriInnovate) is reviewed by sector specialists.
Human-First:
We do not publish unedited AI-generated content. All tools are used under strict human supervision for outlining and partial drafting, followed by human rewrite.

Financial Disclaimer

We are an informational publisher, not a law firm or financial advisor.

The information provided on FSI Digital is for educational purposes only. Applying for government grants involves risk, and success is never guaranteed. Decisions to invest time or money in an application should be made with professional counsel.

We may receive a referral fee if you choose to work with one of our recommended consulting partners, but this never influences our editorial ranking of government programs.
