Canadian Pizza Podcast: Accessing government financial support during the pandemic

These are tough times for small businesses. Here we look at the most recent COVID-19 financial compensation measures put in place by the Canadian government to bring relief to those adversely affected by the shutdowns. Owners and operators of pizzerias, restaurants or bakery/cafés and other businesses, tune in for examples of how the relief funding would work for a small shop and details on how to access it.

Helping us navigate the government programs is Bonny Koabel, who is a Chartered Professional Accountant, a Certified General Accountant and president of AKR Consulting Canada in Mississauga, Ont., which has specialized in government grants, subsidies, tax credits, refunds and rebates since 2003.

If you need more in-depth information and advice, you can reach Bonny at AKR Consulting Canada at akrconsulting.com.
