Small business owners in Sarnia and across Lambton County, Ontario, can now apply for funding to help improve their operations and grow their companies. The Sarnia-Lambton Economic Partnership is offering 10 individual grants of up to $4,000 each for eligible local businesses.

The funding is designed to help entrepreneurs with long-term growth and day-to-day business improvements. Interested business owners have until April 10, 2026, to submit their applications for the competitive program.

This initiative is part of a long-standing effort to encourage entrepreneurship in the region by providing financial help and professional guidance. The program is often run in partnership with the Ontario Ministry of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade to foster local business development.

Along with the financial support, the program typically provides coaching and mentorship through the Small Business Enterprise Centre of Sarnia-Lambton. Matthew Slotwinski, CEO of the Sarnia-Lambton Economic Partnership, oversees these strategic efforts aimed at strengthening the local economy.
