I know that if you have a small business you are supposed to be able to apply each year for start up funds. These funds can be for show space, cloths, grooming etc. Also if you do start a small business that ODSP are helping with through employment supports, if you sell $800 worth of product, you can then get a grant of $1500 for your business.
However the $500 business start up fund is to the discretion of your worker and if you have a difficult one, they will reject the request as they did with me this year. I have had it in past years though.
