Every small business has unique financial needs, and choosing the right loan can make all the difference in achieving your goals.

Term Loans

Term Loans

Fixed borrowing amounts with predictable repayment schedules. Ideal for long-term investments such as renovations, property purchases, or business expansion projects where stability and planning are key.

Working Capital Loans

Working Capital Loans

Short-term financing to cover operating expenses like payroll, inventory, or utilities. These loans are particularly useful for managing seasonal cash flow fluctuations or bridging temporary revenue gaps.

Equipment Financing

Equipment Financing

Loans or leases to purchase essential machinery, vehicles, or technology. This option helps businesses spread out costs while keeping equipment updated and maintaining working capital for other needs.

Business Lines of Credit

Business Lines of Credit

Flexible funding that can be drawn as needed, with interest charged only on the amount used. Perfect for covering unexpected expenses or taking advantage of time-sensitive growth opportunities.

Merchant Cash Advances

Merchant Cash Advances

Financing based on future sales revenue, repaid as a percentage of daily or weekly sales. A good choice for businesses with strong transaction volumes but limited collateral or weaker credit profiles.

What are the features?

Lender risk-sharing — Under the CSBFP, the government shares up to 85% of eligible lender losses. This does not guarantee approval or remove the borrower’s repayment obligations. Financial institutions decide whether to approve a loan.

Up to $500,000 in financing available for equipment purchases, vehicles, or leasehold improvements.

Retroactive financing – eligible purchases made within 12 months prior to loan approval may qualify.

Flexible rate options – choose from fixed or variable interest rates. Variable rates range from Prime to Prime + 3%.

Extended amortization – repayment terms of up to 15 years.

Flexible repayment schedules – including up to 6 months of interest-only payments in the first year.
