Accessing Financing

We will discuss lending for new and established businesses. We will break down the requirements and documentation for each loan type.

• Start-up/expansion lending programs like Canadian Small Business Financing Plan
• Lending for businesses over 1 year and under 2 like the BDC Accelerator Program
• Standard lending for Commercial Owner-Occupied Lending (Meridian COOL Program) with options which offer up to 100% Loan-to-Value to buy a commercial property
