You’re in good hands
Choosing a loan is about more than just interest rates. The fine print is just as important—and our terms and conditions are designed to give you more flexibility and financial control over your business.
We’re there in good times and in bad
We’ve supported our clients through market downturns and other events beyond their control.
We're not one size fits all
We take the time to review your business needs and offer solutions that leave you enough breathing room to realize your goals.
We’re committed to you long-term
We won't change our terms and conditions or demand early repayment without a valid reason.
Grow your own way
Keep your business in your hands longer
There’s no need to sell your shares as collateral, so you can retain control of your business as you grow.
We’re founder-friendly
We prioritize your needs and goals with early intervention, tailored support and more flexible financing options. We look beyond ratios and tangible assets and at the potential of your business. Just ask the more than 4,000 Canadian tech entrepreneurs we actively support.
Terms tailored to your needs
Get breathing room to ramp up with the possibility of interest-only payments at the start of the loan, a customized repayment schedule according to your cash flow and the option to pay off your principal at the end of the term.
We offer support at every stage of growth
We have specialized options for you, whether you’re starting, scaling or growing. We also have a network of experts ready to guide you—wherever you are across Canada.
