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.

Breathe easy with interest-only payments
Take a break on us and pay only interest for up to the first 36 months of your loan.

Minimize your downpayment
Depending on your project, get financing of up to 100% of the project cost to cover expenses like moving costs and downpayments.

Repay, your way
Match payments to your cash flow cycle to avoid using money needed for your day-to-day activities and take up to 25 years to repay your loan.
Let’s build your success together
As Canada’s bank for entrepreneurs, we complement the role of other banks. We take on more risk, offer flexible financing and provide sound advice to help you build a strong, successful and resilient business.
