The Canada Small Business Financing Program is a Government of Canada sponsored lending program. It's designed, in partnership with financial institutions, to help new businesses get started, and established businesses grow.

Here are some of the key details:

• You can use your loan to finance up to 90% (max $1,000,000) of the cost of improving commercial property or equipment
• The term of your loan can be up to 10 years
• Choose a floating or fixed interest rate depending on your cash flow
• Flexible payment options are available to suit your business needs
• CSBF loans are available to you if your business has gross annual revenues of $10 million or less
• You'll need to pay a one-time Federal Government registration fee (which may be included in the amount borrowed)

For more information, feel free to contact one of our business banking advisors, or visit Industry Canada’s Canada Small Business Financing Program. 

A business line of credit allows you the flexibility you’ll need to keep things running like a well oiled machine.

• Starting at $15,000 and up
• Covers daily operating expenses or other expenses
• Can help to reduce interest costs

A business line of credit is attached to your business chequing account (of course, we’re fans of the Unlimited Chequing for Business® account) and lets you decide when and how much you need to borrow. Since we like Keeping it Simple® (and you probably do too), you only pay interest on the amount you actually use. 

A letter of credit is particularly useful if you own a business which imports or exports—it serves as a guarantee to the seller that it will be paid by the issuer of the letter of credit regardless of whether the buyer ultimately fails to pay.

How it works:

• Contact your Envision Financial Business Banking Advisor
• Make a deposit with us (in Canadian dollars)
• We then give you a letter verifying that we'll be responsible for your debt (up to an approved amount) should you default.
• Send this letter to your potential creditor, and and you’re good to go!
