Canadian Small Business Financing Program (CSBFP/CSBFL) $1M

The CSBFP is by far the most popular and favourite program for small businesses. It is mostly guaranteed by the government, thus banks carry less risk in underwriting these loans. The CSBFP has a total limit of $1 million and includes:  

 

Up to 90% of eligible purchases which are subject to the following program maximums:

 

  • Up to $500,000 for leasehold improvements and or equipment financing

  • Up to $150,000 for intangible assets and working capital costs within the $500,000 leasehold and equipment limit

  • Up to $1,000,000 for real property purchase or improvements

 

The CSBFP has a vigorous loan underwriting process. Our multi-disciplinary team with a background in accounting, corporate finance, business management, and tax can handle complex underwriting internally. Our principal broker’s accounting firm, William Yeung, Chartered Professional Accountant, can assist clients in ensuring both personal and business taxes are filed and up to date, and business plans and forecasts are efficiently written. We have close relationships with realtors, appraisers, contractors, equipment suppliers, and designers, that can turn your business into reality. Our integrated team gets CSBFP approved in the fastest timeframe possible.

​

One major advantage of CSBFP/CSBFL is the borrower only personally guarantees 25% of the total loan.

 

Businesses in almost every industry can take advantage of a CSBFP/CSBFL.
