Capital Solutions for Every Business Need
Through our trusted financing partner, businesses can access a broad range of commercial financing structures across Canada and the United States.
Working Capital & Growth Financing
Growing businesses can require substantial working capital to support increasing sales, inventory, payroll, supplier payments and operating requirements.
- Business expansion
- Inventory
- Payroll
- Supplier payments
- Operating expenses
- New contracts
- Seasonal requirements
- Growth initiatives
- Market expansion
Potential structures may include working capital facilities, revolving credit, commercial loans, receivables financing and asset-based lending.
Government Contract & Mobilization Financing
Winning a significant government contract can create a substantial capital requirement before payment is received.
- Payroll
- Materials
- Equipment
- Subcontractors
- Mobilization
- Transportation
- Project expenses
Government contract financing may help bridge the timing gap between contract execution and payment. Particularly relevant to government contractors, construction companies, manufacturers, engineering firms, technology companies, logistics providers and specialized service businesses.
Invoice Factoring & Accounts Receivable Financing
Strong sales do not always translate into immediate cash flow. Businesses with substantial receivables may explore financing solutions designed to unlock working capital tied up in outstanding invoices.
- Improved liquidity
- Payroll support
- Supplier payments
- Inventory purchases
- Ability to accept additional orders
- Contract execution
- Reduced pressure from extended payment terms
The availability and structure of receivables financing depend on the business, its customers, receivables and applicable underwriting requirements.
Asset-Based Lending
Asset-Based Lending (ABL) can provide financing supported by qualifying business assets — including accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and other qualifying assets.
- Working capital
- Expansion
- Refinancing
- Restructuring
- Acquisition financing
ABL can be particularly relevant to established businesses with substantial assets or receivables requiring additional liquidity.
Equipment Financing & Leasing
Businesses often require significant capital to acquire productive assets. Equipment financing and leasing can help companies acquire assets while preserving working capital.
- Construction equipment
- Manufacturing machinery
- Commercial vehicles
- Technology & servers
- Data-centre infrastructure
- Medical equipment
- Automation systems
- Transportation equipment
- Specialized machinery
Business Loans & Lines of Credit
Commercial loans and lines of credit can provide capital for defined projects or ongoing business requirements.
- Expansion
- Inventory
- Working capital
- Equipment
- Contract fulfillment
- Business purchases
- Refinancing
- General corporate purposes
The appropriate structure depends on the company's financial position, cash flow, assets, purpose of financing and applicable lender requirements.
Debt Refinancing & Restructuring
As businesses grow, their existing debt structure may no longer be optimal. Businesses may explore refinancing or restructuring when dealing with high-cost debt, maturing obligations or cash-flow pressure.
- Multiple financing facilities
- High-cost debt
- Short repayment periods
- Maturing obligations
- Cash-flow pressure
- Changing business circumstances
- Expansion requirements
The objective may be to improve liquidity, better align repayment obligations with cash flow or create greater financial flexibility.
Business Acquisition & LBO Financing
Acquiring an established business can require substantial capital and careful financial structuring.
- Business acquisitions
- Strategic acquisitions
- Management buyouts
- Leveraged buyouts
- Ownership transitions
- Business succession transactions
Potential structures may include senior debt, private credit, asset-based lending, mezzanine financing, seller financing, equity and other structured capital.
Growth & Expansion Capital
Businesses may require capital when pursuing significant growth opportunities — new facilities, increased production, new markets, U.S. expansion or acquisitions.
- New facilities
- Increased production
- New equipment
- Inventory expansion
- New markets
- Additional employees
- Larger contracts
- U.S. expansion
- Canadian expansion
- Acquisitions
The appropriate financing structure should be aligned with the purpose, timing and expected cash flows of the investment.
