The Power Of The Government of the Canada small Business Financing Loan - SBL 101 !

Power - The dictionary defines it as the possession of control. You want it? We're going to give it to you as it relates to the government of Canada Small Business Financing Loan... we affectionately call it the ' SBL ‘! (That’s small business loan by the way ...)



So clients are always asking whats so great about the program? We'll give you thing things, actually four! Rate, term, structure, and by the way, a very limited (in our opinion) personal guarantee.



Industry Canada is the government agency that sponsors this great loan program. We're sure the department is staffed by some great people - it must be, because it’s a great program, right? However, you are never going to really meet these folks, as the government has chartered the Canadian banks and other miscellaneous financial institutions to run the SBL loan program on their behalf. So essentially its small business financing at the street level, which is right where you want it.



So how does the program work...? In fact an even better question might be why this type of financing should appeal to your firm.



The bottom line is that your firm is a ' for profit ' (we’re all for profit!) company and are either a start up or revenues under 5 Million dollars then you are a prime candidate for a government SBL small business financing loan.



So why banks don’t just makes these types of loans without all the government backing. Simply because (and we think you might have experienced this already) you might not qualify for what us folks in the real world of Canadian business financing call ' traditional financing '. Traditional of course refers to borrowers who are viewed as strong applicants because of high net worth, ultra solid personal credit history, strong balance sheets, and outside collateral. Who wouldn’t have problems coming up with those these days?!



The Canada Small Business Financing program in fact is very specifically designed to appeal to borrowers such as yourself who perhaps might not qualify for the traditional financing and criteria we've just spoken about.



I don’t think we have ever had a client meeting where the question ' how much can we get?" comes up. Our answer, plenty! If in fact you think 350,000.00 $ is plenty - we do. That’s the current cap on the program - but we'll share a tiny secret here, if you were to utilize the program for a real estate purchase for your business the program caps out at 500,000.00$ . Wow!



Sounds great so far? We have always thought so, so bringing new converts on board is a pleasure. Seek out a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business financing advisor. You'll then focus on how the program works, if you qualify, next steps, structure, and finally, your approval!

Research & Development Tax Credits - If anyone is involved in any sort of R&D I have a contact that can submit an application for you to the Government of Canada to get back upto 80% of expenses you may have incurred. Best of all - all this at no cost to you. She's worked with companies of all sizes and part of her services, which are included is how to structure yourself in the future to continue to receive these Government Tax Credits. She can even go back to the last three years in your books to get Tax Credits refunds as well. Email me and I can share her details with you.
re: restaurant start-up - I'm not sure about government grants for restaurants, but my recommendation would be to approach a lender that offers loans under the Canadian Small Business Financing Loan program where the government will guarantee 85% of the loan. You can borrow up to $250,000 to finance equipment and renovations under this program. Restaurants are very risky business, however some of the Chartered Banks will look at restaurants if there is enough of an initial equity investment and you have a solid business plan (experienced management team, good concept and strategic location).
Re: I need a mailing address for office space in Toronto - Jamie, I hope someone replies that has an idea or even experience with this question. I am in need of the same concept. I need a mailing address in Canada and then register our business with the Canadian Government to begin selling products in Canada utilizing Canadian monies. Someone must have already accomplished this goal - share your success with others. Dennis
Re: BDC - [quote="Jones":255lkmrn][quote="IWDCanada":255lkmrn]I think if you try to do business in the Maritimes the Business Development Bank of Canada might be able to provide grants.[/quote:255lkmrn] On that note, does anybody have any experiences with the Business Development Bank of Canada that they would like to share? I have been considering approaching them for a business loan.[/quote:255lkmrn] I'll be working with the BDC later this month on a few projects. From what i've been told they are really great when it comes to small business. Their loans have a little higher interest but their payment terms are a lot easier to swallow. I can give you a contact if you need.
Money I made while in School - While in university I did have a Student Loan (still paying that bugger off) and had a part-time job as a Call Center agent (inbound). *Canada* I also designed websites (outsourced all the work). I just worked on getting new customers, managed the projects to completion and helped create Marketing Plans for my clients (Online and Offline). *Canada* When I was studying the in the States I also made some money as a Part-time Flight instructor. *USA*
