Government Guaranteed Small Business Loans . What’s Better Than An Inside Scoop On The SBL Program

Trouble Connecting The Dots With The GOV’T SBL / BIL Loan?


OVERVIEW – Information on government guaranteed loans for small business in Canada . Accessing approval for this valuable finance program helps the business owner financing equipment and leaseholds assets via finance otherwise not available



Government guaranteed loans in Canada. What Canadian small business owner wouldn't want any ' inside scoop ' on anything to do with the government and business.

The reality is that the Canadian business owner and financial manager has no real direct involvement of any sort with the govt on this program that he or she still seems to have a lot of problem in .. Connecting the dots... for financing success. We're quite sure we've got clarity, so let’s dig in.

For a certain type of borrowing in the Canadian start up and SME sector in Canada there is no better option than what ' main street ' calls the 'SBL' loan program . While choosing the right bank / banker to move your loan through is a challenge its still a great vehicle to put equipment and leasehold assets that you need on the right footing - inside your business!

While the perception might be that it’s difficult to achieve this financing you'll be surprised to hear that you can navigate the program with relative simplicity - if you have the right documentation and know what constitutes approval criteria. That's our job we suppose!

Commercial banking in Canada many times (in spite of those TV commercials!) does not lend itself to start up or leasehold financing. That’s where the small business government guaranteed loan comes in - it works specifically only in those areas.

The quick recap is as follows - maximum loan size = $ 350,000.0O - items financed are only equipment, leaseholds, and real estate. We'll quickly add that not many real estate deals are done under the program, because in many ways it doesn’t make sense -at the same time we'll add that computers and application software are in that ' equipment ' category that we referenced. So a great way to acquire some technology.

We are often amazed about why there is confusion under the program because the reality is that the ' basic drill ' has not changed. We think it’s because the general commercial borrowing environment has changed a lot more than the program - i.e. tougher!

So how can the business owner improve the odds of getting approved? A good way to provide that answer is to advise why you will be declined. You may well be declined for the following reasons:

Poor personal credit history

No business plan or cash flow

Unable to produce a premises lease that matches the term of your loan request

Inability to match the permanent 10% down payment/equity required by the program

We advise clients that a proper loan proposal meeting the basic criteria has a very strong chance of approval - and with rates, terms, structures, limited personal guarantees etc all being excellent every business owner should at least consider the program.
As we said, no government involvement at all (they simply guarantee your loan to the bank) and connecting the loan application dots is a lot simpler than you thought!
