When Do Gov’t Guaranteed Small Business Loans Make Sense ? Probably Right About Now!
OVERVIEW – Information on small business government loans in Canada . A financing and funding option for your consideration
Small business government loans in Canada are a solid consideration for business owners/entrepreneurs. They typically best suit start ups, new firms, small firms, and growing firms in the SME (small to medium enterprise) sector. Why and, more importantly how does the government provide this financing, and are you eligible?
Although understood by some, but not all it's Canadian banks that actually are the delivery vehicle for small business loan financing. How then is the government involved, ask our clients? The answer - they guarantee a large part of the loan on your behalf, to the banks. A solid idea!
What we have observed over the years is that while the program is cast in stone as far as the govt is concerned the ' real world ' (that’s the one we toil in daily!) tells us that some practices and requirements certainly vary between our different chartered banks.
So how do you receive the actual funds and what can they be used for? In Canada the program covers equipment, leasehold improvements, and even real estate. Note therefore - this is not a cash flow loan or working capital facility. The loan cannot be used for inventory purchases or consolidation of existing debt. That's important to know.
The loan is always structured as a term loan with fixed monthly payments, and by the way loan prepayment privileges are very generous.
Now that we have established who you are in fact approaching for govt loan financing it's critical to understand the information that will satisfy the criteria of the loan, often called the ' SBL ' loans. You're well armed if you can deliver on the following:
Business plan
Cash Flow forecast
Information on owner business background and personal financial credit history
Information on what you wish to finance - typically in the form of quotes from equipment suppliers or contractors in the case of leaseholds
Larger businesses unfortunately cannot apply, but the current threshold is 10M and under in annual revenue. We're quite sure that covers thousands of firms looking for funding... Typical loan terms are between 3 and 7 years. (The program actually specifies an amortization term of ten years to qualified candidates)
Cost ? Rates are very competitive and can be fixed or floating based upon the needs of the borrower.
