Canada Small Business
Financing Program
How do I apply for the loan?
Financial institutions deliver the program. Industry Canada does not participate in making the decision to accept or refuse your loan application.
Discuss your business needs with a financial officer at any bank, caisse populaire, or credit union in Canada. The financial officer will review your business proposal and make a decision on your loan application. Once the decision is made to offer financing under the program, the financial institution will register the loan with Industry Canada.
