What financing options are available to a small business? PDF Print Email

 

This is a question we are asked every day.

 

Not many business owners have the ability to self-finance. Obtaining enough money to start or expand is probably one of the most significant challenges a business owner will face. So where does money come from? There are a number of sources, let’s consider the main ones:

 

Grants

Chartered Banks, Credit Unions, Caisse Populaire

Ontario Community Futures Development Corporations

Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC)

Investors
