How are Alberta business loans priced?

Two ways. Term loans and lines are priced as an APR, from 7%. Advances repaid from your sales are priced as a factor from 1.1 to 1.5, a multiplier on the amount. Paying a term loan early saves interest, while paying an advance early saves nothing.

Does Alberta's 32% rule cover business advances?

No. Alberta's high-cost credit regulation sits under the Consumer Protection Act and covers credit at 32% or more. A business advance is a purchase of future sales, not a consumer loan.

Which thirteen lenders lend to Alberta businesses?

Eleven offer term loans or lines, and two offer sales-based advances. Together they lend from $2,500 to $50 million. Twelve consider owners with poor credit, and one wants a fair score. Our application reaches all thirteen at once.

What should an Alberta business have ready?

Revenue and time in business. Lenders want $5,000 to $20,000 a month in revenue and three to twelve months in business, depending on the lender. Have recent business bank statements ready, and say what the money is for.

Every business lender we work with is on the business loans in Canada page.
