Getting a business loan in Calgary can be a long and tedious process. Although banks and credit unions in the area offer business loans, these traditional institutions tend to move slowly, and have strict requirements for business loan approval. So unless you meet very specific criteria and have a lot of time to spare, they can’t do much for your business.

Fortunately, because the online financial market has grown so significantly in the past few years, there are a number of online business loans now available to Calgary businesses, from reputable alternative lenders. At Smarter Loans, you can discover all such options in one place. These lenders offer flexible terms and competitive interest rates, making them a good business loan option even for those who might be approved to borrow from their local bank. No matter what you need money for – to purchase equipment, to expand, for real estate,

At Smarter Loans, we have researched the marketplace to find you the best business loan providers in Calgary, and you can see all their offerings and requirements before applying online. Just take a look at the table below to find the right loan and lender for you. It’s then a matter of a few simple clicks to fill in an online application form to get your business the help it needs.

From beginning to end, my experience was great! Very professional and personable agents. They only asked questions that were needed for the loan and payments were extremely reasonable. Would recommend to anyone who needs emergency funds.
