What lenders look for
Ability to repay
Cash flow, historical or forecast, that comfortably covers the payments.
Financial statements
Current, accurate statements. Late or messy books are the most common reason files stall.
Equity in the project
Your own contribution, which grants and equity programs can help provide.
Security and management
Assets to secure the loan and a team that can deliver the plan.
Pairing a loan with other capital
Most well-structured Indigenous business financings combine sources: grants or equity contributions first, then developmental, Crown or bank debt for the balance. See how our debt advisory and placement service runs a lender process.
