What to check before choosing startup funding

Cost of funding

Compare interest, origination charges, repayment deductions and the total cost.

Cash flow fit

Check repayment timing against your business income and seasonal changes.

Personal exposure

Ask about collateral, personal guarantees and what happens if payments are missed.

Do not treat a factor rate as an annual interest rate. Ask the provider to explain the repayment calculation.

Before you visit a provider

Confirm current fees, rates and eligibility directly with the provider. Product terms can change over time. A listed product is not a recommendation or a promise of approval.

Availability must be confirmed for your province or territory. If product-specific location or eligibility information is missing, it is not confirmed.
