How do government business loans work? If we only had the proverbial nickel every time a 7 Park Avenue Financial client asked us those questions. You guessed it... We'd be rich!
Due to the fact that both the government and the banks are involved in the government business loan process business owners and entrepreneurs can be forgiven for not understanding how this business financing scheme (hint - it's not a 'scheme!') works.
Sometimes the frustration with timing and the mechanics of the loan relate simply to the fact that business folks don't understand how the program works - and it's not complicated.
So let's be clear - the Canadian government small business loan (some folks call it the 'SBL') is a program that has been in existence for many years and is administered by Industry Canada. It's a great way to acquire long term and often start-up capital for a business.

Equipment
Leaseholds
Real Estate

Key Point - Many franchises are financed under the program! Government loans can be used to buy a business - Franchise or otherwise.
The program requires a minimum, 10 percent owner investment into the loan amount. The government guarantees the rest to the bank,
