* Rates are estimates based on typical lender criteria. Canada's 35% APR Criminal Code cap (in force January 1, 2025) applies to consumer credit agreements; loans to incorporated businesses are commercial agreements and may exceed this rate. Your actual rate may vary. These are not offers.
Strategies for Better Business Loan Terms
Established businesses with strong revenue should prioritize lowest-rate strategies to save on interest costs.
Startups may have better luck with alternative lenders who weigh revenue and business plan over credit history.
If you need capital quickly, merchant cash advance or revenue-based financing can fund within 48 hours.
