What this means for funding

Revenue can be project-driven and lumpy. A funder reads how the average daily balance behaves between large payments, not just total deposits.

An example in Calgary

Illustrative arithmetic

A Calgary oilfield-services shop deposits $140,000 a month and wants $75,000 for a work truck. At a 1.23 factor the payback is $92,250, repaid weekly over about 24 weeks.

Every figure on this page is illustrative arithmetic in Canadian dollars. It is not an offer, a quote or a promise of approval.

Typical starting points

Monthly revenueTypically from around $20,000 a month in deposits for Canadian files. The exact line varies by funder and by file.

Time in businessTypically about 12 months. Newer businesses can be reviewed, but the options narrow.

Account healthLimited low-balance or negative days. Funders read the last few months of bank statements for this.

CreditScores from 500 are considered. A score of 600 or higher opens more options and better offers.

DocumentsA signed application and recent business bank statements, typically the last four months.

Existing advancesFiles with an existing advance can be reviewed, including second position.
