The Yukon business landscape

A mining, tourism and public-services economy centered on Whitehorse, with long distances and a short peak season.

Mining and exploration services
Tourism and outfitters
Government and public services
Construction and trades
Retail and hospitality in Whitehorse

Seasonality and cash flow

Summer tourism and exploration seasons concentrate revenue, while winter brings reduced deposits and higher heating and logistics costs.

Business environment

Federal GST applies and there is no territorial sales tax. Distance from suppliers makes inventory timing a real constraint.

An example in Yukon

Illustrative arithmetic

A Whitehorse outfitter deposits $60,000 a month in summer and $12,000 in winter. A $20,000 advance in April at 1.25 repays $25,000, planned against peak-season deposits.

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.

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.
