Frequently asked questions.

Who is eligible for this loan?

Applicants must be a permanent resident or Canadian citizen, operate in a non-agriculture-related industry, and run a for-profit company — or a revenue-generating non-profit.

How much can I get out of the loan?

A borrower may be eligible for term loans up to a maximum of $1,000,000, with no more than $500,000 allocated toward leasehold improvements, improvements to leased property, or the purchase and improvement of new or used equipment.

What do you need to prepare before applying?

You will need a comprehensive business plan or proposal for the financial officer to assess your application. We also recommend demonstrating that you have at least 30% of the requested loan amount saved in your business bank account.

How long does the whole application process take?

Applying with OneHub, the entire process — from preparing your business plan to obtaining bank approval and receiving funding — typically takes around two months.

What is the interest rate?

The interest rate is the lender's prime lending rate plus 3%.

Which industries is this loan best for?

It is designed for business-location renovations and equipment purchasing, so businesses with a physical location or storefront are an ideal match to get set up with government support.
