Canada Small Business Financing Program (CSBFP)

CSBFP1 is a federal program that helps new and existing Canadian businesses with annual gross (or forecasted) revenues of $10 million or less gain access to bank financing.

With this program, a business can borrow up to 100% of the cost of acquiring eligible assets.

A business may borrow up to $1,000,000, of which a maximum of $500,000 can be used for leasehold improvements or equipment (new or used). From the last amount of $500,000, a maximum of $150,000 can be used to finance intangible assets and working capital costs.

The government's guarantee for financing real property is 15 years and 10 years for other types of assets.
