WELCOME TO Canada Small Business !
The Canada Small Business Financing Program (CSBFP) seeks to increase the availability of loans for establishing, expanding, modernizing and improving small businesses. It does this by encouraging financial institutions to make their financing available to small businesses. By sharing the risk with your financial institution, the program may help you secure up to $500,000.
The loans can cover 90% of the costs to:
- purchase or improve land or property
- purchase leasehold improvements or improve leased property
- purchase new equipment or improve used equipment
Who is eligible?
Eligible small businesses must be operating for profit in Canada and have annual gross revenues lower than $5 Million.
How do I apply for a loan?
A small business must apply directly to a participating financial institution (for example, bank, credit union). The institution is fully accountable for approval of the loan.
The Canada Small Business Financing (CSBF) Act was enacted in April 1999 to build on the success of its predecessor, the Small Business Loans Act. The Program's objectives are to streamline loan administration, improve its ability to achieve cost recovery and to extend financing that would otherwise have been unavailable to small-and medium-size enterprises.
In Today's Marketplace, Your Small Business Can't Afford Not to be Found
You need small business help in getting more customers because what used to work doesn't anymore.
Typical advertising platforms such as the YellowPages™ and newspaper ads are being replaced by the internet. This means that if you can't be found online, your business will suffer.

Will Your Potential Customers Be Able To Find You or Your Competition?
With
over 60% of consumers using the internet to start their
search for your product or service, being found online is
vital.
More and more businesses are using the internet to connect with new customers. By making your product or service findable on the internet, you can ensure that customers find you before your competitors.
Your Customers Expect You to be on the Internet
It
doesn't matter what type of small business you
operate, if you can't be found online you are losing
valuable business. Even if you have a website, if it isn't
being promoted or doesn't have proper marketing, it's like
putting up an advertisement in the middle of the desert.
It won't help you get any customers. Ask yourself, do you need small business help when it comes to your online presence?
How Well Does Your Business Website and Online Advertising Convert Visitors Into Sales?
Many
businesses spend $1,000's of dollars each month on expensive
website design and SEO services. Yet, these websites are
unable to convert their visitors into sales (which is the
sole purpose of a website to begin with).
While many costly websites are very pretty and flashy, they completely ignore the principles of salesmanship and marketing.
Get Your Small Business In Front of Buying Customers
Being
found by potential customers isn't limited to those with a
website. There are now several ways in which people looking
for what you offer can find you on the internet. The way

platforms and marketing opportunities for even the smallest
local businesses.
