For Business Owners and Entrepreneurs - What to do when the Bank says “No”
October 21, 2020
During Small Business Week 2020, we provided business owners and entrepreneurs guidance on how to secure capital from non-traditional lenders. Attendees went away with a better understanding of access to debt capital and the role of private debt funding for small to mediums sized businesses across Canada at a time when obtaining commercial credit from Canada's Schedule A Banks and credit unions is becoming increasingly more difficult.
