How it works

Funded in Three Straightforward Steps

No long waits, no vague timelines. A process you can actually track from start to funding.

1

Tell Us About Your Business

Fill out a short application or call us directly. Share what you need, what you've tried, and where things stand. We ask the right questions upfront so nothing is wasted on either side.

2

We Assess, Package, and Prepare

We review your financial position honestly. We identify what's working in your favour and what needs to be addressed — then we build the file: cash flow presentation, use-of-funds narrative, financial summaries, and documentation. Where a formal business plan is required, we'll tell you upfront.

3

Access Capital and Get Funded

We connect your completed file to the right lender, alternative financing source, or investor for your profile — and we stay with you through conditions, terms, and funding.

Funding solutions

Every Business Has a Different Capital Need. Here's How We Address Yours.

Canadian businesses have more financing options than most owners realize. If you're not sure what you qualify for, that's exactly the conversation we start with.

💳

Lines of Credit

A pre-approved credit facility you draw from as needed. Ideal for seasonal fluctuations, ongoing projects, or businesses that need capital to be available, not just accessible.

📋

Invoice & Receivables Financing

🏢

Alternative & Commercial Lending

Non-bank financing options and larger commercial facilities for businesses that don't fit traditional bank criteria or need a faster, more flexible structure.

Why Abria

Most Brokers Send Your File. We Build It First.

A disorganized application, a weak cash flow narrative, or the wrong lender match will get you declined — regardless of how strong the business actually is. We've seen it too many times with clients who came to us after a rejection.

Abria reviews your complete file before it goes anywhere. We close the gaps, strengthen the story, and structure the ask in a way that creates lender confidence. Then we identify the right financing channel for your specific situation — not just the closest one.

We're not paid to move paper. We're paid to get you funded.

  • Business plan preparation — available as a separate advisory engagement where required
  • Lender-ready file preparation and packaging
  • Cash flow and financial statement presentation
  • Use-of-funds narratives that hold up to scrutiny
  • Investor, angel, and VC proposal support
  • Executive summary preparation
Who we work with

Here's Who We Work With

We work with most Canadian businesses. If you're not certain you qualify, the best step is a short conversation — not a guess.

  • Your business is based and operating in Canada
  • At least 3 months of operating history under current ownership
  • Minimum $10,000 per month in average revenue
  • No open or undischarged bankruptcies
  • A genuine capital need with a clear intended use of funds

Don't meet every criterion?

If your revenue is strong but your file is disorganized — that's precisely what we fix. If you've been declined before and want to understand why — that's a conversation we're designed for. Startups with a credible business plan and a fundable concept may also qualify through advisory-supported applications.

The honest answer is that every situation is different. We'd rather spend 10 minutes with you than have you fill out three forms and wait a week for nothing.

Real-world situations

How Abria Helps Businesses Like Yours

The funding need looks different for every business. Here are three of the most common situations we work through.

Construction & Trades

Equipment down in the middle of a project?

When a key machine fails, every idle hour costs you. Fast equipment financing or an emergency working capital draw gets you back on site without burning reserves or missing a deadline.

Get funded →

Transportation & Freight

Receivables slow but the fleet still has to move?

Waiting on invoice payments while fuel, maintenance, and driver costs don't stop. Invoice financing or working capital keeps operations running between payments — without putting the business at risk.

Get funded →

Growth & Expansion

Ready to grow but the bank said no?

Banks decline strong businesses with incomplete files. We rebuild the application — proper business plan, clean financials, a coherent narrative — and match it to the right lender for your specific profile.

Common questions

Business Funding Questions — Answered Directly

How do I get a business loan in Canada?
To qualify for a business loan in Canada, you typically need at least 3 months of operating history, documented monthly revenue, and a clear use of funds. Working with a capital advisory firm ensures your application is properly prepared — including your business plan, financial statements, and cash flow narrative — before it reaches any lender. Abria handles this preparation as part of our process.
What documents do I need for a business loan in Canada?
Most Canadian lenders require 6 months of business bank statements, recent T2 corporate returns or financial statements, a business plan with a clear use-of-funds section, proof of business registration, and owner credit information. Abria helps you assemble and present all of these into a lender-ready package.
Why was my business loan application declined?
The most common reasons for a Canadian business loan decline are: incomplete documentation, a vague or unconvincing use-of-funds narrative, low monthly revenue, insufficient operating history, or approaching the wrong type of lender for the business profile. Abria reviews declined applications, identifies the specific gaps, and rebuilds the file before any resubmission.
Can I get a business loan with bad credit in Canada?
Yes — alternative lenders in Canada often evaluate businesses on revenue, time in operation, and the strength of the application rather than personal credit score alone. A well-packaged application significantly improves approval odds even for applicants with imperfect credit. We help structure the strongest possible file for your credit profile.
How long does it take to get business financing in Canada?
Alternative and non-bank lenders can fund qualifying applications in as little as 24 to 48 hours. Traditional bank processes typically take 2 to 6 weeks. Abria works with both channels — and the speed of approval often depends on the completeness of your application, which is why file preparation matters so much.
What is the difference between a capital broker and a bank?
A bank is a direct lender with its own rigid lending criteria. A capital broker like Abria works with multiple lenders and financing sources to find the right fit for your business — and unlike most brokers, we also prepare and package your application before submitting it anywhere. We don't lend money ourselves; we get you to the lender best suited to your situation.
Can a startup get a business loan in Canada?
Yes, though the requirements differ from established businesses. Startups typically need a strong business plan with financial projections, personal credit in good standing, and often a personal guarantee. Government-backed programs like the Canada Small Business Financing Program (CSBFP) are specifically designed to support startups purchasing eligible assets. Abria helps startups structure their application correctly for the financing options that are realistically available at the early stage.
What is the minimum monthly revenue to qualify for business financing in Canada?
Most alternative lenders in Canada require a minimum of $10,000 to $15,000 in average monthly revenue. Traditional banks typically require significantly more. Revenue consistency matters as much as the average — lenders want to see stable, predictable deposits over 3 to 6 months of bank statements. Equipment financing and invoice financing have different thresholds based on the asset or receivables involved.
When does alternative lending make more sense than going to a bank?
Alternative lending is often the right choice when the bank has declined, the business is under 2 years old, the revenue profile doesn't fit traditional bank criteria despite the business being profitable, or speed is critical and a 4-to-6-week bank timeline isn't workable. Alternative lenders cost more — but for businesses that don't fit the standard bank mold, they provide capital access that wouldn't otherwise exist.
What is the difference between a secured and unsecured business loan?
A secured business loan is backed by collateral — equipment, real estate, inventory, or accounts receivable — that the lender can recover if the loan isn't repaid. Secured loans typically offer better rates and higher approval odds because the lender's risk is reduced. An unsecured business loan has no specific collateral and is evaluated primarily on creditworthiness and cash flow. Most alternative lending products in Canada are technically unsecured but may still require a personal guarantee.
