Financing to unlock your potential

We provide innovative junior capital financing to mid-market businesses across all industries in Canada. We’re passionate about helping you grow, acquire or transition.

Junior capital solutions

If your business lacks the assets to secure senior debt, or you want to grow with little or no dilution, we’ve got a solution for you.   Junior capital refers to our suite of subordinated-debt, mezzanine and minority equity financing solutions.

 

We take a second-position security interest and focus on cash flow—allowing us to see the big picture and invest in your future.   We tailor flexible solutions that address your funding gaps with speed and certainty—so you can focus on building your business.
