Why working capital?

BUSINESS DOESN'T ALWAYS WAIT FOR CASH FLOW.

A business can be healthy and still have a timing problem. Customers may pay later. Payroll arrives first. A supplier may offer an opportunity today. A new contract may require upfront spending. Inventory may need to be purchased before the busy season.

Working capital can help bridge the space between money going out and revenue coming in. It's not only for businesses in trouble — it's for good businesses that need a little more room to keep moving.

What can working capital help with?

USE CAPITAL WHERE YOUR BUSINESS NEEDS IT.

Inventory

Purchase inventory for busy periods, larger orders or supplier opportunities without tying up all of your available cash.

Payroll

Help keep your team paid while your business waits for receivables, seasonal revenue or customer payments.

Suppliers

Manage supplier obligations and secure the materials or products your business needs to keep operating.

New Contracts

Help cover upfront labour, materials or operating costs when a new project creates expenses before revenue.

Marketing

Invest in advertising, promotions or customer acquisition when an opportunity to grow makes sense.

Expansion

Support additional staff, increased capacity, renovations, another location or other growth initiatives.

Cash-Flow Gaps

Bridge timing differences between operating expenses and incoming business revenue.

Unexpected Expenses

Give your business more flexibility when an important expense wasn't part of the original plan.

SOMETIMES THE OPPORTUNITY ARRIVES BEFORE THE MONEY DOES.

  • A large order lands.
  • A supplier offers favourable pricing.
  • A new contract is awarded.
  • Your busy season starts early.
  • A second location becomes available.
  • The equipment needs fixing now.

Working capital can give your business more room to respond.

WORKING CAPITAL FOR REAL-WORLD BUSINESS NEEDS.

BizFin.ca works with businesses across a range of Canadian industries. Explore financing across sectors and see industry-specific information.

Construction

Materials, payroll, new jobs and project expenses may occur before customers pay.

Transportation & Trucking

Fuel, maintenance, payroll and operating costs keep moving even when receivables haven't arrived.

Restaurants & Hospitality

Inventory, staffing, renovations and seasonal operating costs can create short-term capital needs.

Retail

Inventory commitments often come well before the products are sold.

Manufacturing

Materials, labour and increased production may require capital before finished goods generate revenue.

Automotive & Trades

Parts, payroll, equipment, inventory and new business opportunities can all create working-capital requirements.

Professional Services

Project costs, staffing and growth initiatives may arrive ahead of client payments.

Wholesale & Distribution

Large purchase commitments and inventory may strain cash flow before orders ship.

WORKING CAPITAL OR EQUIPMENT FINANCING?

Equipment Financing

If the financing is primarily for a specific piece of equipment, equipment financing may make more sense.

Equipment Financing

Working Capital

If the need is broader — such as inventory, payroll, suppliers, operating expenses or cash-flow flexibility — working capital may be the better place to start.

NOT SURE?

You don't need to choose the product first. Tell us what you're trying to accomplish.

SECURED OR UNSECURED?

You don't need to figure that out before you start.

Different financing solutions can use different structures. Some may be available without a specific business asset being pledged, while others may involve security or collateral.

Start by telling BizFin.ca what your business needs. The appropriate structure depends on the financing option and your business circumstances.

BUSINESS ISN'T ALWAYS PERFECT ON PAPER.

Financing decisions may consider a number of factors, including revenue, time in business, business profile, credit history, financing purpose and the information provided in the application.

If you've experienced credit challenges or aren't sure what may be available, you can still start by telling us about your business.

NOT READY TO APPLY?

THEN DON'T.

If you're still researching, unsure how much you need or simply want to understand the options, start with a conversation instead. Tell us what you're thinking about and how to reach you — no full application required.
