When it may fit

Our assessment of the published programs

Worth comparing for an eligible U.S. business with business-asset collateral or planned purchases spread over several months.

What to weigh carefully

Canadian BMO products and CSBFP rules do not apply to this U.S. bank profile.
Geography and credit-exposure conditions are program-specific; specialty healthcare and transport coverage can differ.
No universal credit-score, revenue minimum or fee-free offer was established.
SBA tables can include older program descriptions; confirm current SBA rules and project-specific terms.

Questions before you accept an offer

Which legal entity provides the financing?
Does my location qualify for this particular program?
How does existing BMO exposure affect the limit?
What happens after the Flex Loan draw period, and what rate and fees apply?
What assets and guarantees secure the offer?

Ask for written terms. Compare net cash received, total repayment, fees, payment timing and early-payoff costs for the same financing need.

Prepare your comparison

Use the same questions and figures for each offer you receive.
