When it may fit

Our assessment of the published programs

  • Inuit-owned Qikiqtani businesses seeking a smaller secured startup or expansion loan.

What to weigh carefully

  • Grant availability and loan eligibility are separate decisions.
  • Confirm Inuit ownership requirements, security and current fund availability.

Questions before you accept an offer

  1. Does my ownership and location satisfy the fund requirements?
  2. What collateral and borrower contribution are required?

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.

Alternatives to research

These are options for a related financing need, not a ranking or a claim of equivalent eligibility or pricing.
