A second look at National Bank

National Bank offers operating credit for cash-flow gaps and term financing for longer-lived assets. Its revolving term credit preauthorizes future asset purchases, with annual review of the available amount and conditions.

National Bank of Canada is the direct bank lender named in the financing approval disclosures. The reviewed programs are Canadian business offerings; CAD or USD availability does not establish US borrower eligibility.

Programs and published requirements

Compare the specific program and legal funding entity on your offer. Advertised limits and minimums do not guarantee eligibility or your price.

Operating line of credit

Purpose
Supports inventory and operating costs while awaiting customer payments.
Interest and currency
Available in CAD or USD. Variable interest is calculated daily using the bank base rate, on borrowed funds only; the approved spread is not universally published.
Repayment
Can be repaid from incoming cash, with automatic repayments using daily surplus funds. Ask about demand provisions and any borrowing-base reporting.
Approval and fees
Subject to credit approval. No universal credit limit, minimum credit score or complete fee schedule is established on the product page.

Provider sources: Operating credit program

Business term loan

Assets and amortization
Finances equipment, vehicles, buildings and certain intangible assets. Amortization follows the useful life of the financed asset.
Rate and currency
Fixed and variable pricing options; CAD and USD availability. The quote determines the rate and repayment schedule.
Disbursement
Eligible projects may receive draws according to work progress. Repayments can be tailored to the business and project.

Revolving term credit for future asset purchases

Structure
A preauthorized facility finances future purchases through one or more term loans within the approved amount.
Review
Credit capacity and conditions are reviewed annually; approval depends on financing needs and repayment capacity.
Interest
Interest begins when purchases are made. Confirm any separate authorization, unused-facility or review fees.

Provider sources: Revolving term credit

Bridge financing

Purpose and duration
Short-term financing against anticipated inflows such as grants, tax credits or equity issues, expiring in less than one year.
Rate and repayment
Variable interest calculated daily using the bank base rate; repayment can follow expected cash inflows, subject to the agreement.

Provider sources: Bridge loan program

Preparing a business financing application

Evidence
The bank’s preparation guide recommends a documented project or business plan, financial position and projections. Acquisition requests should explain the proposed down payment.
Assessment
Financial performance, repayment capacity and profitability are considered; startup assessment also considers the industry, market and competitive position. These are preparation factors, not a published approval formula.

Provider sources: Application preparation

When it may fit

Our assessment of the published programs

  • Canadian businesses comparing a cash-flow facility with asset-purchase financing.
  • Businesses planning several capital purchases and seeking preauthorized capacity.
  • Firms with identifiable future inflows suitable for a short bridge facility.

What to weigh carefully

  • No universal numerical interest rate, lending fee, approval time or loan amount is established for these conventional programs.
  • Annual review can change available revolving term credit and conditions.
  • Ask separately about security, personal guarantees, prepayment costs and renewal charges.
  • Province and program availability require confirmation. Currency choice should match the business’s cash flows.

Questions before you accept an offer

  1. What base rate and spread apply, and what are all setup, annual review and unused-limit fees?
  2. Is the operating facility repayable on demand, and what reporting or borrowing base applies?
  3. What collateral and personal guarantees are required?
  4. How do term-loan maturity, amortization and fixed-rate prepayment charges differ?
  5. What evidence must support a bridge inflow, and what happens if it arrives late?

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.
