When it may fit

Our assessment of the published programs

  • Indigenous NWT entrepreneurs seeking a regional finance partner.

What to weigh carefully

  • Loan limits, pricing, security and ownership criteria need confirmation for the selected product.
  • Contribution programs listed alongside lending are separate from repayable credit.

Questions before you accept an offer

  1. Does my Indigenous ownership and NWT project meet eligibility?
  2. What loan amount, security and contribution funding can be combined?

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.
