Our assessment of the published programs

  • Entrepreneurs operating in the listed Niagara municipalities needing local capital and advice.

Questions before you accept an offer

  1. Which program and legal financing entity will fund this request?
  2. What security, owner contribution, fees and repayment conditions apply?

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.
