Capital Access &
Risk Solutions

From securing the right loan to building risk frameworks that protect your business — end to end.

Term Loans

Fixed or variable-rate term financing for equipment purchases, expansion, renovations, and capital expenditures — structured to match your cash flow.

Business Lines of Credit

Revolving credit facilities that give you flexible access to capital when you need it — ideal for managing seasonal cash flow gaps and short-term working capital.

SBA Loans (USA) & BDC Loans (Canada)

Government-backed loan programs offering favorable rates and terms. We navigate the application process for SBA 7(a), BDC, and CSBFP programs on your behalf.

Commercial Real Estate Financing

Purchase, refinance, or construction financing for commercial properties in Canada and the US — including cross-border real estate transactions.

Equipment & Asset Financing

Lease-to-own and equipment financing structures that preserve capital while keeping your operations fully equipped and competitive.

Cross-Border Financing

Coordinated financing for businesses with operations in both countries — managing currency exposure, lender requirements, and regulatory compliance in each jurisdiction.

Financial Risk Assessment

Comprehensive analysis of your business's exposure to credit, liquidity, market, and operational risks — with a clear risk register and mitigation priorities.

Risk Mitigation Frameworks

Custom policies and controls to reduce exposure — internal approval processes, spending limits, segregation of duties, and fraud prevention structures.

Currency & FX Risk Management

For businesses transacting in both USD and CAD — hedging strategies, forward contracts, and treasury policies to manage exchange rate volatility.

Credit Risk Management

Customer and counterparty credit assessment, accounts receivable monitoring, collection policies, and credit limit frameworks to protect your revenue.

Business Continuity Planning

Financial contingency plans, emergency liquidity reserves, and scenario planning so your business can weather unexpected disruptions without derailing.

Insurance & Liability Review

Reviewing your current coverage against your actual risk exposures — identifying gaps in business interruption, professional liability, and key-person coverage.

Cash Flow Forecasting

Rolling 13-week and annual cash flow models that give you visibility into upcoming liquidity needs — so you can act before a shortage occurs.

Working Capital Optimization

Strategies to improve your cash conversion cycle — optimizing receivables collection, payables terms, and inventory turnover to free up operational cash.

Capital Structure Advisory

Debt vs. equity analysis and optimal capital structure recommendations — balancing leverage, cost of capital, and flexibility for your growth stage.

Financial Stress Testing

Scenario modeling for economic downturns, revenue drops, and interest rate changes — so you know exactly how your business would perform under pressure.

Strategic Financial Planning

3–5 year financial roadmaps aligned to your business objectives — with key milestones, funding requirements, and KPI benchmarks built in.

Professional loan application packages with financial projections, business plans, and supporting documentation — maximizing your approval prospects.

How We Secure
Your Financing

The difference between approval and rejection often comes down to how well your application is structured. We prepare you — and your financials — to present the strongest possible case to lenders.

Lender-Agnostic Advocacy

We work with chartered banks, credit unions, alternative lenders, and government programs — recommending the best fit for your specific situation, not the highest commission.

01

Needs Analysis

We understand your funding need, timeline, use of proceeds, and existing debt structure before recommending any solution.

02

Financial Package Preparation

We prepare or review your financial statements, cash flow projections, and business plan to ensure everything is lender-ready and compelling.

03

Lender Matching

We identify the most suitable lenders for your profile — banks, credit unions, BDC, SBA, or alternative financing — and manage the introduction.

04

Application & Negotiation

We manage the application process, respond to lender questions, and negotiate terms — rate, amortization, covenants, and prepayment provisions.

05

Ongoing Covenant Monitoring

After funding, we track your financial covenants and flag any risks of breach — keeping your lender relationship healthy and your credit profile strong.

The Four Risk Domains

Every business faces these four categories of financial risk. We assess your exposure in each — then build the frameworks to manage it.

Credit Risk

The risk that customers or counterparties fail to meet their payment obligations — eroding your receivables and cash flow.

Typical SME Exposure High

Liquidity Risk

The risk of being unable to meet short-term obligations — even when the business is profitable on paper, timing mismatches can cause a crisis.

Typical SME Exposure Very High

Market Risk

Exposure to interest rate movements, foreign exchange fluctuations, and commodity price swings that affect your costs or revenue.

Typical SME Exposure Medium

Operational Risk

Losses from inadequate processes, human error, fraud, or system failures — often the most underestimated source of financial loss in growing businesses.

Typical SME Exposure High

The T&F Difference

Funding advice and risk management without conflicts of interest — because your growth is the only outcome we care about.

Lender-Agnostic Guidance

We are not tied to any lender. Our recommendations are based entirely on what's best for your business — rate, structure, and long-term fit.

Integrated with Your Books

Because we manage your accounting too, we already have the financial data lenders need — making applications faster and more compelling.

Cross-Border Expertise

Financing and risk management across two countries requires someone who understands both systems. We do — from BDC loans to SBA programs, CRA covenants to US GAAP lender tests.

Dedicated Advisor

One professional manages your file. They know your business, your lenders, and your risk profile — so every decision is made with the full picture.

Proactive Risk Monitoring

We don't just build risk frameworks and walk away. We monitor your key indicators and flag emerging issues before they become costly problems.

Frequently Asked
Questions

Funding and risk management decisions are high-stakes. Here are the questions we hear most often — we're always happy to dig into your specific situation.

Ask Us Anything
We work with incorporated businesses of all sizes — from early-stage startups seeking their first line of credit, to mid-market companies refinancing existing debt, to cross-border enterprises managing dual-jurisdiction financing. We do not arrange personal consumer loans.
Often, yes. A bank decline doesn't mean you're not fundable — it often means the application wasn't structured correctly, or the wrong lender was approached. We'll review what happened, identify what needs to be strengthened, and explore alternative lenders or government programs that may be a better fit.
An audit verifies the accuracy of past financial statements. A risk assessment is forward-looking — it identifies where your business is exposed to credit, liquidity, market, and operational risks, then builds strategies to reduce those exposures before they cause a loss. The two complement each other but serve very different purposes.
Yes — this is one of our core specializations. Cross-border businesses face unique challenges in financing (different lending markets, currencies, and regulatory requirements) and risk management (FX exposure, intercompany transactions, dual-jurisdiction covenants). We handle both sides cohesively.
The Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC) is a Crown corporation that focuses specifically on small and medium-sized businesses. BDC loans often have more flexible terms, longer amortizations, and are more accessible to businesses that don't perfectly fit chartered bank criteria. They're complementary — many businesses use both. We'll advise on the right mix for your situation.
Timeline varies by lender and complexity. Alternative lenders and lines of credit can close in as little as 1–3 weeks. Chartered bank term loans typically take 4–8 weeks. Government-backed programs (SBA, BDC) often run 6–10 weeks. We'll set realistic expectations upfront and manage the timeline to keep things moving.
