Strategic Financing Solutions for BC Entrepreneurs
How do you secure the capital needed to grow a small business on Vancouver Island? At Van Island Business Capital, our suite of capital services has served many existing companies with the funding they need to level up.
Whether you are looking to bridge a cash flow gap or fund a major expansion, here are the primary financing alternatives we offer:
1. Small Business Loans & Equipment Financing
For companies with hard assets, up-to-date financials and tax returns and stronger credit, there are lower-cost, asset backed solutions available.
2. Equipment Focus
We specialize in helping businesses procure the machinery or technology required for expansion. Our Funding Advisors work directly with you to structure equipment loans that fit your specific industry requirements.
3. Merchant Cash Advances (MCA)
A popular choice for BC retail and hospitality sectors, an MCA provides an upfront sum of cash in exchange for a fixed percentage of your future daily or weekly credit card sales. This ensures your repayment fluctuates naturally with your revenue—slowing down when business is quiet and speeding up during peak seasons.
4. Business Line of Credit
For ultimate flexibility, a revolving line of credit allows you to withdraw funds up to a set limit whenever the need arises. You only pay interest on the amount you actually use. Once repaid, the funds become available again, providing a permanent safety net for your cash flow.
5. Invoice Factoring
Don't let unpaid invoices stall your momentum. Invoice factoring allows you to sell your outstanding accounts receivable to us for an immediate cash advance. We handle the collection from your debtors, and you get the liquidity you need to keep moving forward today.
6. Challenged Credit Solutions
We believe a credit score shouldn't be the only factor in your success. Our "Low Credit" business funding options are designed for entrepreneurs who may not meet the rigid criteria of traditional commercial banks but have a strong, viable business model.
7. The Island Advantage:
We understand the local economic landscape from Victoria to Campbell River. Our goal is to provide faster approvals and more flexible terms than traditional big-box lenders.
