Up to $1.15 million in government-guaranteed loans may be available under the Canada Small Business Financing Program, subject to eligibility and lender approval.
Starting a retail business can involve several upfront costs before the store is ready to open.
Common startup needs may include:
β Store fixtures and shelving
β Point-of-sale systems
β Leasehold renovations
β Equipment purchases
β Opening inventory setup
A well-structured financing request helps lenders understand what the funds will be used for, how the business plans to generate sales, and how repayment may be supported.
The clearer the plan, the easier it is for lenders to understand the opportunity.
