The Large Enterprise Tariff Loan facility has been widely publicized, but other options include the Export Development Canada (EDC) Trade Impact Program and the Ontario Together Trade Fund.<\/p><h4><strong>Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC) Pivot to Grow loans<\/strong><\/h4><p>BDC is offering business loans of up to $2 million to help you combat the impact of tariffs on your exports to the USA. At least 25% of your sales will need to be derived from exports to the US, or you will have to demonstrate that your business is significantly likely to be adversely affected by tariffs or the uncertainty they cause. Loan funds can be used to cover operational expenses, offset extra costs, make adjustments to your supply chain and more.<\/p><h4><strong>Canada Small Business Financing Program loans<\/strong><\/h4><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/business-loans\/canada-small-business-financing-program-loans\">The Canada Small Business Financing Program (CSBFP)<\/a> offers term loans of up to $1,150,000 and lines of credit of up to $150,000. These financing options are available from banks and credit unions, and they\u2019re backed by a guarantee from the Canadian government. Competitive interest rates apply, so the CSBFP could provide the funds your business needs to navigate tariff turmoil.<\/p><h4><strong>Business loans<\/strong><\/h4><p>Alternatively, you could apply for a business loan from a bank, credit union or online lender. You\u2019ll find lower rates from banks and credit unions, but they have stricter eligibility criteria than online lenders.<\/p><h3>Business loan interest rates to expect<\/h3><p>According to Statistics Canada, the average business loan interest rate in Canada is 4.93%.<\/p><p>Online lenders tend to offer higher rates than major banks, while bad credit business loans also come with higher APRs. The interest rate you\u2019ll get will vary depending on factors such as:<\/p><ul><li>Your creditworthiness<\/li><li>Your business\u2019 financial position and debt-to-income ratio<\/li><li>How much you borrow<\/li><li>The loan term<\/li><li>Whether you provide collateral to secure the loan<\/li><\/ul><h3>Factors to compare<\/h3><p>Consider the following features and factors when comparing tariff business loans and financial assistance options.<\/p><h4>Loans vs grants<\/h4><p>If you\u2019re searching for government financial assistance, your business may be eligible for a grant that doesn\u2019t need to be repaid. But if you\u2019re taking out a loan, you\u2019ll need to repay the loan amount (the principal) plus interest that accrues on your loan.<\/p><h4>Eligibility requirements<\/h4><p>Check what criteria you\u2019ll need to meet to qualify for funding. You\u2019ll need to satisfy annual revenue, time in business and credit score requirements. If you\u2019re applying for funding through a specialist program designed to provide financial support for tariff-impacted businesses, you\u2019ll typically need to demonstrate that the tariffs have had a significant effect on your business.<\/p><h4>Loan amount<\/h4><p>Check how much funding your business is eligible to receive. Is it enough to suit your requirements?<\/p><h4>Interest rate<\/h4><p>Shop around to find the business loan with the most competitive rate. The rate you get will depend on your business\u2019s credit history, financial situation, debt-to-income ratio, your loan amount and term and whether you provide collateral.<\/p><h4>Fees<\/h4><p>Read the fine print for details of any loan fees that apply, such as origination and admin fees, missed payment charges and early repayment penalties.<\/p><h4>Repayment period and flexibility<\/h4><p>How long do you have to repay your loan? Remember, while a longer repayment period will mean a more manageable monthly payment, it\u2019ll also mean you pay more interest in the long run. Make sure the repayment schedule suits your business\u2019s cash flow, and check whether you have the flexibility to repay the loan early without penalty.<\/p><h3>What you\u2019ll need to apply<\/h3><p>When you\u2019re ready to apply for a business loan, expect to undergo personal and business credit checks. You\u2019ll also need to provide:<\/p><ul><li>Your personal information, contact details and proof of ID<\/li><li>Details of your time in business<\/li><li>Annual revenue figures and details of your business cash flow<\/li><li>A business plan with financial projections<\/li><li>Information about how you intend to use the loan funds<\/li><\/ul><p>If you\u2019re applying for a secured loan, prepare details of the asset you\u2019ll be providing as collateral.<\/p><p>And if you\u2019re applying for specific government funding programs or a BDC Pivot to Grow loan, you may be required to demonstrate the impact tariffs have had (or the likely impact they are expected to have) on your business. This may include providing proof of the amount of business revenue that is generated by US exports and supplying financial statements to show the effect tariffs have had on your bottom line.<article class=\"luna-card luna-card--primary luna-card--border\">\n  <div class=\"luna-card__block\" style=\"padding:0.7em\">\n<span style=\"font-size:0.9em; font-weight: 800; font-style: italic; text-transform: uppercase;\">Related: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/business-loans\/business-loan-requirements\" style=\"text-decoration:underline; font-size:0.9em;\">Business loan requirements<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/article><\/p><h3>How to get a business loan if you have bad credit<\/h3><p>It\u2019ll be more difficult to get a business loan if you have bad credit, but it\u2019s certainly possible. However, you may need to look beyond traditional lenders like major banks, who generally have quite strict eligibility requirements.<\/p><p>Instead, consider online lenders that offer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/business-loans\/bad-credit-business-loans\">bad credit business loans<\/a> along with other types of financing, like merchant cash advances and invoice factoring. To improve your chances of qualifying for funding, you can:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Provide a detailed business plan.<\/strong> This will demonstrate the viability of your business, your plans for the future and the projected growth of your business.<\/li><li><strong>Demonstrate that you can afford repayments.<\/strong> Provide a repayment plan and details of upcoming contracts to show you will have sufficient income to afford loan repayments. Showing bank statements with a clean payment history and no NSF transactions will also boost your chances of approval.<\/li><li><strong>Provide collateral.<\/strong> Providing an asset as security for the loan reduces the risk for the lender and increases your chances of getting a loan.<\/li><li><strong>Reduce your credit utilization.<\/strong> Pay down existing debts, such as amounts owing on your business credit cards and lines of credit, to reduce your debt-to-income ratio. This lowers the risk for the lender, making them more likely to approve your loan.<\/li><\/ul><h3>Are there grants or support available to businesses impacted by tariffs?<\/h3><p>Yes, there are. If your business has been affected by US tariffs, there are multiple government financial assistance options available.<\/p><h4>Large Enterprise Tariff Loan (LETL) facility<\/h4><p>Offered by the Canadian Development Investment Corporation, the Large Enterprise Tariff Loan facility provides financing for large Canadian enterprises affected by tariffs. Loans of $60 million or more are available to companies that have $300 million or more in annual Canadian revenue. A company will need to demonstrate that they have sought funding from traditional sources first, plus commit to minimizing job losses and sustaining their Canadian business activities.<\/p><h4>Export Development Canada (EDC) Trade Impact Program<\/h4><p>EDC\u2019s Trade Impact Program provides $5 billion over two years to support Canadian exporters impacted by tariffs. The program includes trade credit insurance, foreign exchange risk management solutions, working capital guarantees to help businesses access larger loan amounts, and financing solutions.<\/p><h4>Farm Credit Canada (FCC) Trade Disruption Customer Support program<\/h4><p>This program provides $1 billion in new lending to help Canadian agriculture and food businesses overcome financial challenges and disruptions brought about by tariffs. Lines of credit of up to $500,000 are available along with term loans, while current business customers can defer principal repayments for up to 12 months on existing loans.<\/p><h4>CanExport SMEs Program<\/h4><p>This program provides small and medium businesses with grants of up to $50,000 to cover 50% of the costs of exporting products or services to new markets. However, the program was not accepting applications at the time of writing.<\/p><h4>Provincial government assistance<\/h4><p>Depending on where your business operates, financial support may also be available at the provincial level.<\/p><p>For example, the Ontario government has launched the Ontario Together Trade Fund (OTTF), a $50 million funding program to help Ontario businesses serve more customers in other provinces, develop new markets and bring their supply chains back to Ontario.

It's managed by the Canada Development Investment Corporation and provides loans to large Canadian enterprises (annual revenue of $300 million or more) that have been impacted by tariffs. Loans of $60 million or more are available to enterprises that may struggle to qualify for financing from traditional sources.\r"}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How easy is it to get a small business loan?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"\rAs a general guide, applying for a small business loan is a little more complicated than applying for a personal loan. You'll need to provide additional paperwork, such as a business plan and financial statements, and you'll also need to meet time in business and revenue requirements. Banks and credit unions have strict eligibility requirements, while online lenders have more lenient criteria and even offer bad credit business loans.\r"}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Do I need to provide collateral when applying for a business loan?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"\rNot necessarily. You can apply for an unsecured business loan that does not require any assets as collateral. But if you have bad credit and you want to boost your chances of approval, or if you just want to potentially qualify for a lower interest rate, you can provide collateral for a secured loan.\r"}}]}]},"article_modified_time":"2025-06-19T16:18:33+00:00"},"custom_fields":{"_masthead_variant":["{\"id\":\"standard-blue\",\"showFeaturedImage\":false,\"presetId\":\"\",\"shouldUsePrimaryCTAFieldName\":false,\"shouldUseSecondaryCTAFieldName\":false,\"primaryCTA\":null,\"secondaryCTA\":null,\"widgetShortcode\":\"\",\"widgetHeading\":\"\",\"widgetStats\":\"\",\"hasPrioritizedWidget\":false,\"hasMaximizedWidget\":false,\"shouldUseOverrideCTALabel\":false,\"overrideCTA\":null,\"cleanTopPicks\":\"\",\"tilesMenuId\":\"\"}"],"_masthead_subheading":["{\"text\":\"How and where to get a loan if your business has been impacted by the US&ndash;Canada trade war.\"}"],"_content_type":["niche-content\/information\/what-is"],"custom_post_template":["single-masthead-two-column.php"]},"amp_enabled":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1060357"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/516"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1060357"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1060357\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1060700,"href":"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1060357\/revisions\/1060700"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1060373"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1060357"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1060357"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1060357"},{"taxonomy":"asset_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/asset_tag?post=1060357"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
