Accord Small Business Finance is a subsidiary of Accord Financial Corp. In business for nearly 40 years, and listed on the TSX stock exchange, Accord is one of the largest and most stable independent finance companies in Canada.  With offices in Canada in Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver, we are a well-established player in the lending industry.

In a time when there are numerous new lending companies coming to market, we believe its important you know you’re dealing with a financially strong, committed, and experienced lender.

Accord offers numerous types of loans and financial services to help you as you grow. Our other services include equipment, receivables, and inventory financing, and much more.

Our business loans are easy to apply for.  If we offer you a loan, you are under no obligation to accept it, and no fees will be charged for not proceeding.

When applying you will need to have the following information at hand (or, optionally, we will provide instructions to you as to how to provide it at a later date):

  • Fill out our online form and we’ll send you our application form;
  • Email us your completed application form, along with copies of your last three months bank statements from your business bank account (PDF or similar format). These are easily downloaded from your bank’s online banking website;
  • If you have accountant-prepared financial statements, that are less than 6 months old, you can provide a copy of them instead of bank statements.

All information we receive from you is kept completely confidential and secure.  We do not sell or share any client information whatsoever with any third parties, with the exception of our reports to the major credit bureaus.

We aim to be the most transparent business lender in Canada – there are no fees other than the lender fee and interest rate which are clearly outlined in our loan agreement. And unlike your bank and other lenders, we won’t ask for your home, car, equipment or your credit card receipts as collateral – your good character is enough. Our pricing takes this, and the very short term, into account.

Your application will be reviewed by one of our experienced credit officers.  Why is this important?  Because many lenders made credit decisions based only on automated computer-based credit models.  At Accord Small Business Finance we know there’s much more to understanding your situation than that.  This allows us to consider your application and your situation even if you fall outside of our ideal criteria. You can even speak to us over the phone to explain your situation, speaking directly to an actual decision maker – something few lenders offer.
