Montreal, QC
Equipment financing lets Montreal owners purchase or lease trucks, machinery, and tools with the equipment itself acting as collateral — up to 100% LTV with terms to 7 years. It's a top fit for Montreal sectors like Aerospace, Tech & AI, Restaurants where a fixed monthly equipment payment is far easier than draining working capital on a cash purchase. Section 179 tax deductions apply, and most QC approvals close in 24–72 hours.
Scenarios are illustrative examples, not specific customer accounts.
In Montreal, the borrowing triggers rarely change: a slow-paying customer leaves payroll short, a contract needs equipment before it can start, a lease opens up for a second location, or a seasonal peak demands inventory now. Each of those calls for a different structure — short-term working capital behaves nothing like a multi-year SBA note — and picking the right one is where a broker like Simply Approved Business Loans earns its keep.
For Montreal businesses inside Quebec, our underwriters lean on 6 months of business bank statements as the primary signal. Strong, consistent deposits matter more than a single FICO number. That makes fast capital available even to Quebec owners who've been turned down by their primary bank on revenue-cycle issues alone.
Honest expectations save everyone time. The most common reasons we cannot fund a file:
Underwriting note: Pre-qualification is a soft check. Funded files require full underwriting, including business verification, bank-statement analysis, and a credit inquiry whose type is disclosed before signing. Hard inquiries (when required) report through Equifax Canada or TransUnion Canada.
A Montreal aerospace contractor with strong AR but slow-paying clients used an invoice line to cover sub-contractor payroll without diluting equity.
A Quebec-based manufacturing owner used an equipment-financing line to add a second location, preserving the working-capital line for inventory and marketing.
A Montreal restaurants business with $60K CAD in monthly deposits used a 12-month working-capital advance to bridge a slow quarter. Funded in under 48 hours, repaid weekly from gross sales.

Different uses call for different products. Here's how Montreal owners across aerospace, manufacturing, tech, and other day-to-day Quebec industries match each program to a specific cash-flow problem.
Montreal aerospace and manufacturing operators use a merchant cash advance when they need capital in 24 hours and would rather repay through a percentage of daily card and bank deposits than a fixed weekly bill. Slow weeks pull less, busy weeks pull more — well suited to seasonal Quebec businesses with strong card volume.
A business term loan fits Montreal owners financing a one-time, well-scoped project — a build-out, an acquisition, refinancing higher-cost stacked debt — where a fixed weekly payment matched to the project's payback period is what the cash flow can support. Most Quebec term loans we close run 24–60 months.
Montreal agencies, contractors, and tech businesses use a business line of credit to bridge payroll between client AR cycles. You only pay interest on the drawn balance, the line replenishes as you repay, and approval is faster the next time you draw — capital available before you need it, not after.
Montreal tech contractors and manufacturing owners use equipment financing because the asset secures the loan, which usually means lower rates and longer terms than unsecured working capital. $5K CAD–$5M CAD for trucks, kitchen equipment, machinery, or technology — often with the equipment vendor invoice paid directly at funding.
B2B Montreal businesses with slow-paying customers — common in aerospace and tech subcontracting — use invoice factoring or an invoice line to advance 80–90% of an open receivable on day one. The factor collects from the customer and pays the reserve net of fee. Cash gap closes without taking on a fixed-payment loan.
Montreal owners purchasing or refinancing owner-occupied property use commercial real estate loans for amortizations of 15–25 years and rates well below short-term capital. Common Quebec use cases: buying out a landlord, financing an expansion property, or pulling equity to fund a renovation.
Montreal startups under 12 months in business use personal-credit-based startup funding stacks, equipment financing collateralized by the asset, or 0% intro business credit cards routed through our partners. We're explicit about what's available pre-revenue so no one wastes a hard inquiry on a program they cannot qualify for.
Montreal owners use a working capital loan when the use case is short — payroll, inventory, marketing push, a single large supplier order — and they want a fixed amortization repaid in 6–18 months rather than the variable remittance of an MCA. Approval is revenue-based, so credit in the 500s is workable.
Montreal owners with FICO under 600 still fund routinely against strong bank deposits. We route bad-credit Quebec files to lenders who underwrite primarily on cash flow and time in business, not credit. The cost is higher than prime-credit pricing — we show it side-by-side so the trade-off is clear before signing.
