Professional Services
“A private bridge loan paired with a longer-term collateral loan let us close on schedule, without giving up equity.”
Manufacturing

Retail & E-Commerce
“The grants-first approach uncovered a subsidy we didn’t know we qualified for — it covered a real chunk of our expansion costs.”
Construction
“Collateral financing gave us the working capital to take on a larger contract than we could have handled otherwise.”

Still wondering about funding your business, and how Green Light can get you there? Read these answers to our most commonly asked questions.
We work across the full funding landscape — government grants, government-backed loans, collateral financing, and private capital — so we can match you with the right structure rather than a single fixed product.
Amounts vary by product — from a few thousand dollars in grant funding up to several million in private capital. Your advisor will look at your revenue, time in business, and goals to identify the right range for you.
Timelines depend on the funding source. Private financing can often move within days, while government-backed programs and grants typically take longer due to program requirements. We’ll set clear expectations upfront.
Requirements vary by program, but most ask for an active Canadian business, a minimum period of operating history, and basic financial documentation. We’ll tell you exactly what applies to your situation during your free assessment.
No. We’re an independent advisory firm, not a lender. We compare funding sources across the market and help you access the ones that fit your business, rather than pushing you toward our own product.
Most financing can support working capital, equipment, inventory, hiring, expansion, renovations, or acquisitions. Some programs, like certain grants, are restricted to specific uses — we’ll flag those clearly before you apply.
Your funding assessment is free and comes with no obligation. Where fees apply on certain financing products, they’re always disclosed clearly before you commit to anything.
That’s common. It’s one of the reasons we look at private capital and short-term facilities alongside longer government programs, so a temporary cash flow gap doesn’t lock you into financing built for a different purpose.
Whether you’re launching a new venture, expanding operations, purchasing equipment, or acquiring another business, our advisors will help you identify the smartest funding strategy available.
