Products compared here

• Business loans: Commercial borrowing, what lenders read in a business file, and how the assessment differs from personal credit.

How borrowing works locally

A secured product gives the lender a claim on a named asset, which is why its price is usually lower than an unsecured equivalent.

A broker arranges credit but does not lend, and the lender remains the party that makes the decision. Provincial licensing decides who may lend, and federal rules add a ceiling where a licensed payday regime exists.
