E-Commerce Financing

Overview of the E-Commerce Financing program:

The Merchant Growth eCommerce Funding Program is specifically designed to support online businesses across Canada by offering accessible and streamlined financing options. Recognizing the unique cash flow cycles and rapid growth potential of eCommerce businesses, the program offers funding solutions that are customized and hassle-free, ensuring that merchants can focus on business expansion rather than worrying about working capital. The process is entirely online, featuring a simple application process with minimal paperwork and fast turnaround times. Approved businesses can receive funds as quickly as within 24 hours. The funding can be used for a variety of business needs, including inventory purchases, marketing campaigns, hiring, or any other working capital expenses. The program provides a more inclusive approach to lending, evaluating the business’s overall performance rather than solely relying on traditional credit metrics. Merchant Growth offers personalized repayment structures that match the pace of online business operations, including fixed or flexible daily repayments based on sales volume.
