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 funding can be used for a variety of business needs, including inventory purchases, marketing campaigns, hiring, or any other working capital expenses.
