Document Checklist for Canadian Business Financing

Canada Business Loan is a marketplace, not a lender. The documents a provider requests depend on the product, the business, and the provider’s own criteria. The list below covers items commonly requested. Prepare what you have; missing items do not automatically disqualify you.

Business identity

• Business registration or articles of incorporation.
• Business number (BN) or GST/HST account confirmation.
• Ownership structure (shareholders or partners).

Financial statements

• Recent financial statements (profit & loss, balance sheet) if available.
• Bank statements for the last 3–6 months.
• Accounts receivable aging if relevant to the request.

Purpose and cash flow

• Clear description of the financing need and how funds will be used.
• Rough cash-flow projection or repayment capacity notes.
• Existing debt schedule if any.

No single set of documents guarantees approval. Providers decide eligibility, rates, and terms. Start with an inquiry to see what a specific provider needs.
