What is local to Ottawa
For a very small or early-stage Ottawa business, the Ottawa Community Loan Fund, a non-profit serving the city since 2000, offers small business loans of up to $15,000 through a lending partner. An advance answers a different case: an established business with steady card or deposit volume that needs cash quickly and accepts a higher cost for the speed. It is sized on deposits and remitted from sales, with no fixed collateral.
