Where Voxen fits

A grant that covers half a project still leaves the other half, and a program that reimburses after costs are paid leaves the business to front its own share and the program's until the money arrives.

Voxen arranges financing for that gap with its existing products: a line of credit, a bridge loan, a term loan, equipment financing or invoice factoring. Each is assessed on the business's revenue and file like any other application. The grant is not used as security.

Frequently asked questions

Is Voxen a government agency?

No. Voxen Capital is a private financing broker based in Montreal. It does not run, decide or influence any government program.

Can Voxen get my business a grant?

No. Only the program decides who receives a grant, and no one can promise one. Voxen does not prepare grant applications. It can arrange financing for the share of a project your business pays, and for the wait until a program pays.

Why would a business with a grant need financing?

Because most programs pay a share of a project, often 50%, and many pay after the costs are incurred. The business still has to fund its own share and, often, carry the whole cost until the program pays.
