Who this is for

Owner-managed Canadian businesses that are already operating and need funding faster or more flexibly than a bank can offer.

Established

At least 6 months in business, with regular deposits into a Canadian business bank account.

Revenue-generating

Typically $10,000 or more in average monthly revenue. Larger requests are reviewed against your financial statements.

Canada-based

Businesses operating in Canada, including Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and other provinces.

Not a fit today: businesses under 6 months old, real estate agents and brokerages, and requests where monthly revenue is below the lender minimums.

What owners use financing for

Cash flow gaps

Cover payroll, suppliers and taxes while you wait on slow-paying customers or a seasonal dip.

Inventory and equipment

Buy stock, tools or equipment without draining working capital.

Growth

Hire, open a location, win a bigger contract or take on a project that needs money up front.

Receivables

Turn unpaid invoices into working capital. Arranged case by case.

Costly debt or leases

If you are paying a lot for equipment leases or short-term advances, we will tell you whether a better structure may exist. Reviewed case by case.

Something else

If your need is larger or more complex, tell us. We will say plainly whether we can help or point you elsewhere.

Short-term business loan and working capital options

Most owners we speak with compare a few types of financing. We explain which may fit, and what each costs in total.

Short-term working capital loan

A lump sum repaid over about 4 to 24 months. Often unsecured. Suited to cash flow gaps, inventory and growth.

Business line of credit

Revolving access to funds you draw as needed. Available from some lenders for smaller limits.

Equipment and lease refinancing

If you are paying a lot for equipment leases, we will tell you whether a better structure looks possible.

What to expect

These figures are indicative only. Each lender sets its own terms, and every offer is subject to approval and to your actual numbers.

Typical amountsFrom about $5,000 up to $800,000 for working capital. Larger structures are arranged case by case.
Typical termsShort-term working capital, commonly 4 to 24 months.
SecurityMany working-capital options are unsecured. Some larger requests ask for more documents or security.
SpeedSame-day approval is possible once your file is complete, and requests under $100,000 can be funded in as little as 2 business days from application. Larger amounts usually take longer, commonly one to two weeks. Timing depends on the lender, a complete file and approval, and is never guaranteed.
CostFaster and easier to qualify for than a bank loan, and usually more expensive. We show you the total cost of each option in dollars before you decide.

Who you will deal with

Xito Capital Partners is a Calgary-based advisory firm led by Andrew Apedoe. Andrew began his career in valuation at MNP and investment banking at Nesbitt Burns. He has since worked on M&A and financing for middle-market companies.

Many of our clients come to us before a sale, a refinancing or a lender review. We prepare your numbers so the financing conversation goes better.

What Xito does

Xito is not a lender. We introduce businesses to independent lenders and funding providers.

We review your numbers, explain your options, and introduce you to lenders whose programs fit your business. The lender, not Xito, makes the credit decision and sets the terms.

Common questions

Does Xito lend money?

No. Xito reviews your situation and introduces you to independent lenders and funding providers. The lender makes the credit decision and sets the terms.

What will the financing cost?

The financing itself has a cost, which varies by lender, amount and term. Short-term working capital is usually more expensive than a bank loan, so we show you the total repayment in dollars for every option.

What is the difference between a short-term business loan and a bank loan?

Short-term working capital loans are usually faster and easier to qualify for than a bank loan, with shorter terms of about 4 to 24 months, and usually cost more. We show you the total repayment in dollars for each option before you decide.

What do I need to qualify for working capital financing?

Lenders typically look for at least 6 months in business, regular deposits into a Canadian business bank account, and about $10,000 or more in monthly revenue. Each lender sets its own requirements.

Will you run a credit check?

Xito does not pull your credit. A lender may review credit information as part of its decision, and only with your written consent. We will tell you before that happens.

How fast can I get funded?

Approval can come the same day once your file is complete. For requests under $100,000, funding can be as fast as 2 business days from application. Larger requests commonly take one to two weeks. It depends on the lender, how quickly you send a complete file, and approval, so timing is never guaranteed.

My request was turned down elsewhere. Can you still help?

Possibly. Tell us what happened on the review call. We will be direct about whether another lender is likely to say yes, and about what could improve your chances.

Can you help refinance equipment leases or other costly debt?

Sometimes. These requests depend on the contract terms and the equipment. Send us the details in the form and we will say honestly whether a better structure looks possible.

Is my information kept private?

Yes. We use it to review your request and to contact you. We share it with a lender only with your approval at each step. Please do not enter SIN or banking details in this form; we will give you a secure way to send documents later.
