Core Business Financing Programs.

The Métis Financial Corporation was created to provide British Columbia’s Métis entrepreneurs with financing and business development support designed to meet your specific needs. These services will help you build your British Columbia Métis owned and controlled business.

If you are a Métis citizen in British Columbia looking at the possibility of owning or expanding your existing business, the Métis Financial Corporation can help provide access to financing for business start-up, acquisition, or expansion of viable businesses. We know that no two businesses are the same and so the risk and term of the loan determine the interest rate and therefore are decided case by case.

All our traditional business loans may be eligible for a contribution grant. The contribution grant is not a stand-alone grant, and you must be approved for a traditional business loan to be qualified.

Our mandate and structure permits us to provide loans to Métis entrepreneurs that commercial lenders such as banks and credit unions may not be able to provide. Métis Financial Corporation seeks to strengthen the Métis economy through economically viable Métis owned and controlled businesses.

Business Plan Support

You do not require a business plan in place before applying, however, a business plan will be required should MFC move forward with the loan request. When your application moves forward, applicants will be referred to our business consultant to work on the business plan. You must have an active application to be considered for our service.

Already have a business plan?

For clients who have a business plan already, you may submit that with your application as a supporting document. However, all applicants applying to MFC for funding will still be required to go through our business consultant. This is to ensure the process is fair and equal to all applicants.

Disclaimer

Moving your application forward to our business plan consultant does not guarantee approval for a loan.

Applicants must be Métis, 18+, and a BC resident for 6+ months. The business must be 51% Métis owned, based in BC, and involve a viable project over $20,000.

Applicants need a business plan, 10% cash equity, industry experience, licensing, and pass a credit check. Pre-purchased items are ineligible.
