We understand that every business is different. That’s why loan terms and interest rates are assessed on a case-by-case basis, depending on the risk and structure of the project.

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 Guidance for Métis Entrepreneurs

You don’t need a completed business plan to apply, but if your loan request progresses, a business plan will be required. At that point, you'll be referred to MFC’s business consultant to help develop or refine your plan.

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.
