We also have some tools for you that may be of assistance;

The Business Plan Workbook; this booklet helps clients prepare a plan of action for the start-up or expansion of their business or project. It is a compilation of information to be used in a business plan. This will be a basis for both the Account Manager and the client to monitor the business plan's progress and make any necessary adjustments.

We also have a Cashflow worksheet available for your use. This can help you to estimate your costs and how much you may need to charge for your products or services.

No.

This is dependent on several factors including:

• Apeetogosan’s current work in progress. Files are generally treated on a “first in, first out” basis. The timing involved in providing additional information as requested by Apeetogosan. For example, a business plan. The complexity and size of the deal.

• The length of time it takes to analyze the information provided, prepare a recommendation and register the security for the loan.

10% is the minimum equity required. Apeetogosan, like any other lender, is concerned about controlling its level of risk. The age and type of security pledged to secure the loan often dictates the minimum level of equity required from the applicant. In addition, the level of risk due to the nature of the business also influences the minimum equity required. The loan will still require the necessary security as per policy.

Apeetogosan’s interest rates are comparable to rates charged by most of Canada’s major chartered banks. Our benchmark rates are based on rates established by the Royal Bank of Canada and adjusted according to risk.

Yes. The loan fee is charged to cover the costs of conducting business. These costs include fees for reviewing your loan application, fees for preparing your loan application, administration fees for preparing and registering the security documents and other “out of pocket” costs incurred by Apeetogosan. The loan fee does not cover any legal costs that may arise (ex. Notarization of a Personal Guarantee). Generally, the loan fee is a minimum of 1% of the total amount approved. This fee may be adjusted depending on the level of risk and/or administration costs.
