The actual financing is primarily available in two forms. The small business loan program insured by the federal government will finance equipment and leaseholds up to a total value of $250,000. This program is very broad based in terms of the types of businesses and industries it will consider.
Leasehold improvements can also be financed through equipment leasing programs provided by Canadian based leasing companies. The key difference with leasing is that the applications considered are far more limited due to the fact that there is no government lease insurance program to protect the losses incurred by leasing companies from lessee default situations.
Leasing companies are primarily focused on providing leasehold improvement financing to medical offices and other related professional service organizations that have very strong credit profiles and low default rates.
For those that qualify, the ability to finance leaseholds is a definite plus as the funding would otherwise have to come out of cash flow, reducing the amount of work that could be performed in many cases.
