Financial support solutions

Loans

Loans may be a better choice for companies who prefer the least amount of share dilution. Unsecured loans may be taken out for 3- to 5-year terms with flexible payment terms linked to company forecasts.

Financing packages can sometimes combine the features of loans and equity financing. This financial instrument falls between senior debt and equity in a company's financial structure.

Equity participation

For companies seeking longer-term financial commitments for growth-generating projects, Desjardins Venture Capital can invest through share capital ownership, generally for periods of 5 to 8 years. A shareholder agreement binds both parties. The financing supports the company's strategic plan, namely through participation in the company board of directors and access to business networks.
