SADC funding is particularly well suited for the following types of projects:

• Business start-up projects, which are often considered higher risk by traditional financial institutions such as banks;
• Expansion, modernization, or growth projects, especially when part of the financing is still needed for purchasing new or used equipment or for working capital needs;
• Succession, acquisition, or business purchase projects, which require more flexible financial structures;
• Innovation, digital, sustainable development, or high local impact projects.

The main advantages include:

• Flexible financing terms adapted to each business’s reality and growth capacity;
• Personalized support throughout the project: analysis, advice, follow-up, and strategic guidance;
• Complementarity with financial institutions, facilitating banking partnerships and hybrid financing structures.

SADC Lotbinière offers support for external professional fees in the form of non-repayable financial assistance. Contact an advisor to learn more and confirm your eligibility.
