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.

SADC Lotbinière can also assist you in identifying available grants and programs (government loans, tax credits, and loan guarantees) at the local, provincial, and national levels.
