Our verdict

Written and analysed by Smarter Loans Editorial Team · Reviewed by Rafael Rositsan

Best for

Established businesses (8+ months, $15K+ monthly revenue) that need $25,000 or more within days and whose owners want underwriting based on business performance, not personal credit

Not for

Startups under 8 months old, businesses below $15,000 monthly revenue, anyone needing less than $25,000, or borrowers who want to compare published rates before applying

What we like

  • No hard credit check at application - soft check only
  • Same-day offers (before 2 p.m.) and funding often within 24 hours
  • Unsecured - no collateral and no personal guarantee per their FAQ
  • High ceiling for the category at $1,000,000
  • Minimal documentation: basic details and recent bank statements

Where it could improve

  • No rates, factors or fees published anywhere on the site
  • Direct-lender vs. marketplace role is ambiguous (site references fees from lending partners)
  • Served provinces not listed - availability varies by province
  • $25,000 minimum is high for very small funding needs
  • Trading-history requirement stated inconsistently (8 months vs. a year)

Eligibility and documents

Elect Capital publishes three requirements and evaluates the business, not the owner's credit score.

Common questions about Elect Capital

What is Elect Capital?

Elect Capital is a business funding platform headquartered in Toronto (30 Adelaide St. East) that provides Canadian small and medium-sized businesses with short-term working capital of $25,000 to $1,000,000. It underwrites on business revenue, cash flow and trading history rather than the owner's personal credit score, and also operates in the UK, US and Australia.

What products does Elect Capital offer?

Elect Capital offers one core product - short-term, unsecured working capital - available for different needs: fast business funding, unsecured business funding, short-term business funding and working capital funding. All ranges run $25,000 to $1,000,000 over 3 to 12 months, with no collateral required.

How much can I borrow from Elect Capital?

Elect Capital provides working capital from $25,000 up to $1,000,000 for Canadian businesses. The amount you qualify for depends on your monthly revenue, cash flow and trading history rather than your personal credit score.

What does Elect Capital funding cost?

Elect Capital does not publish rates or fees on its Canadian site. All costs are disclosed in the offer you receive, before you commit to anything, and applying is free. Ask for the total cost of borrowing in dollars when you review an offer.

What is the term length for Elect Capital funding?

Repayment terms run from 3 to 12 months. Elect Capital says schedules are tailored to your business and designed to align with your revenue cycle, and early repayment is typically allowed - any early-repayment options and fees are explained before you accept an offer.

How do I qualify for Elect Capital funding?

Your business must be registered in Canada as a corporation or partnership, have been trading for at least 8 months, and generate at least $15,000 in monthly revenue. Underwriting weighs revenue, cash flow and trading momentum - you don't need perfect credit or property as collateral.

Can I apply online for Elect Capital funding?

Yes. The application is a short online form that takes about 2 minutes, with no paperwork, no branch visits and no hard credit pull. You'll need basic business details and recent bank statements.

Will applying affect my credit score?

No. Elect Capital performs a soft credit check at application, which does not affect your score. A full credit check is only run if you decide to proceed with an offer, and they say they will tell you before doing so.

How fast can I get funding from Elect Capital?

Apply before 2 p.m. local time and you can receive an offer the same business day; approval can come in as little as 4 hours. Once you accept, funds typically arrive within hours - most businesses are funded within 24-48 hours.

How will Elect Capital send me the funds?

Once you accept your offer, the capital is deposited directly into your business bank account - often within hours of acceptance.

Do I need collateral or a personal guarantee?

No. Elect Capital's funding is unsecured - no property, equipment or other assets are required, and its published FAQ states no personal guarantee is required.

Which provinces is Elect Capital available in?

Elect Capital serves businesses across all Canadian provinces and territories, with funded clients from Vancouver to Halifax. Product availability and terms can vary by province and applicant profile.

What industries does Elect Capital fund?

Most sectors, including restaurants, retail and e-commerce, manufacturing and distribution, healthcare, hospitality, construction, accounting and professional services, information technology and law firms. Common uses include bridging seasonal cash flow, funding contracts, covering supplier invoices and managing tax payments.

What kind of customer support does Elect Capital offer?

Each business works with a dedicated, Canadian-based funding advisor rather than a call centre. You can reach the team at [email protected] or +1 (437) 837-2406; the Canadian head office is at 30 Adelaide St. East, 12th Floor, Toronto.
