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

Best for

What we like

  • $1,000 to $1,500,000 on 1 to 12 month terms
  • A published score floor of 560
  • The file starts from statements plus basics, no financials

Where it could improve

  • Construction faces its own tier: $1M in revenue and three years of history
  • Rates of 2% per month compound quickly on longer balances

Keep's construction carve-out

One industry, one higher bar

Construction businesses face their own tier: a million dollars or more in annual revenue and at least three years of operation, where every other industry clears at six months. The published criteria name no second exception.

Quebec is excluded at the entity level

The business must be registered in Canada excluding Quebec. The exclusion sits on the registration itself rather than on an address, so a Quebec entity operating elsewhere still falls outside it.
