TORONTO — Scotiabank is announcing the availability of the Export Development Canada (EDC) Business Credit Availability Program (BCAP) for Scotiabank clients.
“Having addressed the needs of small business firms through Canada Emergency Business Account (CEBA) funding, the EDC BCAP program allows us to deliver much needed relief to medium-sized and larger Canadian firms, providing working capital through access to a short-term financing solution on flexible terms,” said Dan Rees, group head of Canadian Banking for Scotiabank, in a statement
Launching the EDC BCAP extends Scotiabank’s support for Canadian businesses affected by COVID-19, which already include a number of relief measures including the online application for the CEBA for small businesses. Existing Scotiabank Canadian Business Banking clients can explore financing options to provide businesses with working capital for short-term liquidity.
It’s structured as a one-year operating credit or cash flow term loan of up to $6.25 million, with 80% guaranteed by EDC.
