Business lines of credit in Manitoba

Manitoba licenses consumer credit, so a business line of credit signed there follows provincial rules on disclosure and cost, on top of whatever the lender requires.

The Manitoba version of the business line of credit page exists because provincial rules apply to the contract wherever the lender is based.

What this product does

Business lines of credit: A revolving operating limit for a business, and why it behaves differently from a term loan.

A business line of credit is a revolving operating limit, drawn and repaid as working capital moves.

Security may be taken over business assets, receivables or the owner's property.

A personal guarantee puts the owner behind the debt if the business cannot pay.
