You’ve done everything right.
You’ve built a business with grit and resilience. You’ve made tough calls, stayed agile, and kept your people employed even when the global economy threw its worst at you.
But now, as U.S. tariffs continue to strain Canada’s key industries like steel, aluminum, and automotive, it’s not just a policy issue. It’s personal. Your cash flow is tighter. Margins are vanishing. And you’re wondering how long you can keep absorbing the pressure without making cuts that hurt your future.
This is the moment when many business owners feel backed into a corner.
It’s also the moment when having the right financial guide can make all the difference.
When International Policy Disrupts Local Business
The Canadian government has introduced programs such as the Protect Ontario Financing Program and the federal LETL facility to support businesses directly impacted by U.S. Section 232 tariffs. Billions of dollars in capital have been allocated to companies that serve Ontario’s industrial base and need immediate financial breathing room.
But just because the capital is available doesn’t mean it’s easy to access.
Government lending is rarely simple. The eligibility rules, the documentation, the timelines—it’s a lot. Especially when you’re already focused on keeping operations moving and payroll met.
Many good businesses end up missing out. Not because they don’t qualify, but because the path forward feels unclear.
Clarity Is More Valuable Than Capital Right Now
At Prime Capital, we offer more than funding. We offer a financial strategy that makes sense for where your business is today and where you want to take it tomorrow.
When business owners come to us in the middle of uncertainty, we don’t start with numbers. We start with the story. We ask questions like:
What are you trying to protect right now?
What kind of growth are you still aiming for?
Where do you feel stuck?
Once we understand your needs and pressures, we design a customized financing solution that aligns with your goals—not just a generic loan package. Our expertise with government-backed programs means we can translate complicated eligibility requirements into simple next steps. And we stay with you through every stage, from first call to funding approval.
What Programs Are Available and Why They Matter
The Protect Ontario Financing Program offers up to one billion dollars in support for businesses in tariff-affected sectors. These term loans are designed to help companies preserve jobs, invest in operations, and strengthen long-term stability. Many businesses may qualify even if they are already using other federal or provincial support measures.
For larger organizations, the LETL facility provides funding starting at sixty million dollars. This program is tailored for companies with annual revenues of three hundred million or more, and is intended to provide continuity for major players in exposed industries.
There are also additional supports available in some cases, including tax deferral options, duty relief measures, and working capital assistance.
But the key is knowing which of these fits your specific business model and how to pursue them with confidence.
You Don’t Have to Navigate This Alone
Trying to interpret these programs on your own can be frustrating and time-consuming. Between applications, timelines, and compliance requirements, it often feels like more trouble than it’s worth.
That’s where Prime Capital steps in.
We don’t just point you to resources. We become your financial partner in the process. We help you evaluate your eligibility, prepare your documentation, and build a funding plan that aligns with your operational strategy.
We’ve worked with companies across manufacturing, logistics, and transportation that were ready to move forward but needed help cutting through the red tape. The relief came not just from securing funding, but from finally having a clear plan and someone they could trust to help execute it.
