Express Business Funding Funds $25.4MM in the 1st Quarter
June 9, 2025 - Express Business Funding (EBF) launched 2025 with a strong $25.4 million in new funding deployed to support Canadian businesses across diverse sectors, including manufacturing, construction, wholesale and distribution. This robust start highlights EBF’s role in delivering flexible financing solutions that empower growth and stability.
Q1 featured a mix of factoring facilities, asset-based lending (ABL), and revolving credit lines. A notable $3.5 million factoring facility supported a national distributor’s expansion, while a $1.4 million ABL leveraged receivables and inventory to provide critical working capital. Smaller deals, like a $150,000 revolving credit facility, addressed the unique needs of a seasonal operation.
Businesses that faced lengthy payment terms or experienced rapid growth that exceeded internal cash flows were the main drivers of factoring in Q1. These solutions provided immediate liquidity, enabling clients to scale without delay. ABL also gained traction, offering larger, structured financing for companies with complex needs, often serving as a lifeline to sustain operations.
EBF’s collaborative approach with clients ensured capital was deployed swiftly and effectively. As economic challenges persist, EBF remains committed to bridging the gap for businesses seeking agile, non-traditional financing solutions.
“We’re proud to start the year by delivering meaningful capital solutions that directly address the real-world challenges our clients face,” said Gareth Bird, Chief Growth Officer at Express Business Funding. “In times of uncertainty or rapid expansion, access to the right financing at the right time is imperative, and that’s exactly what we strive to provide.”
