If you are like 80% of social entrepreneurs in Ontario, access to capital is the major barrier to your success.
It can be pretty frustrating. You know that if you were a traditional business, you would have access to business loans. And if you were a charity, you’d be able to apply to foundations. But because you believe it is possible to make meaningful profit while also putting people and planet first, both types of support are out of reach.
The DUCA Impact Lab has a solution! They have partnered with FundThrough to offer an innovative, low cost working capital financing opportunity designed specifically for underbanked entrepreneurs and social enterprises. We are helping DUCA bring that solution to CSI! Wonder if your social enterprise could benefit? You are invited to a free cash flow consultation where you can find out! The next session is:

About DUCA: DUCA is a vibrant credit union that was started in 1954 by a group of new Canadians who didn’t have access to the mainstream banking system. As immigrants, they didn’t fit the conventional wisdom of the time of what a good banking customer looked like. So they established a financial co-operative that would work on behalf of its Members.
