It’s no secret: Scoring millions of dollars in loans for your already successful business is not a simple feat.

For starters, you’ll have to demonstrate to banks a number of different tasks – impeccably. When contending for a loan you’ll have to understand how the money will be used and how it will affect both cash flow and growth. Not only this, but you’ll need to have a solid business plan that demonstrates you have a proven track record of success.

But there’s another issue you may not have considered. With so many businesses in BC competing for loans, how do you get noticed?

One variable you probably haven’t considered is winning an award. Although winning one won’t make a difference to banks, it will make you visible to them. And luckily, there’s a new list in town that could help set you apart from competitors: The 50 Most Fundable BC Businesses in 2018.

Even though your business is already successful, you may feel overwhelmed by the complicated process of trying to get a loan. But on a positive note, you can easily apply for this list that only 50 businesses will qualify for.
