Food & Beverage Financing

The FCC provides financing and support to various types of businesses in the food industry such as abattoirs and meat processors, commercial bakeries, food and beverage equipment suppliers, food processors and manufacturers, frozen foods, blending and milling companies, grain and oilseed processing firms, packaging companies, seafood businesses, specialty food producers, wholesale and distribution companies, and wineries and distilleries. Specific eligibility criteria may vary, but in general, the FCC works with businesses at different stages including start-ups, mature enterprises, and those looking to grow or expand. The FCC provides financing for diversification, equipment and inventory, expansion and construction, real property, start-ups, mergers and acquisitions, stretch debt and cash flow requirements, syndicated lending, venture capital, and more.
