Their dream reno isn't dead — the money's in their equity.

Half your lost contracts die at 'we can't afford it right now.' Most of those clients own homes with six figures of equity. We unlock it — and when it's your own cash flow that's choked between draws, holdbacks, and unsold inventory, we fund you too. Builders sit at the centre of a machine of trades, suppliers, and buyers; one financing partner keeps the whole thing turning.

How we get your contracts signed

Complex files, handled properly.

🔨

Refinance-plus-improvements

Renovation costs rolled into the client's mortgage at mortgage rates — funds advanced as your work completes, based on the as-improved value.

🏠

Purchase Plus Improvements

Buyers roll your renovation quote into their purchase mortgage — so the reno is funded before they even move in, with your quote as part of the approval.

💳

HELOCs & private seconds for renos

When speed matters or the first mortgage shouldn't be touched: equity lines and second mortgages that fund your contract in weeks.

🏗️

Construction draw financing

For your custom-build clients: progress-draw construction mortgages with lenders who fund reliably — so your draws arrive when the work does.

🚑

Completion & rescue capital

Client ran out of money mid-project? Private completion financing that gets the project finished and your invoices paid — instead of a lien fight.

🏘️

Financing for your own builds

Spec-build construction loans for your inventory homes, plus fast financing lanes for the buyers of your finished product.

💵

Working capital when you're choked

Equity in your home, shop, or unsold inventory converted into working capital — payroll covered, materials ordered, holdbacks bridged, projects moving.

⚙️

The whole machine turns

Your subs, suppliers, and buyers hit money walls too. One financing relationship at the centre keeps every trade on your projects paid and every deal closing.

Relationship protection

How we protect your client relationship.

🤝

Your client stays your client

We broker mortgages — nothing else. No investments, no insurance, no competing services. Every file comes back to you stronger.

🔍

You stay in the loop

With client consent, you see the proposed structure before it's submitted — leverage, rate, term, and exit — at whatever level of detail you choose.

📋

Documentation done properly

Files built to be defensible — complete, consistent, and explainable to a lender, CRA, or a court if it ever comes to that.

Process

What a referral looks like.

1

Intro call (15 min)

You outline the situation — no names needed. We tell you honestly whether we can add value and what the structure could look like.

2

Client conversation

We meet your client, gather documents, and keep you copied at the level of detail you choose.

3

Structure review

Before submission you see the proposed structure and can flag legal, tax, or timing implications we should route around.

4

Funding & handback

The deal funds, you receive a closing summary for your file, and the client returns to you for everything else.

Partner FAQ

Questions partners actually ask.

My client wants a $150K renovation but has no cash. What are the real options?+

If they have equity: a refinance-plus-improvements at mortgage rates (funds released on completion), a HELOC for staged work, or a private second when timing is tight. We tell them — and you — which lane fits within a couple of days of seeing the numbers.

We're mid-project and the client's money ran out. Can this be saved?+

Usually, yes — private completion capital is designed for exactly this. It funds against the as-complete value, pays the outstanding and remaining work, and beats the alternative for everyone: you get paid, they get a finished project, nobody starts the lien process.

What about when it's us — the builder — who's choked for cash?+

That's half the builder files we run. Equity in spec inventory, your shop, or your own home converts to working capital in weeks; holdback receivables can be bridged; and stalled projects get completion financing. Being both the client and the referral partner is completely normal here.

Do you pay referral fees?+

Where regulations allow and with full disclosure to the client, referral arrangements are available — though many of our partners decline them to preserve independence. Either way works, and the client is told either way.

Can you work with clients outside BC and Alberta?+

Our licences cover BC and Alberta. Files in Ontario and other provinces run through our national access desk and underwriting partners — one point of contact, same standards.
