Who is Provida

A Canadian Lender Built Around Your Business

Provida Financial is a Calgary-based private lender. For over 10 years we have provided receivables financing to companies that invoice other businesses and need their cash sooner than their customers pay.

We look at the quality of your invoices and the customers behind them, as well as your financial position. That lets us fund growing companies, businesses working through a change, and sectors that move faster than a traditional bank approval process.

You work directly with experienced lenders who make the decisions and stay involved for the life of your facility.

When businesses call us

Your Sales Are Strong, but Your Cash Is Tied Up in Invoices.

Most of our clients come to us at one of these moments.

1

Growing Faster than Your Balance Sheet

New contracts mean payroll and costs now, while payment arrives in 30+ days.

2

Working Through a Turnaround

Your receivables are sound even if your recent results are not. We fund against the invoices. In a formal restructuring, see our DIP and exit financing.

3

Managing a Cash Flow Gap

Seasonal swings, a large customer paying slowly, or a big order to fill before you get paid.
