A massive thank you to everyone who joined us at our Capitally Small Business Month events last month across Mississauga, Richmond Hill, Edmonton, and Calgary! Your energy, ideas, and growth dedication made each event unforgettable.
Why We Hold These Events
October is Small Business Month when Canada celebrates its entrepreneurs’ impact. Born from “BDC Small Business Week” by the Business Development Bank of Canada, these events have, for over 45 years, recognized the contributions of small businesses across the country. For us at Capitally, Small Business Month is about coming together to empower you and your clients—the creative minds and risk-takers who drive Canada’s economy forward.
Small Business by the Numbers
It’s often said, but it’s true: small businesses power our economy. They make up 98% of all companies in Canada and employ over 63% of the private workforce, creating jobs and growth in every sector. And here’s an impressive stat: SMEs contribute about 53% of our national GDP. Each of you has a stake in shaping our future and making Canada a hub of entrepreneurial spirit and innovation
Event Highlights – And a Special Thanks
Jonathan Brindley, Capitally’s Founder, shared his inspiring journey of becoming Capitally—an independent, reimagined alternative financing partner dedicated to helping entrepreneurs “Do More, Be More, Dream More.” Jonathan also discussed Capitally’s guiding principles, which were shaped by Simon Sinek’s philosophy. Starting with “Why” allows us to focus on what truly matters—helping you—and our clients—unlock growth, pursue bigger goals, and overcome obstacles along the way.
It’s your shared passion and openness that made these discussions so meaningful. To all of you who took the time to attend, ask questions, and connect with us, thank you for being the heart of our events.
A New Solution Announced: Supply Chain Finance (SCF)
At the events, Jonathan was thrilled to introduce our latest financing solution—Supply Chain Finance (SCF). SCF allows businesses like yours or your clients to act fast, secure inventory, or capture bulk purchase discounts while keeping cash flow steady. With SCF, you can seize every opportunity without sacrificing the working capital that powers your day-to-day. It’s perfect for businesses with solid credit looking for a reliable financing option that adapts to their needs.
