Accelerating Indigenous business in southern Ontario
AIC's goal is to help Indigenous entrepreneurs find sources of financing for their business projects.
Aboriginal Impact Capital (AIC) is a joint-effort of four participating Aboriginal Financial Institutions (AFIs).
AFIs offer loans and other financing and services in support of Indigenous business growth.
AIC delivers the Aboriginal Business Financing Program (ABFP), that supplements client equity and commercial financing, including loans secured from AIC's participating AFIs.
AIC funding is contigent on consultations and approval from, your AFI.
First Step: Contact your AFI
Participating AFIs
Aboriginal Financial Institutions (AFIs) are the key source of loans and other financing in support of Indigenous business growth.
Funding for capital costs (i.e equipment) and working capital needs (i.e. startup operating costs), is sourced primarily from loans and other other commercial financing that supplement a client cash equity and other funding.
AIC works with your AFI
AIC recommends every client first establish a relationship with their local Aboriginal Financial Institution (AFI).
AFIs offer business loans and other programs, plus, they can make recommendations on AIC non-repayable contributions (if available).
Even if you don't access AFI financing now, AIC needs the concurrence or recommendation of your AFI to provide a contribution to your project and business.
By understanding your business, your local AFI will be positioned to help you grow your business, either now and/or in the future.
If your project is not eligible, AIC will attempt to path find for alternative/additional financing sources.
If you are unsure which AFI to contact, we can help.

How do we help?
AIC Funding/Path-finding
With the help of the four (4) participating AFIs, AIC focuses on delivery of the Aboriginal Business Financing Program (ABFP) in support of Indigenous business growth in southern Ontario.
Formerly known as ABC (Aboriginal Business Canada), ABFP enhances access to AFI financing and ultimately helps reduce risks and costs. AFIs make recommendations on, and are consulting with regards to, ABFP contributions.
AIC also helps entrepreneurs and organizations path-find to potential alternate financing or funding sources.
ABFP awaiting renewal
Although AIC's ABFP funding terminated as of March 31, 2022, AIC and its participating AFIs are anticipating renewal.
We continue to identify new projects with anticipation of additional future funding and programs.
