The next move is yours with a small business loan
Loan offers are invite-only for eligible Square sellers outside Quebec. Check your Dashboard
Just an example.
Your current business picture matters most
Eligibility comes down to your unique business data. Take payments with Square, and our algorithm may create loan offers based on your Square sales, payment frequency and new and regular customers, among other criteria.
Customizable offers to match your vision
You know your business and your plans best, so it’s up to you: Choose an amount up to your max offer to get the right funding for your next big (or even small) idea.
Just run your business as usual – we’ll contact you when you’re eligible to apply.
Designed to be paid back with confidence
Based on the info we see through your Square sales patterns, we may send you a loan offer – choose the amount you can comfortably pay back.
You’ll have 18 months to pay off your loan in full. We just ask that you meet your minimum every 60 days.
Repay with your daily Square sales
The amount you repay changes day to day, because it’s based on a percentage of your daily Square sales. Pay a little more on days sales are up – and less when it’s slow. And you’ll never make payments when you’re closed.

“For a small business who hasn’t been open for more than two years, to have access to funding in a simple, easy way, from a company like Square, who can clearly see what’s coming in is a game changer.”
“Accepting a loan doesn’t have to be scary. The repayment terms are so simple. Everything is laid out. There’s no surprises. It didn’t take longer than having a cup of coffee to apply and know what I was doing.”

Taking out a loan is a big decision and you may have questions
Business loans are a great way to fund your next big (or small) idea. You can use a business loan to buy inventory, get new supplies, purchase equipment and merchandise, or even pay the bills – anything your business may need.
First, you must take payments through Square to be eligible.
With Square Loans, the process of getting a small business loan is simple and fast from start to finish. Where banks require business plans, audited financial statements and pages and pages of paperwork to apply for a loan, Square is different. We assess your payments data and then, if you’re eligible, make a proactive loan offer based on your unique business activity.
Just decide how much you want to borrow up to the offer amount, review your details and accept the terms and conditions. We’ll let you know within a couple of business days if you’re approved (most applications are approved on the spot). The money is then automatically deposited into your linked bank account. You’ll have the money to spend as soon as the next business day.
Yes. When you take payments with Square, you get access to exciting tools to help grow your business. We assess the payments data for your business to determine if you’re eligible for a loan. When you become eligible, we’ll reach out with a loan offer.
It depends on the type, volume and frequency of payments you take with Square. When you qualify, we will make you an offer – choose to borrow as much or as little as you like up to your maximum offer amount.
Once you’ve applied we’ll do some final checks before letting you know if you’re approved. This should take a couple of days at the most (most applications are approved on the spot). The money will be deposited in your account as soon as the next business day, if approved.
We don’t charge an interest rate when you take out a loan. You pay one, fixed fee over the life of the loan. Once you’ve applied for your loan, that fee is set in stone – you won’t pay a cent more no matter how long it takes you to repay your balance.
Square Loans do not require collateral. This means that you won’t need to put up your house, car or other assets as a guarantee that you’ll repay us.
Instead of monthly repayments like typical bank loans, you’ll repay your loan balance with a fixed percentage of your sales each day. That means on slow days you repay less, and when your business is closed, you won’t make repayments at all. We just ask that a minimum of 1/18 of the initial balance must be repaid every 60 days to help you stay on track.
Payments, loans and more – all working together seamlessly
All loans are issued by Square Canada, Inc. Actual fee depends upon payment card processing history, loan amount and other eligibility factors. A minimum payment of 1/18th of the initial loan balance is required every 60 days and full loan repayment is required within 18 months. Offer eligibility is not guaranteed. All loans are subject to approval. Terms and conditions apply.
