Outlay was founded by operators from Canadian trade finance, fintech and e-commerce logistics. We started it because good businesses kept getting the wrong capital — or none at all.
Banks read your bank statement. We read your business.
Canadian small businesses are underserved by traditional lenders. Banks lean on blunt bank-statement analysis and rigid credit boxes. Equity investors want a piece of your company. Everything in between is fragmented and hard to compare.
Outlay sits in the middle. We work with the platforms businesses already use — logistics, commerce and supply partners — to understand how a business actually performs, then match it with the right non-dilutive capital from our own balance sheet or our lender network.
We started with Canadian e-commerce merchants, and we’re expanding to serve businesses across every industry.
The right product for the need, even if it’s not ours.
Every offer spelled out in plain language, side by side.
A named contact who picks up the phone.
We grow by making our partners look good.
