Lending criteria

What we lend


Highcrest considers every type of private loan we can lawfully underwrite: personal, business, and real-estate-secured. Ontario mortgages are submitted through a licensed mortgage brokerage. Highcrest is the prospective lender — not the brokerage.

Unsecured personal loans

Simple volume product — relationship-based personal lending tailored to circumstances, not a consumer rate-shop.

  • Case-by-case structuring
  • Repayment capacity required
  • Subject to Canadian interest and disclosure rules; counsel reviews fee stacks before any commitment
  • Discreet, direct principal review

Unsecured business loans

Working capital and growth financing for established businesses — cash flow, character, and exit.

  • Operating and growth uses
  • PPSA personal-property security may be considered where appropriate (equipment, vehicles, inventory, receivables) — not real-estate mortgages
  • Structured as unsecured credit; PPSA personal-property security may apply where appropriate
  • Direct principal dialogue

Real-Estate-Secured Business Financing

Highcrest Private Capital may consider business financing secured by commercial, residential or other real property. Highcrest acts as a prospective lender and is not a mortgage brokerage. Every Ontario mortgage transaction is submitted, arranged and processed through a duly licensed mortgage brokerage or another entity exempt from the applicable licensing requirement. The responsible brokerage and its licensing information will be identified before the formal mortgage application proceeds. All financing is subject to underwriting, property valuation, legal review and final approval.

We do not publish rate tables, guarantee approval, or claim licences we do not hold. Indicative outlines, when provided separately, are not commitments to lend.

FAQ

Private lending, answered plainly


Are you FSRA / MBLAA licensed?

Not as a mortgage brokerage. Highcrest Private Capital is founder-funded and is not presently licensed under Ontario’s MBLAA or by FSRA as a brokerage. Personal and business loans do not require that licence. Mortgages proceed through a licensed brokerage while Highcrest acts as lender.

Do you offer mortgages today?

Every Ontario mortgage transaction is submitted, arranged and processed through a licensed mortgage brokerage. The responsible brokerage will be identified before the formal mortgage application proceeds.

Do you still offer personal loans?

Yes. Personal loans, business loans, and real-estate-secured financing are all part of the book. Structure depends on the file and on what the law permits.

Do you publish rates or guarantee approval?

No. We do not publish rate tables or promise approval. Terms depend on the opportunity, risk, and documentation.

Where do you lend?
