How do I increase the investment limit of my corporate lender account?

Your corporate Lending Loop account will initially be considered a non-eligible investor and have an investment limit of $10,000 of outstanding principal over a rolling 12 month period. If you wish to increase the investment limit of your corporate lender account please reach out to your Dealing Representative, who will determine if the corporation meets the requirements. The requirements for each investor type are listed at the bottom of this article.

In addition to the requirements, Lending Loop will be required to gather documentation in order to confirm that the income of the corporation/persons meets the necessary requirements. In order to provide sufficient proof that the corporation meets the requirements, you will be required to provide financial statements that have been prepared by a third-party accountant of the corporation’s most recent fiscal year. For the personal requirements we accept the following documents:

Notice of personal tax assessment or T4 last 2 years (2017, 2018) and recent pay stub
Balance sheet certified by an independent accountant
Letter from an independent account or legal counsel as to whether you meet the income or financial asset requirements required to be considered at your desired investor class. Example templates available for download for accredited investors or eligible investors.
