Keep your business running smoothly.

From start-ups to established companies, businesses use financing to achieve their goals.

Even businesses that have enough capital for major investments sometimes opt for a loan or credit line instead. Why? This leaves them with cash to cover unexpected expenses and exploit new opportunities.

At RBC, we understand that sometimes, even the best-run businesses are susceptible to cash flow fluctuations and require short-term financing to keep operations running smoothly. Our relationship managers are able to deliver customized, flexible credit solutions in the timeframe best suited to your needs.

It is money raised for a specific self-contained venture such as construction.

Successful bidders often require a performance guarantee for a percentage of the contract amount. RBC enables you to meet your contract requirements and assures your client of your ability to perform.

To ensure that suppliers submit serious offers, tenders often call for up-front cash deposits or irrevocable guarantees. With an RBC bid guarantee, you can establish your credibility without tying up your cash.

If you require an advance payment from your client, an RBC guarantee assures the client that their advance will be repaid by RBC if you fail to meet your contractual obligations.
