Businesses in Malton can use the same options as the rest of Mississauga: bank and credit union loans, the government-backed Canada Small Business Financing Program (up to $1.15 million), BDC loans and specialist lenders. Given what Malton is like, invoice factoring and equipment financing come up often. IDEA Mississauga offers free advice to businesses across Mississauga.

Doing business in Malton

A northeast neighbourhood next to the airport, with older detached homes and townhouses and a strong base of local businesses.

Prices are often lower than elsewhere in the city, which appeals to first-time buyers. The area’s many small businesses serve the nearby airport and industrial employers.

Financing for Malton businesses

With industrial and trade businesses nearby, equipment financing and lines of credit are common in Malton. Machinery and vehicles can secure the financing, which usually means better terms and keeps your line free for payroll and materials.

Malton’s shops, restaurants and services often finance renovations, fit-outs and seasonal inventory. A lease with enough time left on it makes lenders more comfortable funding improvements to the space.

Being close to major highways and the airport makes Malton a natural base for transport and distribution businesses. Invoice factoring helps when customers pay in 30 to 90 days, and trucks and trailers are strong collateral.
