Frequently Asked Questions
Does Glacier Financial lend its own capital?
No. We operate strictly as an advisory and matchmaking firm. We structure your file and introduce it to our network of over 120 institutional and private lenders to force market competition for your debt.
How quickly can capital be deployed?
Timelines vary by product. Merchant Cash Advances and private bridging loans can fund in as little as 48 hours. Complex commercial real estate facilities typically take 30 to 45 days to underwrite and close.
Are there upfront fees to submit a file?
Initial assessments are conducted without upfront fees. If we determine your file is viable for our network, we will outline any applicable advisory or brokerage fees before you sign an engagement letter.
Where is Glacier Financial located?
Our corporate advisory office is headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, but our lending network spans across North America.
