Very easy to work with once the client profile is built. Even though the interest is high compared to bank loans, the preview of any loan is accurate and transparent. No hidden fees or bureaucratic ho... See more

Got working capital

My small business has been growing a little too quick for our own good. Cashflow was tight and we were putting off deposits/payments of suppliers and subcontractors. We're now don't have that stress after being funded.

I was trying to get a hold of a previous representitive

I was trying to get a hold of a previous agent that helped in the past and found out he was no longer there in in his place Naime was there to handle our situation and he stayed with me the entire process to ensure we got what we needed and went above and beyond my expectations and that is something I'm really appreciative off. In the end we did get our finances and he did deliver as he said he would. I highly recommend him and congrats to his team for this to happen for us.

Jason from driven was very detailed on the product he sold us, we also had a very lengthy conversation in which he was very knowledgeable on the products and services the company offered. I look forward to continuing my business relationship with Driven

I was in need for financial cash flow in my business after I paid out CEBA loan this year 2024.
Struggling for the money for staffing which really stressed me out
It was such a blessing that DRIVEN showed up in my email. You have come to help me out when I needed you the most.

I'm grateful to know that you guys rescue small businesses like me.
Honestly first I doubted if it's real.
To my surprise, I got the funds that I needed. You have also given me a flexible payment to repay the funds. And I cannot be more thankful for this blessing, truly you have saved my business.

Hands down one of the best companies to do business with. I work with Jason, and he really keeps up on the information. He even periodically reaches out to check in to see if we need funding. I’ve had to twist arms for years to get funding in Canada. We recently got funded for 150,000 over six months to float a cash flow crunch caused by quadrupling our sales. The Canadian banks will let you down even when you tell them about your growth, but this team steps in fast to support you. Thank you Driven, you guys are doing great work in ensuring small businesses remain the backbone of our economy.

Another successful experience with Driven

Another successful experience with Driven, but this time I got lots of help and support from Camille Gagne
The way she dealt with my file makes me feel that she cares about my business more than anyone else.
Lots of thanks and appreciation to CAMILLE
and thanks for Driven for supporting the small business.

Great company!

I had the pleasure of working with Naime on securing our loans, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. Naime demonstrated a high level of professionalism throughout the entire process. He was not only thorough in finding us the best rates available but also ensured that everything was completed ahead of schedule. His dedication to his work and commitment to delivering excellent results were evident from start to finish. I would highly recommend Naime to anyone looking for a reliable and efficient professional to assist with their financial needs.

Driven is not a bank...thanks goodness!!

It is so nice to deal with Driven rather than with a Canadian bank. Things happen much faster with Driven and I didn't have to give financial statements, blood samples and my first born!!!
I got $100k+ in 1 day where my bank would have taken weeks. Jason made this transaction very easy.
