We started Northfieldhub because traditional financing felt broken. Too many good projects were getting lost in automated systems. Too many business owners were hitting walls with lenders who never actually understood what they were trying to build.
That disconnect bothered us. So we created something different—a financing partner that actually takes time to understand your vision and finds capital sources that align with your specific project needs.
Back in early 2020, we were just three people with finance backgrounds who kept seeing the same problem. Small to mid-size projects with solid fundamentals couldn't get financing because they didn't fit neat little boxes. We figured we could do better by actually listening first.
Instead of building technology platforms, we spent years building relationships with capital sources who valued the same things we did—understanding the full picture of a project, not just checking standardized metrics. These partnerships became our foundation.
Every client taught us something. We learned when to push for better terms, when to advise waiting, and how to structure deals that actually work long-term. By 2023, we'd developed a consultation process that consistently matched projects with appropriate financing.
We tell you what financing is realistically available for your situation. If your timing isn't right or your project needs adjustment before approaching lenders, we'll say so. It's not helpful to anyone when we pretend otherwise.
Numbers tell part of the story, but understanding your industry challenges, market position, and operational realities matters just as much. We spend time learning your business context so we can present your project effectively to potential capital sources.
Quick financing that creates problems six months later doesn't help anyone. We focus on finding capital partnerships that support your project through its full development cycle, not just getting to a closing table.
Financing negotiations involve real complexity. We guide you through documentation requirements, help you understand what lenders are actually asking for, and work to structure terms that make sense for how your project will actually generate returns.
Over the past few years, we've worked with manufacturing expansions, commercial real estate developments, technology infrastructure projects, and service business growth initiatives across Manitoba and surrounding provinces.
Each project taught us something about how different capital sources evaluate opportunities. We learned which lenders understand seasonal cash flow variations, which ones value long-term customer contracts, and which ones have appetite for businesses in transition.
That accumulated knowledge helps us position your project more effectively. We know what questions you'll face, what documentation will strengthen your case, and which financing sources are most likely to understand your specific situation.
It's not magic—it's just experience applied thoughtfully to help you navigate a complicated process with better information and realistic expectations.
If you have a project that needs financing and you want someone who will take time to understand it properly before approaching potential lenders, let's talk. We can usually tell you within one conversation whether we can help and what the realistic path forward looks like.
