We assist lenders who provide financing to Aboriginal Canadians, advising them how best to secure their loans against assets, on and off reserve, whether held by an Aboriginal group directly or through business structures such as a company, a joint venture, a trust or a partnership.
Since we also have extensive experience helping Aboriginal groups structure their businesses, both on and off reserve, we can advise such lenders how to structure their financing arrangements with Aboriginal customers to minimize the tax impact, which can give those lenders a competitive advantage in soliciting Aboriginal business.
