Business Line of Credit for Expanding Childcare Operations

A well-established preschool operator in Vancouver needed strategic funding to open a brand-new childcare centre, responding to rising demand for quality early childhood education. Despite strong enrollment history and waitlists at their existing location, traditional lenders were hesitant—citing regulatory timelines, start-up build-out costs, and the specialized nature of childcare licensing.

With construction deadlines approaching and leasehold improvements underway, the client required fast, flexible working capital. A business line of credit provided the ideal solution to:

• Complete renovations and classroom build-outs

• Hire and train staff efficiently

• Purchase equipment and educational materials

• Maintain operations at the existing location without disruption

Syndicate Lending Corporation (SLC) structured a custom $1.3M business line of credit tailored for growth-stage operators navigating strict timelines, allowing the client to draw funds as needed and manage cash flow effectively throughout the expansion.

Financing Structure and Strategy

SLC strengthened the financing proposal by emphasizing the preschool’s proven enrollment demand, stable cash flow, and operational success. Detailed revenue projections, licensing milestones, and a phased rollout plan were presented to demonstrate low risk and long-term viability.

Through our curated lender network, we secured approval for a high-limit revolving facility, giving the preschool the flexibility to access capital as required—an essential feature of a business line of credit for expansion projects.

Outcome

The preschool successfully completed construction, secured licensing approvals, recruited staff, and launched its second location on schedule. The flexible business line of credit allowed the organization to:

• Execute essential renovations and classroom build-outs

• Purchase specialized educational equipment and materials

• Recruit and train staff ahead of opening

• Open with strong initial enrollment and community engagement

• Maintain operational stability at their original site

The new centre quickly reached high enrollment levels, strengthening the preschool’s community presence and ensuring long-term revenue stability. With SLC’s tailored childcare financing, the client expanded confidently, met regulatory deadlines, and extended their mission to serve more families.
