Woveo and BDC launch $10M AI-driven microloans of up to $25K for Canadian entrepreneurs

Woveo, an AI-powered fintech platform, and the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC) have launched a $10 million lending programme offering microloans of up to $25,000 to underserved entrepreneurs across Canada, excluding Quebec. Woveo's AI-assisted underwriting combines real-time cash-flow data, credit bureau information, business-performance signals, and "social collateral." The aim is to give a fuller picture of creditworthiness than traditional metrics. The move follows a drop in the share of new Canadian business lending going to small and medium-sized businesses, from 16% in 2011 to 5.8% in 2024, according to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. Woveo has facilitated more than 1,200 loans, with a 98% repayment rate.
