Overview

Financing That Keeps Canada Connected

Diamond Willow structured an $8 million equipment term loan that turned persistent cash burn into an operating runway.

The borrower connects rural communities and enterprises with high-speed fiber-optic cable, enabling local economies to enjoy the benefits of high-speed internet at reasonable prices. Backed by a large international institutional investor, the company was accelerating a capital-intensive build prior to being a fit for traditional banking. The CFO asked Diamond Willow to turn their equipment into funding so crews could keep working and projects stayed on schedule.
