How to get started with TELP

  1. Step 1

    Talk to your financial institution

    Ask your lender if TELP is a good fit for your financing needs. If your financial institution doesn’t offer TELP, they can still work with EDC to find other ways to support your growth.

  2. Step 2

    Work with your financial institution to complete the application

    TELP is delivered by approved financial institutions, making it easier to apply and faster to process.

  3. Step 3

    Grow your business

    Once your application is approved, you can access your funds through your financial institution.
