About Nicolas Lescalier — U.S. Business Financing Specialist

I’m Nicolas Lescalier, a funding manager dedicated to helping U.S. entrepreneurs secure the capital they need to succeed. Born in France and based in Toronto, I spent my early career in commercial finance before focusing on alternative lending for small and mid‑sized businesses. I bridge the gap between Canadian efficiency and U.S. market know‑how, offering clients the best of both worlds.

My journey

My passion for business finance began at university, where I studied economics and realized how access to capital can transform lives. After graduation I worked as a broker at a Manhattan‑based merchant cash advance company, gaining firsthand experience in the U.S. lending landscape. In 2020 I founded my own consultancy, helping businesses obtain funding through MCAs, term loans, bridge loans and commercial real estate financing.

Why I focus on U.S. businesses

The United States is home to millions of entrepreneurs with incredible ideas and drive. Yet many are underserved by traditional banks. The 2008 financial crisis tightened credit standards, and recent economic turbulence has made banks even more conservative. By focusing on the U.S. market, I can offer alternative financing solutions that empower entrepreneurs from New York to California to pursue growth without unnecessary delays.

My mission and values

• Transparency: I believe in clear, honest communication. My clients receive full disclosure of fees, terms and obligations.
• Speed: Time is money. I streamline the application process and leverage my network to deliver funding quickly【324539963251002†L615-L623】.
• Customized solutions: Every business is unique. I tailor financing strategies to match cash‑flow cycles, growth goals and risk tolerance.
• Education: I provide resources and guidance so clients understand their options and make informed decisions. Visit the U.S. SMB Funding Guide to learn more.

Beyond finance

When I’m not working on deals, I enjoy soccer (a loyal Olympique de Marseille supporter), reading about history and exploring Toronto’s vibrant neighborhoods. I believe that a balanced life makes for better decision‑making and a deeper connection with clients.
