| x : suppressed to meet the confidentiality requirements of the Statistics Act Note: All data are as at December 31. More detailed statistics on suppliers of business financing are available (free) online at the SME Financial Data Initiative website. 1. All financing suppliers includes debt outstanding owed to suppliers shown in the table, i.e., domestic banks, other banks, credit unions and caisses populaires, and finance companies, as well as debt owed to suppliers not shown, i.e., portfolio managers, venture capital companies, financial funds, and insurance and leasing companies. 2. Credit unions and caisses populaires. 3. Total debt outstanding is displayed by four classification variables: authorization level; debt instrument type; province/territory; and industry. All add to the same total. 4. Authorization level is the maximum amount a client is permitted to borrow. 5. Term instruments, such as term loans and mortgage loans, generally cover longer periods of time and involve periodic repayment of both principal and interest. 6. Operating instruments, such as lines of credit and credit cards, are used for the day to day operations of a business and entail non-periodic repayments. 7. Knowledge-based industries are defined as knowledge producers (science and technology-based firms) and high-knowledge users (business innovators and large scale knowledge user firms). Typically, firms involved in pharmaceuticals, health biotechnology, development of new materials, telecommunications, information technology, software design, medical equipment manufacturing and avionics are considered to be knowledge-based industries. These industries represent a subset of the industries listed in the table above. Source: Statistics Canada, Survey of Suppliers of Business Financing. Last modified: 2009-12-03. | |||||
