Vancouver, BC — In today’s fast-evolving financing environment, GTFSolutions has unveiled a robust strategic framework designed to support brokers who want to help their clients access diverse, flexible, and timely business capital.
As non-bank lending is projected to surpass $3 trillion globally by 2028, brokers now play a critical role in guiding entrepreneurs, startups, and established businesses toward alternative financing options beyond traditional bank loans.
GTFSolutions’ newly released guide, “Exploring Alternative Financing Sources for Business Clients: A Broker’s Toolkit,” is essential for professionals seeking to expand their offerings.
The guide covers various financing structures, including Standby Letters of Credit (SBLCS), private debt, peer-to-peer lending, crowdfunding, angel investment, venture capital, and other non-traditional financial vehicles.
“We recognize that brokers are the front line of capital sourcing. Our goal is to provide them with tools that secure funding for their clients and build credibility and long-term trust,” said Robert Wilson, Head of Sales and Marketing at GTFSolutions.
A Broker’s Opportunity in a New Lending Landscape
Traditional bank loans dominate business financing but are increasingly inaccessible to small and mid-sized businesses, especially in technology, startups, export, and innovation.
Brokers who understand alternative lending structures can now become consultative, offering solutions where banks often say “no.”
GTFSolutions equips brokers with a turnkey solution suite and advisory support to:
- Evaluate client profiles for alternative financing readiness
- Recommend optimal capital structures
- Source financial instruments through GTFS’ global lender network
- Package, present, and negotiate funding on behalf of clients
“By enabling brokers to present advanced financing mechanisms like SBLCS or revenue-based lending, we elevate their role from introducers to strategic advisors,” said Emily Johnson, Senior Credit Analyst at GTFSolutions.
Case Study: Broker Helps Export Client Close a Multi-Million Dollar Deal Using an SBLC
A Canadian broker recently partnered with GTFSolutions to assist a commercial equipment exporter facing international contract delays due to payment risk concerns from a buyer in the Philippines.
The broker engaged GTFS’s SBLC services, which enabled the issuance of a $2 million Standby Letter of Credit from a European bank.
With the SBLC in place, the buyer’s concerns were resolved, and the deal closed. The broker earned a generous success fee and expanded their portfolio by adding SBLC advisory.
“Brokers love SBLCS because they’re versatile, credible, and open doors that would otherwise remain closed,” explained Willard Dunne, GTFSolutions’ Head of Operations.
Broker-Focused Financing Options for Client Success
The GTFSolutions guide details the full range of alternative financing instruments available to brokers for matching to client needs:
- Standby Letters of Credit (SBLCS)
Used for trade deals, real estate contracts, and large-scale service agreements. SBLCS enhances client credibility and eliminates counterparty risk, perfect for cross-border deals.
- Private Debt & Revenue-Based Financing
This is great for high-growth businesses with irregular cash flows. Brokers can offer flexible repayment schedules tailored to client revenue projections.
- Angel Investment & Venture Capital
Startups and innovation-driven companies can benefit from equity-based investment. Brokers receive placement fees or equity shares for successful matches.
- Invoice Factoring & Accounts Receivable Financing
Ideal for clients with substantial outstanding invoices. Brokers can connect them with factoring firms to unlock working capital quickly.
- Crowdfunding Strategy Support
GTFSolutions offers campaign planning services for brokers whose clients launch products or services with public-facing appeal.
- Peer-to-Peer Lending Platforms
GTFSolutions partners with vetted P2P lenders where brokers can place small to mid-ticket deals with faster approval timelines than traditional lenders.
Case Study: Broker Uses Crowdfunding Model to Help Tech Client Launch and Scale
A boutique financial consultant in Montreal approached GTFSolutions for support on a crowdfunding initiative for a green-tech startup client.
The client’s concept lacked hard assets but had a compelling product. GTFSolutions helped the broker structure a dual-platform campaign on Kickstarter and Indiegogo.
With strong storytelling, video production, and backer incentives crafted by GTFS’ marketing team, the campaign raised $850,000 in 12 weeks.
The broker earned both a service retainer and bonus equity. The startup landed distribution through a major retailer, and the broker now offers crowdfunding advisory as a standard service.
Strategic Partnership Model for Brokers
GTFSolutions offers brokers:
- White-label services to present under their brand

Risk Awareness: Helping Brokers Educate Clients
Alternative financing comes with distinct benefits, but also requires informed guidance. Brokers using GTFS’ resources can help clients navigate:
- Equity dilution risks in venture and angel deals
- Higher borrowing costs in private debt markets
- Complex term sheets and governance-sharing implications
- Compliance risks in international SBLC transactions
GTFSolutions provides legal and financial review services to all broker-introduced deals, ensuring transparency and credibility.
Broker-Driven Growth in Niche Industries
Specific industries—biotech, agri-tech, manufacturing, logistics, export/import, and fintech startups—often don’t qualify for traditional lending but are excellent candidates for alternative finance. Brokers working with these clients can:
- Use intellectual property financing for innovation-based companies
- Tap supplier financing for retail and distribution networks
- Access grant navigation services for government-supported sectors
Brokers gain a potent edge by aligning with GTFSolutions to serve these verticals.
