Supporting Canadian businesses since 1986
A journey that began with a singular ambition
Essex Lease was founded with a singular ambition: to make business financing more personal and tailored to each company’s specific needs. We grew tired of seeing Canadian businesses face the same old problems—complex contracts, unfair terms, and hidden fees, all wrapped up in a lack of transparency that ensures the lender can keep their cards close to their chest.
We set out to dismantle these issues one by one, prioritizing transparent agreements, flexible terms, and a credit assessment process that looks beyond financial statements. Now, we’re proud to say we’ve supported over 5,500 Canadians with our services. And we’re not slowing down anytime soon.
