Thanksgiving is a time to think about what really matters—family, community, and the blessings we have in life and work. At Express Business Funding (EBF), we value resilience and dedication. We also appreciate the strong relationships we have built with Canadian SMEs, partners, and colleagues over the years.
Whether you’re in manufacturing, services, or retail, this time of year offers a welcome pause to appreciate the fruits of our hard work—the “bountiful harvests” of progress, growth, and connection.
A Look Back: What Thanksgiving Means Today
Historically, Canadian Thanksgiving began as a celebration of safe journeys and abundant harvests. While most of us no longer work the fields, we still experience harvests in the form of business milestones, stronger customer relationships, and a thriving team culture.
At EBF, we see harvests in every new client success story, every financing solution that helps a business unlock cash flow, and every employee who goes the extra mile to ensure things run smoothly. These modern-day blessings are worth celebrating.
Honoring Our People: Clients, Employees, and Community
Our first and most heartfelt thanks go to our loyal customers. Your trust in EBF allows us to do what we do best—provide flexible financing solutions that help businesses seize opportunities, manage challenges, and grow sustainably. You are the heartbeat of our mission.
We are equally grateful for our exceptional team. From front-line advisors to the operations, finance, and administration staff behind the scenes, your dedication and hard work are unmatched. Your commitment to excellence, accuracy, and service makes EBF not just a place of work—but a community of purpose.
As CGO Gareth Bird puts it:
“As we gather around this Thanksgiving, we at Express Business Funding want to extend our deepest gratitude to all our incredible, hard-working employees. To our back-office team and those involved in operations and administration, you are the unsung heroes of EBF. Your dedication, attention to detail, and tireless effort ensure our company runs smoothly every day. We couldn’t do it without you.
We also want to take a moment to thank the public service workers who keep our community thriving. Your unwavering commitment to serving others is a true inspiration, and we are so grateful for the essential role you play in our lives.”
Community and Canadian Business Resilience
Thanksgiving is also a time to reflect on the strength of our Canadian businesses. Over the past few years, we’ve seen firsthand how family-owned businesses, startups, and local entrepreneurs adapt and persevere in uncertain times. From navigating tight cash flow to finding alternatives to traditional financing, your resilience and company culture is inspiring.
That’s why EBF is committed to being more than just a funding provider. We aim to be a partner in your journey, offering tailored solutions like invoice factoring, asset-based lending, and DIP financing that empower businesses to meet demand, bridge payment gaps, and maintain operational excellence that is focused on your business success.
Faith, Gratitude, and a Bigger Purpose
Finally, we would be remiss if we didn’t express our deepest gratitude to God, whose guidance and blessings are at the core of all we do. It is through His provision that we are able to serve, grow, and make a meaningful impact within our company, with our clients, and in our communities.
This Thanksgiving, we are thankful not just for success but for the values and people that matter. We appreciate integrity, service, teamwork, and faith.
🍂 From Our Family to Yours: Happy Thanksgiving
To our clients, partners, employees, and community: thank you. Your support, trust, and collaboration have shaped our journey, and we look forward to what the next year brings.
From all of us at Express Business Funding, we wish you a warm, joyful, and reflective Canadian Thanksgiving filled with peace, prosperity, and the people who matter most.
