Faster Deals. Stronger Connections: How DUCA Financial Services Credit Union Ltd. and PFG Financial Are Raising the Bar for Business Consultant and Accountant Partnerships

In today’s business financing landscape, speed matters. Clients expect quick answers, deals move fast, and business consultants, accountants, and other centres of influence need lending partners who can keep opportunities moving.

That’s where DUCA Financial Services Credit Union Ltd. (DUCA) is making an impact.

Through its partnership with PFG Financial, DUCA is providing business consultants and accountants with access to responsive financing solutions, streamlined decision-making, and a Business Banking team focused on helping clients secure the capital they need to grow.

How the Partnership Began

Like many successful partnerships, this one began with a simple conversation.

The two organizations first connected at the Canadian SME Small Business Show in May 2024. What started as networking quickly revealed a shared philosophy: put clients first, simplify the process, and focus on outcomes. That common ground laid the foundation for a partnership built on collaboration, communication, and results.

“At DUCA, we understand that business consultants and accountants need more than approvals, they need momentum,” says Robert Edwards, Senior Manager, Business Banking at DUCA. “Our goal is to be responsive and easy to work with, so our partners can move quickly, feel confident in referring opportunities, and deliver the best outcomes for their clients.”

Financing Built for Speed

That commitment is reflected in DUCA’s Business Loan solutions. Businesses can apply online in just minutes for unsecured business loans and lines of credit from $5,000 to $250,000, providing a simple and convenient way to access the capital needed to support growth initiatives, working capital requirements, expansion plans, and day-to-day operations. For financing needs exceeding $250,000, a DUCA Business Banking Advisor can be contacted directly to explore customized lending solutions. Combined with quick turnaround times and direct access to decision-makers, DUCA provides a reliable financing partner for businesses seeking flexible access to capital.

For PFG Financial, the value comes from having a partner that combines speed with accessibility. “Working with DUCA feels like an extension of our own team,” says LaMar VanDusen, Managing Director at PFG Financial. “We get fast answers, real collaboration, and a partner who understands what we’re trying to achieve. That makes it easier for us to deliver for our clients.”

A Partnership, Not Just Referrals

As a member-focused financial institution, DUCA works closely with business consultants, accountants, and centres of influence to help businesses access the financing they need to achieve their goals. For firms like PFG Financial, direct access to decision-makers and flexible lending solutions help make that process simpler and more effective for the businesses they support.

“What we’re building is more than a referral channel, it’s a true partnership,” says Mo Mauri, Chief Commercial Banking Officer at DUCA. “When we make it easier for business consultants and accountants to do business with us through speed, clarity, and consistency, we’re helping them better serve their clients while supporting business growth across Ontario.”

Whether it’s an unsecured business loan, a business line of credit, or a customized financing solution, DUCA is committed to helping Ontario businesses access the capital they need to grow with confidence.
