SMALL BUSINESS LOANS
To grow your business the right way.
Finding the Recipe for Success
The COR Hospitality Advisory Group was established to provide consulting and restructuring services for restaurants, bars, hotels, banquet halls, and night clubs across Ontario. The hospitality industry is a very tough industry to be successful in. There is so much competition and having consistent success takes a lot of work, time, money, and most of all, personal effort from owners. It is not a perfect science and knowing what the right recipe for success is doesn’t come easy. Our goal is to help businesses succeed and find the right opportunity to start their successful operation or continue to grow into a successful operation.
Through this division, we provide businesses with operational consulting services, small business loans for financial stability anywhere from $100,000 upwards, along with restructuring services to keep the doors from being closed permanently. Headed by Eric Satov as Senior Consultant, a veteran of 20 plus years in the hospitality industry, our services consist of full 360 degree coverage of every business.
2020 has been a very difficult year for the hospitality industry. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, thousands of restaurants have been forced to lay off employees, or worse, close their doors permanently. This has been devastating to individuals and our economy. At COR, we understand that small businesses are the backbone of our economy.
We want to help. You don't have to shut your doors for good. All you need is a little bit of guidance and your future is looking bright. When you work with us, you will see that we take all aspects of your business into account. We believe that the sum of all parts is greater than the whole and we will focus on even the most minor details to ensure that you are set up for success.
It's time to cheers to a fruitful future!
