Independent

Sencap’s structure allows it to provide clients with completely unbiased and objective advice. A fully aligned model characterized by the following features.

Sencap is not a bank-owned dealer or affiliated with any institution and therefore not motivated to a particular product or funder solution.
Sencap does not manage its own competing debt funds, thus ensuring it will always seek the most competitive, optimal funder for its clients.
Sencap is an adviser and arranger engaged by its clients for its clients - and is not a broker paid by lenders.

Knowledgeable

The Sencap team has been involved in financing some of the most complex and prominent power, infrastructure, and seniors housing projects in Canada, providing Sencap with an in-depth understanding of the each of the sectors it finances.

The Sencap team has financed a range of complex PPP infrastructure transactions, from $30 million hospice build-finance projects, to $1.6 billion hospital design-build-finance-maintain projects, providing Sencap with the insight to create innovative financing solutions for real estate and seniors housing transactions it arranges, by combining a variety of financial instruments into potential capital solutions.
