Questions
-
Sacha is a private lender and investor based in Western Canada, making impact in housing affordability, regenerative agriculture and forest stewardship through flexible lending and strategic investment.
-
Neither. Our products include bridge and mezzanine loans that work alongside conventional financing and government programs, filling structural gaps with capital that can respond more flexibly to the specific needs of each project.
-
Primarily through lending. We structure loans around the specific needs of each project, including flexible terms, timelines and conditions. In some cases we also make direct investments in land and infrastructure that support our sectors, such as acquiring agricultural land and leasing it to farmers who need access to scale their operations.
-
Conventional lenders offer products from a menu. We design the structure around what the deal requires. That's only possible because our team has deep technical knowledge of the sectors we work in.
-
We work alongside them. Our capital fills gaps in the stack that conventional lenders and government programs struggle to fully service. We're part of the structure, not a replacement for it.
-
People who combine operational capability with outcomes alignment. People who understand their sector deeply enough to see what isn't working and are ready to work with a capital provider to build something to address it.
-
Start with a conversation. We want to understand what you're building, where the gaps are and whether our approach fits before anyone opens a spreadsheet.
If there's alignment, we'll move into a working phase together. If there isn't, we'll say so early and, where possible, point you toward capital that fits better.
-
It depends on the project. Some relationships move from introduction to deployment in a few months. Others take a year or more. The variable is rarely our process, it's the readiness of the deal and the alignment between us.
-
Terms are built around the project, not chosen from a menu. We structure capital around the work rather than asking the work to structure around the capital.
Timelines, security, conditions and repayment are designed to fit the project's actual economics.
