About PFG
The team on your side of the table.
PFG Financial has helped business owners across North America access funding, keep clean financials, and make decisions with real numbers since 2010. We've helped 1,000+ companies get funded in Canada, and our accounting arm PMG is the official partner several franchise brands name to their systems.
One firm, four lanes: advisory, capital, accounting, and franchise. Most clients start in one and end up using two.
Leadership
Two practitioners, two halves of the firm.
Lamar VanDusen
Managing Director, PFG Financial
Lamar has spent over 25 years building, funding, and advising businesses across North America. He founded PFG to close the gap between owners and the financing options that actually exist for them; more than 1,000 companies funded later, the gap is still the job.
He writes regularly for Elite Franchise Magazine and speaks at industry events on business financing and franchise growth.
Mandeep Sahi
Managing Director, PMG Accounting
Mandeep is a Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA Ontario) who has led PMG for over a decade, building the accounting division from the ground up. Her team runs the books, payroll, tax, and the 1,200 plus CPA business plans the financing side is built on.
Multiple franchise brands across North America name PMG their official accounting partner and send their franchisees directly to her team.
How We Charge
No lender can buy our recommendation.
Owners are right to be suspicious of intermediaries: the internet is full of warnings about brokers taking cuts from lenders, steering files for commissions, and charging fees up front for nothing. The cleanest answer we can give is our own structure, in writing, before you ask.
The throughline is simple: you are the only party who pays us, so yours is the only outcome we are paid to protect. That is why every engagement starts with an honest read of the file.
And not yet is an answer we actually give.
The Record
Fifteen years, in four numbers.
Our own application and funding history since 2010. History, not a forward promise.
Where You Will Find Us
In the franchise rooms, not just the lending ones.
PFG sponsors the Elite Franchise 100 and contributes to Elite Franchise Magazine; we support the RBC Black Entrepreneur Group and show up at franchise events across North America. The firm runs from Mississauga, Ontario, and works with owners across Canada and the United States.
Put a file in front of us.
Whichever lane you start in, the first step is the same: an honest read of where the business stands and what it qualifies for.
Lenders pay us nothing. The only file our advice serves is yours.
