Dave Hill
Founder & CEO
Dave Hill founded Rocky Ridge Funding after experiencing firsthand how difficult it is for small business owners to navigate the traditional lending system. With a background spanning real estate, business operations, and financial consulting, Dave built Rocky Ridge Funding on three pillars: speed, transparency, and genuine care for the Calgary business community.
Today, Dave leads a team of experienced lending specialists serving businesses across Calgary, Edmonton, Red Deer, Lethbridge, and throughout Alberta. His philosophy is straightforward: every business deserves a funding partner who treats them as more than just a credit score.
Under Dave’s leadership, Rocky Ridge Funding has helped over 271 Calgary businesses access the capital they need to grow, expand, and succeed.

How it works
Get started with Rockyridge
Your investment or loan is managed by experienced professionals. Transparent performance reporting and guaranteed client communication ensure your experience with Rocky Ridge Funding is always clear and productive.
Whatever your circumstance, let our specialists be your guide
Traditional banks often reject self-employed business owners in Calgary because income is irregular or shown differently on tax returns. Rocky Ridge Funding assesses your actual cash flow and business performance; not just your T4. Whether you're a sole proprietor, incorporated, or a contractor, we have business loan products designed specifically for non-traditional income earners across Alberta.

A low credit score or a mark on your bureau doesn't have to end your funding options. Rocky Ridge Funding uses a cash-flow-first underwriting model; meaning your monthly revenue, business history, and repayment ability carry more weight than your credit score alone. Many Calgary and Alberta businesses with credit challenges have secured funding through us after being declined elsewhere.
Managing multiple high-interest business loans, merchant cash advances, or credit lines at once is costly and stressful. Rocky Ridge Funding rolls multiple debt obligations into a single, structured business debt consolidation loan — typically at a lower blended rate, with one predictable monthly payment. Calgary businesses have reduced their total monthly debt service by 20–40% through our consolidation solutions.

Waiting 60–90 days for customers to pay outstanding invoices creates real cash flow pressure; especially for Calgary trades, contractors, and B2B service businesses. Rocky Ridge Funding's invoice financing advances up to 90% of your outstanding receivables within 24 hours, so you have the working capital to meet payroll, pay suppliers, and take on new contracts without waiting.
Whether you need a work truck, commercial kitchen equipment, manufacturing machinery, or technology hardware, Rocky Ridge Funding structures equipment financing that preserves your working capital. Terms from 12 to 84 months, available to Calgary and Alberta businesses across all industries; construction, hospitality, logistics, healthcare, and more. The equipment itself often serves as collateral, making approval faster.
Most banks require 2+ years in business before considering a loan application. Rocky Ridge Funding works with newer Calgary businesses — including those under 12 months old — using revenue, customer contracts, and business plan strength as qualifying factors. If your Calgary business is generating consistent revenue, we want to hear from you regardless of how long you've been operating.
Alberta's economy runs on seasonal businesses; construction, agriculture, tourism, hospitality, and retail all experience revenue peaks and troughs. Rocky Ridge Funding's revenue-based financing products flex with your income: repayments scale up during strong months and down during slow periods. We also offer lines of credit that let Calgary business owners draw capital when needed and repay when revenue allows.
A bank rejection is not the end of the road. Rocky Ridge Funding was built specifically to serve Calgary and Alberta businesses that traditional lenders have turned down; for any reason. We review your file with fresh eyes, a different underwriting model, and a genuine interest in finding a path forward. Over 70% of our clients have been declined by at least one major bank before finding a solution with Rocky Ridge Funding.
