What MCAP Financial Corporation does

MCAP Financial Corporation is a privately held Canadian mortgage financing company founded in 1981 and headquartered at 200 King Street West, Toronto. The company operates as part of the broader MCAP group of companies, which includes multiple wholly-owned subsidiaries (MCAP Commercial LP, MCAP Service Corporation, MCAP Quest LP, MCAP Leasing LP, MCAP Securities LP, and 4223667 Canada Inc.) and is described as one of the largest independent mortgage financing companies in Canada. MCAP originates and services residential mortgages, provides commercial mortgage financing, and arranges development and construction finance across all nine Canadian provinces, supported by eight offices nationwide and a national licensed mortgage broker network that serves as the primary consumer distribution channel.
