The Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC) is a financial institution wholly owned by the government of Canada. BDC plays a leadership role in delivering financial, investment and consulting services to Canadian small and medium-sized businesses. These services complement those of private sector financial institutions.

Our new vision is "Accelerate SME Success"

Our approach is to meet entrepreneurs in their place of business over a cup of coffee. Everything at BDC starts with a conversation to explore different ways to grow your company. Our job is to make you bigger.

We are not an alternative to your regular bank. Instead, we are here to complement what they are already doing for you, to fill in the gaps, to supplement. We help companies buy modern equipment to speed up production. We help companies buy bigger buildings to increase their capacity. We help companies boost their working capital so they can afford to execute growth projects - even when there isn't any collateral for a traditional loan.
