The Business Development Bank promotes entrepreneurship through three main programs: BDC Financing, BDC Subordinate Financing and BDC Venture Capital. BDC Financing provides commercial loans to eligible businesses that include more flexible terms than loans provided by conventional lenders. Loans are available for everything from start-up costs and working capital to market expansion and business succession. The program also provides a special set of lending services specifically targeted to Aboriginal entrepreneurs.
