We are BDC, the Business Development Bank of Canada and the financial institution devoted to Canadian entrepreneurs. We help create and develop strong Canadian businesses through financingadvisory services and capital, with a focus on small and medium-sized enterprises.

  • We support entrepreneurs in all industries and at all stages of development from business centres across Canada and online at bdc.ca.
  • We’re committed to the long-term success of Canadian entrepreneurs and we understand that a business is more than just dollars and cents.
  • We complement the role played by private-sector financial institutions and have been serving Canadian entrepreneurs since 1944.
  • We are a financially sustainable Crown corporation and we operate at arm’s length from our sole shareholder, the Government of Canada.
