Offered by Government of Canada, Business Development Bank of Canada
Tech companies often reach a point where growth opportunities outpace available cash flow, especially when product development, hiring, or market expansion all compete for capital at the same time. BDC Financing — Tech Companies is designed for Canadian technology businesses that want to scale without giving up equity or control. Delivered by the Business Development Bank of Canada, this national financing option supports founders who are building, growing, or expanding their operations and need capital that aligns with the realities of tech growth cycles.
Rather than relying strictly on traditional banking metrics, BDC takes a broader view of a company’s potential. Financing can be used for a wide range of growth initiatives, from accelerating go-to-market strategies and developing new products to hiring talent, investing in sales and digital marketing, or acquiring another business. Funding amounts vary by project, and repayment terms are typically structured around cash flow, offering more flexibility than conventional loans. In some cases, businesses may benefit from features like customized repayment schedules or early-stage breathing room as they ramp up.
This financing is repayable and suited to technology companies across Canada that meet certain requirements and are generating revenue. For founders looking for growth capital that supports long-term ambitions while keeping ownership intact, exploring the full details of this BDC financing option can help determine whether it fits your next milestone.
