For established Canadian companies aiming to scale aggressively, access to patient capital and experienced partners can be just as important as cash. BDC Capital’s Growth Equity Partner program is built for mid-market enterprises that are ready to accelerate expansion in Canada or internationally, whether through organic growth, acquisitions, or ownership transitions. Rather than traditional debt, this initiative focuses on equity investment, aligning BDC Capital with management teams as a long-term minority partner.
Through this program, eligible businesses can secure multi‑million‑dollar equity investments, often ranging from several million dollars into the tens of millions, while retaining operational control. BDC Capital works alongside founders, executives, and boards, bringing not only growth capital but also strategic insight, governance experience, and access to a national network of investors and industry leaders. The approach is flexible, with BDC able to participate as a sole investor or alongside others, and to support both growth initiatives and partial liquidity events for shareholders.
This opportunity is best suited to profitable, established enterprises with a proven business model and ambitions to become national or global leaders. Companies considering a significant next step—such as scaling operations, entering new markets, or strengthening ownership structures—may find this partnership especially valuable. Exploring the full details can help determine whether BDC Capital’s Growth Equity Partner aligns with your long-term growth strategy.
