At CFIR, we highlight resources that help entrepreneurs thrive. The Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC) is a federally mandated financial institution focused entirely on supporting entrepreneurs and small to medium-sized businesses. Unlike traditional banks, BDC’s sole mission is to provide flexible financing, expert advisory services, and inclusive programs tailored for women, Indigenous, newcomer, and young business owners. In addition, BDC offers free tools such as business plan templates, calculators, and market research reports to help businesses grow at every stage.
