BDC Subordinate Financing

Business Development Bank of Canada

Applies to: All of Canada

Are the security requirements of traditional banks a roadblock to financing for your growing business? Subordinate financing could help you get from $250,000 to $10,000,000.

Subordinate financing is a combination of debt financing (loan with fixed interest) and equity financing (royalties and/or stock options in your business). It offers very flexible repayment terms.

You can use subordinate financing for:

Working capital to support growth
Making acquisitions
Shareholder buyouts
Financing intangible assets

Eligible businesses are profitable, have a competitive advantage, strong management and solid financial controls.
