The Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC) was officially established on July 13, 1995. BDC is a federal bank exclusively focusing on Canadian entrepreneurs. BDC is a Crown corporation, owned by the Government of Canada. BDC Capital is a subsidiary of BDC, and is focused on offering specialized financing and funding, including venture capital and growth equity. A Board of directors governs BDC and various committees assist the Board with it’s oversight responsibilities.
