Did you Know you can Leverage BDC Financing to Fund your Project?

Building a marketplace is extremely exciting but like anything it can be overwhelming. When starting out, it’s important to surround yourself with a solid network and an experienced team that can point you in the right direction.

Marketplace Studio offers an end-to-end ecosystem that connects founders or business owners with a collaborative team of experienced professionals that can help bring your marketplace or development project to life. We provide a solution that puts an end to hiring multiple individual contributors to work on one project. Instead, our team brings together specialists and marketplace experts that collaborate to create a stellar final product.

One of the biggest challenges for business owners is securing funding. The BDC provides funds for Canadian startups that are in the early stages of development. At the date of application businesses must have been in operation for at least 12 months in addition to generating revenue. Like Marketplace Studio, the BDC intends to provide you with the resources you need to turn your business ideas into a reality.

Financing for Tech Companies

The BDC is one of Canada’s most important tech investors which can largely be attributed to their in-depth understanding of how business owners and tech founders spend money differently than businesses in other industries or sectors. The BDC has specific loans that have been designed for tech companies in addition to many other financing solutions that may help you fund various elements of your business including development.
