BDC Funding

Spread the cost. Finance your AI project.

Want the results without the upfront hit? Canada's BDC offers financing built for exactly this — its Data‑to‑AI and LIFT programs can fund your project so you pay from the return, not out of pocket.

We're AI consultants — not grant administrators. Straight talk, always.

How clients pay

Simple, predictable, and financeable

Pay as you go

The free Snapshot, then the $2,495 Quick Start and the Diagnostic (from $3,500), paid up front. Build sprints split 50% at the start, 50% on completion.

Or spread it with BDC

Prefer to keep cash free? BDC's Data‑to‑AI and LIFT programs can finance the project. You apply to BDC directly; we scope the work they fund.

Pay from the return

Agentic AI gives hours and revenue back. Financing lets those savings help cover the cost — not your operating account.

An honest comparison

BDC financing vs. chasing grants

BDC financing — what we recommend

✓ A loan built for tech/AI projects — you apply directly
✓ Fast, predictable, and you stay in control
✓ Pay from the return, over time
✓ We scope exactly what gets funded

Government grants — the honest truth

• We are not grant administrators; we don't apply for you
• Grant timelines are slow and uncertain
• Eligibility shifts and isn't guaranteed
• If one genuinely fits, great — but we won't build a plan around it

Is this a grant?

No — it's financing (a loan). That's the advantage: faster and more predictable than chasing grants, and you pay it from the return the work generates.
