BDC offers financing and advisory support intended to help Canadian businesses respond to tariffs and trade uncertainty. Support can help businesses preserve cash flow, absorb increased costs, purchase equipment, adjust supply chains or make other investments needed to adapt to changing trade conditions.
BDC’s Pivot to Grow program can provide financing of up to $5 million to eligible businesses. BDC also offers sector-specific tariff support, working-capital financing and advisory services focused on improving trade resilience and competitiveness.
The federal government announced additional BDC tariff-response funding and expanded eligibility on August 25, 2026. Businesses should review BDC’s current criteria when applying, as individual program pages may be updated as the new measures are implemented.
