Alberta Welltest Incinerators Ltd.
BDC truly understood my vision for the company. When it came to purchasing the business, we wanted financing that wouldn’t dilute our ownership. The bank really came through with the right deal!

Entrepreneur challenge
The client was looking for financing to support the purchase of the business and its U.S. subsidiary from the founders. Boasting Canadian-developed technology, it was important that the company remain Canadian-owned.
BDC Solution
BDC’s Growth & Transition Capital experts were able to find a financing solution that supported the successful exit for the selling shareholders, while allowing the company to stay Canadian-owned. BDC Capital was the sole external creditor for the purchase and provided a mix of amortizing equipment financing and patient capital for goodwill financing.

- Achieved a smooth transition of ownership
