With more than 20,000 Aboriginals running their own businesses, Aboriginal communities show higher rates of new business creation and self-employment growth than the Canadian average. With this increased activity comes the need for a greater variety of consulting and financial services. BDC's Aboriginal Banking Unit consists of Aboriginal people well aware of the specific needs of Aboriginal entrepreneurs, and offers customized, long-term, and flexible solutions. |
