Description:
EDC Investments is an evergreen investment program with more than $3 billion in capital to help Canadian businesses reach their potential.
Comments on Funding:
We take a minority equity position—up to 25% ownership—and don’t seek control positions. For Canadian companies with annual revenues of $10 million to $300 million, we provide later-stage investments of $5 million to $50 million or more, with additional follow-on investing capabilities.
Emerging companies with annual revenues of $500,000 to $10 million can potentially access up to $10 million in investment, inclusive of follow-on capabilities.
