Welcome to the Business Development Company Limited! Established in August 2002, the Business Development Company Limited (BDC) is the implementing agency for the Government of Trinidad and Tobago´s policy for enterprise development. The BDC is also the official trade promotion organization of Trinidad and Tobago, assuming the International Business Promotion and Export Certification functions once directed by the Tourism and Industrial Development Company of Trinidad and Tobago Limited, which ceased operation in 2006. The BDC offers an impressive and comprehensive portfolio of solution-driven products and services. These include Consultancy Services, Export Certification, Financial Support Services, International Business Promotion Support Services, Trade Assistance, Training and Business Advisory Services. The BDC also has a wholly owned subsidiary, Caribbean Leasing Company Limited (CLCL), charged with the responsibility of providing equipment and machinery leasing facilities to companies in Trinidad and Tobago. This facility allows businesses to become more competitive through the upgrading and modernizing of their operations and systems. They are better equipped to compete locally as well as internationally, producing goods and services with cutting edge machinery. Cash conservation, one of the major benefits of leasing, has allowed businesses to invest in other areas of their operations such as working capital, expansion and employee benefits geared toward staff retention. CLCL continues to grant leases to the country´s agricultural, food processing, printing and packaging, manufacturing, construction and personal services sectors. Let the Business Development Company Limited be your first stop for all the information, support and guidance you need, to become internationally competitive!
