Financing Options
BDC offers dedicated financing for digital and AI adoption. DeployLabs helps you build the implementation plan that makes your case stronger.
The Program
BDC LIFT (Loans for Innovation and Future Technologies) is a financing program from the Business Development Bank of Canada designed to help SMBs adopt digital technologies and AI-powered systems.
It supports planning, execution, and implementation work — including the kind of structured engagement a firm like DeployLabs delivers.
DeployLabs Role
We do not apply for financing on your behalf. We build the implementation work that a financed engagement is meant to cover.
We audit your operations, identify AI opportunity areas, and document the current state. This becomes the foundation of your implementation plan.
We map the processes that AI will touch — showing BDC what you are building, why it matters, and how it delivers ROI.
A structured roadmap with phases, milestones, and deliverables. The kind of document that makes a financing application credible.
Once financed, we build and deploy your autonomous AI agent team — coordinated, configured, and operational.
Eligibility
BDC LIFT is available to Canadian SMBs that meet BDC's eligibility criteria. DeployLabs is not a BDC partner and cannot determine your eligibility — that is between you and BDC.
What we can do: help you understand whether your implementation scope aligns with what LIFT covers, and build the plan that supports your application.
Important
DeployLabs does not guarantee financing approval. We help you build the implementation work. BDC determines eligibility and credit decisions independently.
Start with an AI Readiness Assessment. Two weeks. A live prototype. A board-ready roadmap. $2,500, fully credited toward your build.
