Elite Window Cleaning
I will be forever thankful to BDC. I was at the point of giving up my dream and now I’m running a business. They literally changed my life.

A Canadian window cleaning franchise with a large territory. Part of a growing and supportive company, it’s building up its customer base.

Entrepreneur challenge
After another bank rejected his plan to purchase a franchise, Jameel approached BDC hoping it would act differently. BDC quickly recognized his window cleaning venture as a viable business. As a result of BDC’s support, he is now a franchise owner.
BDC expertise
Jameel was introduced to the Inclusive entrepreneurship loan and BDC helped him fine-tune his business plan, with his adviser available for any concerns. He was nervous he would not be approved. A couple of weeks later he got the loan and finally launched his franchise.
