Most brokers hear "BDC" and assume it is the best place to send a business client. Sua Truong, with three decades in commercial financing and over 350 brokers trained, explains why that assumption quietly costs brokers deals, and why BDC is one door, not the only one.

If you are a residential broker watching residential tighten up, the business owners already sitting in your book may be holding commercial files you can actually close and get paid on in about 90 days, not the six to twelve months a CMHC MLI Select file can take.

In this episode Desmond Soon and Sua Truong break down:

What BDC actually is, and who it can and cannot help
Why BDC turns away real estate investors but funds active business owners
Why new brokers should think twice before chasing CMHC MLI Select
Money now, money medium, money future, and why it decides how fast you get paid
How to spot the business owners already in your book of clients
The exact conversation to have with a business owner, using a real HVAC example
How to tell whether a file is a BDC loan or equipment financing
Whether you need a license, and whether you have to hand the file to your commercial department
The real pros and cons of BDC, including the rate ceiling most brokers do not know about
Why so many BDC applications get declined, and why it is rarely the business's fault

This video is for mortgage brokers, residential brokers moving into commercial, loan officers, and financial professionals who want to close more commercial files and stop handing deals to the commercial department for 25 basis points.

(Note on licensing: Sua explains why equipment financing generally sits outside mortgage licensing because it is not secured against real property. Confirm the rules in your own province or state before you act on it.)
