Approaching risk with the right mindset

Approaching risk with the right mindset

Learn from industry leading experts

Every time you’re an entrepreneur you’re putting your security at risk. You put your financial freedom at risk, but if you don’t do it, I think that’s the biggest risk of all.

Overcoming risk with confidence

When you get that opportunity to export, how do you do it? Do you raise money? Sub debt? Equity? EDC secured the line with a traditional lender and away we went.

Starting success with exporting abroad

Exporting also means taking risks. But we can manage those risks. [...] EDC is here just for that. They offer programs and provide support.

Go from risk to reward
