What is OpportunitiesBC?

Are you looking for investors for your business? Or are you looking to sell a property with an already established business?
Then OpportunitiesBC is the tool for you.

What is OpportunitiesBC?

Launched in late September 2012, OpportunitiesBC was created by the Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Development (JTST), and the Economic Development Association of BC (EDABC), to help attract more foreign investors to British Columbia.
The benefit to you? This online database provides you with a chance to publish business opportunities, which will be viewable by investors interested in doing business in BC.
The types of opportunities you can post are varied:
  • You could be requesting additional financial backing to grow your services.
  • You could be looking to expand your operations into a new location.
  • You could be looking to sell a property, which houses an existing and established business.
The list is endless.

Types of Investors

The OpportunitiesBC website is linked to BC’s foreign language sites in China, Japan, Korea, India, Europe and the USA. It is also used by BC’s in-country International Trade and Investment Representatives who will use the tool to provide opportunities to investors they are in contact with.
