BDC survey shows Canadian SMEs keen to invest in new projects

A new survey conducted by the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC) has found that close to 80 percent of Canadian small and medium-sized enterprises intend to invest in new projects over the next 12 months. Planned areas of business investment included marketing, technology and operations optimization. R&D projects were ear-marked to receive the greatest amount of money, with over one third of respondents planning to invest more than $100,000. The survey also found that exporters were more inclined to invest in new projects than non-exporters.
