BDIC is an amalgamation of the NWT Business Credit Corporation, the NWT Development Corporation, and Canada Business NWT (formerly Canada Business NWT Business Service Centre), which is operated in partnership with Industry Canada.

Its two main delivery areas are Financial Programs (including credit programs, subsidiaries, contributions, and venture investments) and Business Support Services (information services through Canada Business NWT).
