'''Bombardier Capital''' ('''BC'''), a subsidiary of Bombardier Inc., was formed during 1973 in [[Colchester, Vermont]].
BC was involved in the secured financing of dealer inventories purchased from manufacturers and distributors of recreational and consumer products, especially [[Bombardier Recreational Products]], in the United States, Canada and Europe. Their clients consisted of [[Sea-Doo]] and [[Ski-Doo]] dealers, as well as retailers in multiple industries, primarily [[manufactured housing]], [[Boating#Types of boats|recreational boating]] and [[Recreational vehicle|specialty and recreational vehicles]].
