Antoine Nohra moved to Canada in 1990, as a recent college graduate with tremendous intelligence, grit, and ambition. When Nohra landed a role soliciting credit card sales from his retail client’s customers, it would become the framework for Credico, which he founded a year after arriving in the North American country.

The Lebanon-raised entrepreneur started Credico with one simple goal in mind — maximize revenue and simplify outsourced sales for companies of all types, including Fortune 150, mid-market, and donor acquisition for non-profit organizations. He created this model from his own experience in the field, which is the reason he and Credico have been so successful. With this focus, Credico has become the resilient, trusted, and experienced global force that it is today.
“When launching a product or service to the marketplace, confidence and conviction are required,” said Nohra. “It’s essential and key to ensure all previous preparation towards successful timing and implementation pays off. It is fundamental to the success of your business and it’s how I approach starting a business and staying in business.”
Three decades in business is impressive for any company. For Credico, it has been a testament to our leadership, employees, and clients’ belief in our mission and ability to deliver excellence for our partners. We drown out the noise and actions that do not provide outstanding results. Over the years we’ve accomplished a lot and experienced what might have crippled most companies, and yet we stood firm. We stood firm in the belief that Credico is a company that embodies the entrepreneurial spirit and upholds its ideals as corporate citizens and compassionate people. Because of this, our business has the soul to sustain itself through anything, anywhere, and anytime.
“I am a firm believer in the idea that for businesses or entrepreneurs to thrive, besides innovative excellence, it takes purpose and tenacity,” said Nohra. “However, the most successful businesses that I have been involved in owe their affluence and growth largely to one consistent theme, the element of timing – having the right idea, the right product, at the right time.”
Credico has grown immensely since signing its first major client in 1991. We think it is because we have offered the right idea, the right business strategy, and the right marketing approach at the right time for the companies that have partnered with us. While our growth has been steady and deliberate, we credit Credico’s accelerated growth in part to the like-minded individuals on our team who work alongside our efforts to execute our vision and carry out our mission.
Our success is fueled by the creativity, endurance, and adaptability of entrepreneurs. Jesse Young first partnered with Credico in 2005, and he is currently the President of Credico. Jesse’s strategic thinking and experience propelled our operations to compete in a variety of channels including face-to-face, call center, and in the digital world.

“When I first learned of Credico I was immediately drawn to the presence it commanded in the market and their reputation,” said Young. “It was an easy decision and an honor to take what Nohra created and cultivated to present it to the rest of the business world to benefit from.”
