How comparables are selected

The sample is every business listed for sale at your size in Canada and the United States, updated as listings are added and removed.

Industry and size filters are the first screen. Our model then reads each listing's description and keeps only the businesses a buyer would compare with yours, with a note on why each was kept.

Your valuation is taken from your report and never recalculated. The comparison adds market context; your range stays the same.

All figures are asking prices. Sale prices for businesses this size are not published.
