Sell your business in Canada with a clear path to close

We have built a proprietary database of over one million buyers. For each mandate, our AI ranks them by acquisition history, sector fit, size and strategic fit. You get a short list of the buyers most likely to value your business.

We charge a success fee only when your business sells. There is no retainer, monthly fee or upfront cost, and no bank account or credit card is needed. The consultation to review your valuation and matched buyers is free, with no obligation.

A well-run confidential sale usually takes 6 to 10 months from going to market to closing. Preparing the numbers a buyer will look at can take about a year before that, so owners who start two or three years out keep more of their options. How long a sale takes

Half of a capital gain is taxable. In a share sale of a qualifying small business corporation, each owner can shelter up to $1,275,000 of the gain in 2026 under the lifetime capital gains exemption. In an asset sale the company sells and pays tax first, so the same price can leave you with less. Ask your accountant to model both before you agree a structure. Taxes when you sell

Owners usually prefer a share sale, for the exemption and a single layer of tax. Buyers usually prefer an asset sale, because they choose what they take on and can write the price off over time. The structure is negotiated along with the price, and the price often moves to settle the difference. Share sale or asset sale

No. We do not share anything that identifies you or your business without your approval. Buyers see an anonymous profile first, and only approved buyers who sign an NDA receive the CIM.

You can sell on your own, and owners who already have a buyer at the table sometimes do. An advisor adds buyers you would not reach yourself, keeps the sale confidential while it is shown, and negotiates the terms that decide what you take home. Broker, advisor or yourself
