Buy a Business

Buy the Right Business With Confidence and Expert Support

Looking to buy a business in Calgary? Whether you're a first-time entrepreneur or an experienced investor, purchasing an established business can save you years of trial, error, and start-up stress. We help aspiring business owners assess opportunities, avoid costly mistakes, and navigate the entire buying process with clarity and care.

‍

From your first inquiry to closing day, we’ll guide you every step of the way so you can step into ownership with confidence and start earning from day one.

Skip the Startup Struggle. Step Into a Business That’s Already Working

Buying an existing business means inheriting systems, customers, revenue, and reputation. But it also means taking on real financial risk if the deal isn't structured properly or the business isn’t what it seems.

‍

We’ll help you ask the right questions, evaluate the opportunity with fresh eyes, and make sure you're investing in something solid. You bring the vision, and we’ll help you back it up with strategy.

Owning a Business Is a Bold Move. We’re Here to Help You Get It Right.

Buying a business isn’t just a financial investment. It’s a life-changing decision that shapes your future, your lifestyle, and your legacy. Whether you’re stepping into ownership for the first time or expanding your portfolio, we understand the trust it takes to make that leap. Our job is to help you buy wisely, avoid regrets, and start strong.

‍

We work with buyers who are:

• Ready to skip the startup struggle and take over a business with built-in momentum
• Seeking a career shift or lifestyle change through hands-on entrepreneurship
• Relocating to Calgary and looking for a turnkey business opportunity
• Exploring semi-passive or fully active investment options
• Purchasing a business and either taking over the lease or buying the property as part of the deal

Whatever your reason, we’re here to help you make a confident, well-supported purchase. We’ll work hard to find the right fit, protect your investment, and guide you every step of the way into ownership.

What’s Included in Our Business Buyer Representation Service

• Clarity When You Need It Most: Buying a business can feel overwhelming. We help you cut through the noise, ask the right questions, and stay grounded in your vision.

• Access to Off-Market & Quiet Listings: Not every opportunity is listed publicly. Through our network, you may gain access to exclusive or private-sale businesses.

• Ongoing Guidance & Decision Support: We're here to talk through scenarios, weigh pros and cons, and help you stay confident as the process evolves.

• Professional Referrals You Can Trust: From legal and tax professionals to lenders and lease negotiators, we’ll connect you with vetted experts if and when you need them.

• A Calm, Experienced Advocate in Your Corner: You won’t be pressured or left in the dark. We’re here to advocate for your best outcome at every stage of the deal.

Our 5-Step Business Buying Process

1. Discovery & Buyer Profile: We begin by understanding your goals, preferred industries, budget, experience level, and lifestyle priorities. This step ensures we align the search with your vision.

2. Search & Screening: We present listings that match your criteria, filter out poor fits, and help you assess early-stage suitability so you avoid wasting time.

3. Business Evaluation & Due Diligence: We help you analyze financial records, operations, staffing, lease terms, and customer base with clarity. We’ll also highlight questions to ask and areas to investigate further.

4. Offer Structuring & Negotiation: We help you craft a smart offer, navigate counteroffers, and negotiate terms that protect your interests while maintaining positive seller rapport.

5. Closing Coordination: We guide you through key milestones: condition removals, documentation, final approvals, (and support a clean handoff so you’re ready to take the reins on day one).

Service Fee

Our business buyer representation service is most often covered by the seller or listing brokerage. In cases where a seller fee isn’t available, we offer a clear, success-based pricing structure that reflects the scope of the search and transaction.

‍

When not covered by the seller, our typical fees range from 2% to 4% of the final purchase price, or a flat fee starting at $5,000, depending on complexity. We’ll walk through all of this during your consultation, so you can move forward with confidence.
