Answers before you even ask
Selling or buying a business raises a lot of questions. Here are a few we hear most often.
Most small and mid-sized business sales take between 6 and 12 months from listing to closing. The timeline depends on the size and type of business, how well prepared the financial records are, the asking price, and how quickly the buyer can arrange financing. Good preparation is the single biggest factor in speeding things up.
We look at your financial statements and tax returns, normalize the earnings (adding back owner-specific and one-time expenses), and then compare against how similar businesses are valued in the market. Depending on the business, we may use a multiple of seller’s discretionary earnings (SDE) or EBITDA, an asset-based approach, or a combination.
Many buyers put down 10% to 30% of the purchase price and finance the rest through a bank loan, a Canada Small Business Financing Program loan, vendor take-back financing, or a combination. We can introduce you to lenders and help you understand what you can realistically afford.
Your first consultation is free. For business sales, our fee is typically success-based, meaning it is paid when the sale closes, and is agreed in writing before we start. Valuations and consulting are quoted upfront based on the scope of work.
