Sell your financial services business in Toronto
Financial services M&A is hot. Insurance brokerages (commercial P&C especially) sell at 8x–12x EBITDA, often higher in active PE consolidation. Mortgage brokerages and financial advisory practices sell at strong multiples when book-of-business transferability is documented.
In Toronto: Financial services, tech, manufacturing, professional services, hospitality, retail — every Canadian industry transacts here. Multi-cultural buyer pools (Italian, Greek, South Asian, Chinese, Korean, etc.) drive industry-specific opportunities.
