Sell your restaurants business in Vancouver

Canadian restaurants are notoriously difficult to sell well. Most owners get less than they should because they list on Kijiji, attract tire-kickers, and let competing operators learn their financials. We run confidential restaurant sales using anonymized teasers, NDA-gated CIMs, and a buyer database of independent operators, franchise groups, family offices and immigrants seeking PNP-qualifying businesses.

In Vancouver: Vancouver's economy spans tech (Shopify, Hootsuite, Mogo), film/media, hospitality, professional services, real estate, healthcare, trades, and an enormous Asian-language SME sector. Foreign-buyer interest from the US, China, India, and Iran is consistently strong.

The Vancouver market for restaurants sales

Deepest buyer pool in BC. Most off-market opportunities. Premium multiples on Asian-language and immigrant-buyer eligible businesses.

Vancouver's diversified economy, immigration-driven buyer demand, and US-buyer cross-border interest make it the most liquid Canadian market for sub-$25M business sales. Our office is downtown and we close more Vancouver deals annually than any other location.
