Why Us
The only Canadian platform that brings buyers, sellers, and capital together in one place.
Listing sites aggregate. Curated platforms screen. Brokers advise. Banks lend. We are the only platform in Canada that does all of it in one connected workflow — with no handoffs and no information lost between parties.
Three things only we do.
Defensible, honest, and impossible to find anywhere else in Canada.
Pre-structured capital stack
Senior debt, vendor take-back, and buyer equity calculated for every deal. Then we arrange the actual financing through our BDC and chartered bank network.
Instant NDA. Instant CIM.
Sign a digital NDA and unlock the full Confidential Information Memorandum in 30 seconds. No phone tag, no concierge queue, no 5 day wait.
Listing to close in one platform
We list the business, match qualified buyers, structure the financing, and support the close. Brokers do one of those. Banks do another. We do all three.

Built for Canada
Not a US platform translated into CAD.
Built from the ground up around how Canadian businesses actually transact.
BDC + chartered bank network
Direct relationships with the lenders Canadian acquirers actually use.
LCGE aware
Deal structuring with Canada's Lifetime Capital Gains Exemption in mind from day one.
Province by province coverage
From BC trades to Ontario SaaS to Quebec manufacturing.
CAD native pricing
Every number is in CAD. No FX surprises. No US tax structures bolted on.
How We Get Paid
We only win when you close.
No upfront retainers. No hidden fees. Pricing built around outcomes, not hours billed.
Sell-side success fee
A percentage of transaction value, paid at close. Competitive with traditional brokers — without the $10K+ retainer to start.
Buy-side success fee
A percentage of transaction value, paid at close by the buyer. We earn it by delivering structured deals with financing already in place.
Financing fee
A percentage of the debt we secure for you through our BDC, chartered bank, and private credit network. You only pay if we deliver the capital.
Buyer subscription
$4 per month for full buyer access. A serious-buyer filter, not the real revenue. Cancel anytime.
Sellers pay nothing upfront. Buyers pay $4 a month. Everyone else pays only when the deal closes.
