Businesses $1M – $5M for Sale
Mid-market businesses and commercial assets priced between $1 million and $5 million in Greater Vancouver. Multi-employee operations, multi-location retail, and revenue-generating buildings.
Businesses priced from $1 million to $5 million are established, institutional-quality operations — the kind with management teams, multi-year revenue history, and the scale to support acquisition financing and buyer groups. In Metro Vancouver this band spans profitable franchises with multiple locations, industrial and manufacturing operations tied to real estate, and commercial assets that pair a business with the building it occupies. Buyers here are underwriting cash flow and enterprise value, not just buying a job: EBITDA quality, customer concentration, working-capital needs, and the strength of the management team all move the price. We guide buyers through valuation, splitting business value from real-estate value, coordinating lenders and advisors, and negotiating terms — from earn-outs to transition periods — that keep the operation running smoothly through the change of ownership.
What drives value at this level
Above $1M, price is set by the quality and durability of cash flow — and by how cleanly the business can transfer to a new owner.
- EBITDA quality: Normalized, recurring earnings versus one-time or owner-inflated numbers.
- Customer concentration: How much revenue depends on a handful of accounts.
- Real estate: Whether the deal includes the building, and how to value business vs. property.
- Management depth: A team that can run the business without the seller in the chair.
How we support the deal
Transactions at this size involve lenders, accountants, and lawyers — we quarterback the process so nothing stalls.
- Valuation: Grounded in comparable sales, earnings multiples, and asset value.
- Deal structure: Balancing cash, vendor financing, earn-outs, and transition terms.
- Advisor coordination: Aligning lender, accountant, and legal timelines to closing.
- Transition planning: Protecting staff, customers, and operations through handover.
