Buying A Small Business In The Elk Island Region

Looking at buying a small business?

Buying a business can be a smart investment but it’s different than starting one from scratch.

In order to buy a small business, you’ll likely need capital to pay for:

  • Acquiring fixed assets such as shares, real estate, or equipment
  • Intellectual property or copyrights
  • Marketing & communications
  • Training & certifications

Our team of Business Advisors are here to walk you through business planning for all scenarios (good, bad or worse) to ensure you have the resources & financing you need to succeed
