Buying A Small Business In The Yellowhead East 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 specialists are here to walk you through business planning for all scenarios (good, bad or worse) to ensure you have the resources and financing you need to succeed.
