Investing in a BC Business

2 out of every 5 business owners in rural and non-metropolitan BC are expected to exit their business in the next 5 years. It's a buyer's market with an abundance of choice and competitive offers throughout the province. At the same time, the rising cost of living and its impact on quality of life in large urban centers is leading some residents to start looking for alternative places to live.

I was able to get a valuation done on the business by a qualified person. I appreciated this support in helping me make the decision on an offer for the business. I think that BC Business Match is a great opportunity for anyone who is wanting to or considering the sale of or the purchase of a business. Sometimes it is just not knowing where to start or even where to look. BC Business Match was instrumental in helping me formulate the Offer to Purchase for the business that I was interested in.

Excellent guidance in walking through the processes required to initiating and completing the purchase of a business. It was nice to have someone on your side that could explain the ins and outs of purchasing a business. It is one thing to have the means to do so and the vision to execute, it is an entirely different ballgame having someone to walk you through it all and make it make sense.
