Key Services

CBGA provides comprehensive support, including identifying a suitable business, performing due diligence, and managing all related immigration procedures. We guide you through tax optimization, connecting with partners, and handling product or service adaptation for the Canadian market. Additionally, we help you with local distributor relationships, customer outreach, and market testing to ensure that your business can thrive in the North American market.

CBGA Support

Purchasing a business is a well-established immigration pathway in Canada. The cost of acquiring a profitable business typically starts at around $400K, and for businesses priced below this threshold, you may face increased management time. We perform comprehensive due diligence before you proceed with the acquisition. This includes financial analysis, risk assessments, and management recommendations to ensure the long-term success of your new venture.

We will also thoroughly evaluate the business by performing a mystery shopper visit and presenting you with detailed feedback about the operations. Should there be any liabilities or potential obligations, we help you mitigate those risks prior to purchase. If necessary, we will further develop a tax optimization strategy, ensuring financial sustainability.

How CBGA Can Help

CBGA offers tailored guidance throughout the business acquisition and immigration process. We assist with obtaining Work Permits, performing a full evaluation of the business you plan to purchase, and creating a transition plan that ensures operational success.

Startup Visa Option

Unlike purchasing an existing business, the Startup Visa comes with no age restrictions and offers lower language proficiency requirements. This program is designed to support entrepreneurs who are launching new ventures with the potential for growth and job creation in Canada. Depending on your business model and vision, the Startup Visa may be a strong alternative to acquiring an existing company.
