Reliant Commercial Inc. specializes in the sale of businesses in Canada. Based in Vancouver the company has over the past 15 years assisted many business owners in different industries with the sale of their businesses. We have learnt and know how to price a business and how to market it, to find the right Buyer and to sell it. This experience can be extremely valuable to a business owner.
Reliant is set-up to offer a personal one-to-one service based on an ethos of honesty and expediency. Selling a business is often a once in a lifetime event which can be daunting for an Owner. We therefore make sure you know what to expect at each step of the way and guide you through the process from the initial appraisal to the successful conclusion.
Established and profitable businesses continue to get a good deal of interest from well-financed and strategic buyers that are looking to expand their operations through acquisitions. Canada is seeing a major shift in business ownership as the baby boomer generation retires. In order for a business to stand out in this competitive market the benefits of professional representation should not be underestimated.

The company started because I saw an opportunity to offer a professional service to people who were looking to exit their businesses. I have been a broker for 15 years now and been involved in many different transactions in many different industries over that time. We have learnt and know how to price a business and how to market it, to find the right Buyer and to sell it. This experience can be extremely valuable to a business owner.
We are highly specialized and work with a small number of clients in order to provide a hands on service.

Our expertise is in managing all aspects that can come up during a transaction. We try and build a consultative relationship with clients based on sound advice and efficient timely service.
