#OwnersWanted

Did you know 76% of Canadian business owners are planning to exit their business over the next decade — and 54% say their biggest challenge is finding the right buyer?* #OwnersWanted is a new program that gets you ready to buy the small business of your dreams.

Upcoming sessions

Join our #OwnersWanted workshops at your convenience! We offer both in-person regional workshops and online sessions.

These workshops are spread over 2 consecutive days, with 3 hours per day.

Guidelines related to the online sessions

To optimize your experience, we recommend turning on your camera during the virtual workshops (breaks excluded) to enhance collaboration and idea exchange in our breakout rooms. Ensure you’re in a quiet, distraction-free environment.

Please do a quick sound check to ensure your webcam and microphone are in tune before we start.
