The financing route built for this size of deal
The Canada Small Business Financing Program shares the lender’s risk with the federal government, which is what makes a bank willing to lend against a business this size at all. Since the 2022 amendments it can cover intangible assets and working capital, not just equipment and property — which matters here, because at this price the value is often goodwill rather than hard assets.
Canada Small Business Financing Program →What the price is actually buying
Under $500,000 you are usually buying a book of customers, a lease and a trained team rather than land or heavy equipment. That shifts diligence: the lease term and its assignment clause, whether the customers follow the owner, and whether the current owner is also the head chef, lead technician or main salesperson, matter more than the asset list.
How buyers assess a small business →General information, not financial or legal advice. Deavo is a listings platform, not a brokerage. Asking price is what the seller has stated, not a valuation.
