Buying a retail business in Maple Ridge: what is different here

Licensing, inspection and land-use rules are municipal, so they change at the city limits — these are the ones that attach to retail businesses in Maple Ridge.

The municipal business licence

City of Maple Ridge issues a general business licence that most businesses operating in Maple Ridge need. It is issued to the operator, not to the premises, so it does not come with the business — a buyer applies in their own name, and the application is worth starting before closing rather than after. Beyond it the city licenses by category — “Non-Resident Business Licence”, “Home Occupation Business Licence”, “Commercial Business Licence” and 2 more — none of which adds a second licence for a retail business.

Confirming the use is actually permitted

A business operating today is not proof the use is legally permitted — non-conforming uses, expired variances and conditions attached to a previous owner all survive a sale quietly. In Maple Ridge that is confirmed before closing rather than after, through the office linked below.
