Buying retail businesses in Richmond: 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 Richmond.

The municipal business licence

Richmond's Business Licence Division issues a general business licence that most businesses operating in Richmond 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. On top of it, Richmond licenses “Night Market Licence” and “Mobile Food Vendor” specifically, so a retail business here usually carries a second, category-level licence as well.

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 Richmond that is confirmed before closing rather than after, through the office linked below.

City of Richmond — Development Applications Department
