Buying a business services business in Montreal: 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 business services businesses in Montreal.
The municipal business licence
Montreal's borough permit counter (occupancy permit issued under each borough's urban planning by-law) issues a general business licence that most businesses operating in Montreal 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 — “Occupancy permit for a bar or restaurant (must be obtained before a liquor permit will be issued)”, “Occupancy permit for a short-term rental (tourist accommodation) establishment”, “Commercial sign permit” and 1 more — none of which adds a second licence for a business services business.
Montreal business licensing →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 Montreal that is confirmed before closing rather than after, through the office linked below.
Ville de Montréal — Urban Planning (zoning determined per borough) →General information, not legal or tax advice — rules change and the authorities above are the current source. Deavo is a listings platform, not a brokerage.
