Acquire digital marketing agencies with recurring retainer revenue across Canada. BizBuy.ca provides hands-on buyer-side consulting for digital agencies acquisitions throughout Burnaby and Metro Vancouver.
Digital marketing agencies are one of the more acquirable professional-service categories — recurring retainer revenue, scalable with the right systems, and often owner-dependent in ways that can be remediated. The key diligence questions are client concentration, key-person risk, and whether retainer revenue is contractually locked or just habitual.
Burnaby is the second-largest city in Metro Vancouver and one of the strongest SMB acquisition markets in BC. Lower lease costs than Vancouver, strong commercial density (Metrotown, Brentwood, Lougheed Town Centre, Edmonds), and excellent residential density support a wide range of acquisition targets.
Vancouver has a strong density of digital agencies serving local and national clients. Many are 5-15 person shops built on founder relationships and verbal retainers — significant upside for a buyer who can institutionalise the sales and delivery process. Victoria and Kelowna have growing boutique agency markets.
