Vancouver's Buyer-Side Acquisition Firm

Why BizBuy.ca — and Why Ali Sedighi

Most business brokers represent sellers. BizBuy.ca represents buyers — only buyers. Ali Sedighi, MBA brings 17+ years of operator experience, a deep BC acquisition network, and a fee structure that rewards efficiency over drawn-out processes.

What Makes BizBuy.ca Different

Six reasons serious buyers choose BizBuy.ca over a traditional business broker.

Buyer-Side Only

BizBuy.ca never takes a seller listing. We represent buyers exclusively — our incentives are 100% aligned with getting you the best price and terms, not the fastest close.

Reverse Lehman Fees

Our fee percentage decreases as deal size grows. First $1M at 10%, $1M–$2M at 8%, $2M–$3M at 6%, above $3M at 4%. The bigger the deal, the better the rate.

Ali Sedighi's Network

17+ years building relationships with Vancouver brokers, M&A lawyers, CPAs, BDC advisors, and off-market owners. Deals surface here before they go public.

Operator-Level Due Diligence

Ali has built and operated businesses himself. He stress-tests financials, lease terms, key-man risk, customer concentration, and technology stack — not just the numbers on a page.

MBA + Real-World Experience

Academic rigour (MBA, Simon Fraser) combined with 17+ years operating and advising on SMBs across BC. Not just a credential — a framework that produces better deals.

No Lock-In

No long-term retainer traps. BizBuy.ca engagements are structured around getting your deal done — when it's closed, the engagement ends. No recurring fee drains.

Reverse Lehman Fee Structure

Our fees decrease as deal size grows — aligning our incentives with yours to close the right deal, not the biggest one.
