Know What Your
Business is Worth.
Whether you're planning to sell, seeking financing, or want a clear picture of your business's market value — Mainland Commercial Group provides professional business valuations and full-service brokerage across Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley.
Your Business is
Your Biggest Asset.
Most business owners have the majority of their net worth tied up in their business — yet many have never had a formal valuation. Understanding your business's market value is essential for smart decision-making, whether you're planning an exit, bringing on investors, or simply building long-term wealth.
Our team brings commercial real estate expertise together with business brokerage knowledge to give you a complete picture — not just what your business earns, but what it's worth in today's Metro Vancouver and Fraser Valley market.
Planning to Sell
Know your number before you negotiate. Sellers who have a formal valuation close faster and at better prices.
Buying Out a Partner
Establish a fair, defensible value to protect both parties in a buyout or restructuring.
Securing Financing
Lenders require documented business value. A professional appraisal strengthens your financing application.
Estate & Succession Planning
Ensure accurate business value is reflected in your estate plan, shareholder agreement, or family succession.

Business Valuation FAQ
How much does a business valuation cost in Metro Vancouver?
A professional business valuation from Mainland Commercial Group starts with a complimentary consultation. Formal appraisal fees vary based on business size, complexity, and purpose. Contact us at 778-564-3300 for a no-obligation discussion.
What methods are used to value a business in BC?
We use three primary valuation approaches: the Income Approach (capitalizing or discounting future earnings), the Market Approach (comparing recent sales of similar businesses), and the Asset Approach (net asset value). The most appropriate method depends on your business type and the purpose of the valuation.
How long does a business valuation take?
A standard business valuation typically takes 2–4 weeks from the time all financial documents are received. For time-sensitive situations such as an active sale or financing requirement, we can often expedite the process.
When should I get a business valuation?
Common triggers include: planning to sell your business, buying out a partner, estate planning, divorce proceedings, securing financing, or simply wanting to understand what your business is worth. We recommend getting a valuation 12–18 months before a planned sale.
