Searching for a business for sale in Metro Vancouver is one of the most common ways entrepreneurs, newcomers, and investors enter the Canadian market. Many people actively look for established businesses for sale in Vancouver and surrounding cities to avoid the risks of starting from zero and to step into an operation with existing customers, revenue, and systems.
At StartCan Business Consulting, we work directly with buyers, sellers, and investors to turn these searches into successful, well-matched business transactions.
Metro Vancouver offers strong demand across multiple cities, each with unique opportunities:
Vancouver (including Marpole, East Van, Mount Pleasant, Downtown, Kitsilano)
Burnaby (Metrotown, Brentwood, Edmonds)
Surrey (Guildford, Fleetwood, Newton, South Surrey)
Each city attracts different business types based on population, zoning, and customer needs.
Some business categories are consistently in high demand across Metro Vancouver. These include:
Daycare and Childcare Businesses
Licensed daycares
Group childcare centers
Before-and-after school programs
Childcare businesses remain one of the most sought-after opportunities due to ongoing demand from working families.
Hair salons
Beauty and esthetics studios
Nail salons
Barbershops
These businesses often come with repeat clients, trained staff, and strong local branding.
Auto repair shops
Mechanic garages
Tire and detailing services
Well-run mechanical businesses are attractive due to steady demand and long-term customer loyalty.
Home care and personal support services
Senior care-related businesses
Wellness clinics and support services
These businesses benefit from an aging population and consistent community need.
