Sell your business. Keep every dollar.

Loon is Canada's confidential marketplace for selling a business. Free for owners, always. Buyers pay the fees.

Three promises

Confidential

Your listing is anonymous. You approve every buyer before they learn who you are, and every reveal is logged.

Free for owners

No listing fee, no retainer, no success fee, no exclusivity. You keep 100% of your sale price.

Real buyers

Every buyer has a profile, a financing plan, and a verification tier you can see before you say yes.

Real counts, from day one

Loon is new. These numbers start at zero and update as owners and buyers join — we don't fake traction.

  3. Approve your buyers

    Review each buyer's card and decide who gets through. Deal directly and keep every dollar.

For buyers

  1. Set your buy box

    Industries, provinces, size, and earnings range. Your feed filters to what fits.

  2. Request conversations

    Introduce yourself to owners directly. No broker in between.

  3. Unlock the CIM

    On owner approval, accept the NDA and read real financials early.

What buyers see

Every listing is an anonymous teaser: enough to evaluate the business, nothing that identifies it.
