How It Works

Three steps to context
you didn't have before.

No calls. No pressure. Just a clearer picture of your business.

01 / 03

Tell us about your business

Industry, region, revenue, net incomeiYour profit after all expenses, interest, and taxes as shown on your financial statements., and a few other numbers. You don't need your EBITDAiYour earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. — we'll calculate it.

02 / 03

Tell us what you think it's worth

Your instinct matters. We capture your estimate alongside where you're at in the sales cycle.

03 / 03

Get the market picture

You see two ranges: what businesses in your sector actually sold for, and what other owners in your industry think their companies are worth. If you like what you see, we can help connect you with buyers.

Why Clariva

Most owners have never gone through this process.

Business owners spend years building valuable companies, but very few have explored private business valuations, tried to find a buyer, or compared their business to similar companies.

Clariva helps business owners understand what companies like theirs may be worth based on private market transaction data, industry benchmarks, and business valuation trends across Canada, while also helping connect interested owners with potential buyers.

If you ever decide to explore a sale, raise capital, or speak with buyers, you’ll walk into those conversations with a much better sense of where you stand.

Acquisitions are hard. Getting operators and buyers on the same page early removes a lot of friction from the process.
