Internet Businesses for sale in Canada

Separate subscriptions, advertising, affiliate commissions, lead sales and one-off purchases. Compare gross margin, renewal behaviour and owner effort for each stream so the headline revenue does not hide a weak core model.

Review at least two years of channel-level sessions, conversions and acquisition costs. Confirm how much traffic depends on one search ranking, paid campaign, referral partner or social account that could disappear.

List every domain, code repository, database, trademark, social account, analytics property and content licence. Confirm ownership, renewal dates, access credentials and whether contractors validly assigned their intellectual property.

Rebuild monthly recurring revenue from customer-level billing data, then measure churn, failed payments, discounts and cohort retention. Exclude annual plans that were collected upfront but are unlikely to renew.

Confirm the transaction structure and applicable privacy law before data is disclosed. Review customer notices, purposes, safeguards and retention practices; a transaction primarily selling personal information does not receive PIPEDA's business-transaction exception.

Audit how each address was collected, consent wording, unsubscribe records and existing-business-relationship dates. CASL may preserve relationships in a genuine business sale, but purchasing an email list alone does not transfer express consents.
