Ontario is Canada's largest economy, anchored by Toronto's finance and technology sectors, Ottawa's public and tech economy, and a broad manufacturing and services base. Deal activity runs deep across every sector. Every Ontario business listed on ExitToBuy is verified — financials, ownership and financing eligibility reviewed — before buyers ever see it, with deals from $250,000 to $25 million.
Deal activity concentrates in Hamilton, London, Mississauga and Ottawa. Demand runs strongest across professional and home services and financial services, and across the province lower-mid-market companies change hands as founders retire, relocate or move on.
