Takeover support
Flexible support, at your pace, from the first question through the 24 months after purchase. Open to everyone.
Starting from scratch is long, risky, and often solitary. A business already in operation has clients, revenue, and a team. Businesses that are taken over survive at 80% after five years, versus 57% for new ones.
You choose your entry point: a call to validate the project, a watch to explore the market, certification to become financeable, then support after the purchase. Each module stands alone.
Free
Description
30 minutes to validate your profile, explore whether a takeover is right for you, and identify the best entry point — sourcing, certification, or both.
How this helps you
You leave with a clear assessment: whether a takeover suits you, where to start, and what may be financed or subsidized.
From $500
Description
We identify businesses for sale against your criteria — sector, size, territory, budget. You decide which ones to explore. Cancellable at any time, available without certification.
How this helps you
You stop searching alone in the noise of the market. You see real targets, at the right scale, and you move forward only when a business interests you.
From $1,500
Description
When a target interests you: preliminary valuation, due diligence, financial structuring, and transaction support. Piece by piece, only as needed.
How this helps you
You avoid buying blind. You know what the business is worth, which risks are hidden, and how to finance the purchase.
From $8,500
Description
The training that combines 100 hours of business-takeover certification, AI built into every module, the health of the person who leads, and a co-takeover model (2 to 6 people). Nine modules plus an AI foundation module — without an M0 to M9 catalogue on this page.
How this helps you
You become financeable: analyze a target, finance, negotiate, secure, and lead. Certification includes a 25% discount on all NIYA services. Goal: bring the remaining cost down to $1,500 through institutional partnerships in development.
From $1,000/month
Description
After the purchase: 100-day plan, human transition, finances, and growth. Optional monthly support, duration of your choosing, eligible to be included in acquisition financing. Ten hours of support per month.
How this helps you
Taking over is not finishing. You secure operations, then you master them, then you grow — without carrying everything alone for the first 24 months.
Tight budget? Several grant programs can cover a large share of these costs. NIYA aims to bring certification down to $1,500 remaining through institutional partnerships in development.
Amounts in Canadian dollars. Taxes extra.
