We bring buyers and sellers together with data, transparency, and the advisors who know the business best.
Most owners sell once. The people they already trust, including their accountant, their lawyer, and their financial planner, become the bridge to a qualified buyer.

Succession focus

Your security is our top priority.
Selling a business means sharing your financials, contracts and the details that matter most. We built Sellvara so that information stays protected, and stays yours.
Encrypted and kept in Canada
Confidential documents and listing details are encrypted with Sellvara's own keys, on top of our providers' encryption, and stored in Canada.
You decide who sees what
Nothing confidential is shared until a buyer accepts the NDA, verifies their funds and you approve them. Access ends after 90 days unless you renew it, and you can revoke it at any time.
Every document is traceable
Each download is stamped with the buyer's name, email and a reference number, recorded, and limited, so a leaked copy can be traced to the person who downloaded it.
Built for the owners who built something, and for the advisors who guide them out.
Selling a business you spent decades building shouldn't mean starting over with a stranger. Sellvara keeps the people who know it best at the table, from first valuation to final signature.
