Buy Commercial Property in Ontario — Gas Stations, Machine Shops, CNC & Business Sales

What you're really buying: fuel sales volume, convenience-store margin, lottery and tobacco revenue, and the environmental condition of the site. Deals almost always include an Asset Purchase Agreement plus either a Real Estate purchase or a long-term land lease assignment.

Diligence that saves deals:

• Environmental Phase I report (minimum); Phase II if the Phase I flags concerns. Non-negotiable with underground tanks.
• Fuel-supply contract — brand (Esso, Shell, Petro-Canada, independent), term remaining, assignability, volume commitments.
• Last 24 months of audited financials + POS reports, cross-checked against fuel-supplier shipment records.
• Lottery and tobacco license transferability — these take 30–90 days with AGCO and can kill a deal.
• Labour — are staff staying? Are wages at market? Any WSIB claims open?

We have an active list of Ontario gas stations for sale, including off-market opportunities not on MLS. Call (905) 699-6700 to talk through budget and territory.

Most quality CNC shops, machine shops and tool-and-die operations change hands off-market. Owners don't want staff or customers finding out early. We maintain a quiet list across the GTA, Hamilton, Kitchener–Waterloo, London and Sarnia industrial corridors.

What we help you underwrite:

• Equipment list, age, and residual value — a CNC shop is usually 40–60% equipment value.
• Customer concentration — any single customer over 25% of revenue is a red flag.
• Skilled-trades staffing — the business is only sellable if the machinists stay.
• Real estate ownership vs. lease — owning the building is often the better long-term play.

We handle restaurant resales, franchise transfers, shisha lounges, and specialty retail. For regulated categories (shisha, cannabis-adjacent retail, child care), the regulatory review is as important as the financials.

Ask us for the municipal zoning + health-unit check before you write an offer.

For straight commercial investment — strip plazas, industrial condos, small apartment buildings — we provide full underwriting: cap rate benchmarks, lease abstract review, vacancy risk, and exit scenarios.
