Description

A fully licensed, fully compliant Canadian CIRO Mutual Fund Dealer based in Ontario is available for acquisition — the only platform of its kind currently being offered for sale anywhere in Canada. The Scarcity Case Building a CIRO Mutual Fund Dealer from scratch requires an estimated $2.64M to $3.62M in capital and 24 to 36 months of regulatory work — with no guarantee of approval. This platform is already built, already approved, and operational from Day 1 of the new owner's tenure. There is currently no comparable platform available for sale anywhere in Canada, making this a genuinely once-in-a-cycle acquisition opportunity for operators seeking immediate Canadian wealth management regulatory infrastructure. What Is Operational The platform holds full CIRO Mutual Fund Dealer authorisation covering investment advisory services and the distribution and administration of mutual funds across Canada. VieFUND and FundSERV are fully operational — no technology integration required. Open architecture provides access to virtually all major Canadian mutual fund providers, with institutional pricing of approximately 1.50% gross AUA revenue compared to the 0.80–1.00% industry standard. Managed Solutions are available. CIPF coverage, FIB insurance, and an independent audit framework are all in place. Build vs Buy Building from scratch means 24–36 months to launch, uncertain regulatory approval, $2.64M–$3.62M+ in capital, no technology integrations, no fund agreements, and independently arranged CIPF, insurance, and financing. Acquiring this platform means Day 1 operational status, an already CIRO-approved licence, capital included in the price, VieFUND and FundSERV operational, open architecture across all providers, CIPF and FIB already in place, a lender offering up to 100% financing, and a change of control approvable in approximately 30 days. Regulatory Transition The CIRO change of control process is estimated to be approvable in approximately 30 days — significantly faster than most comparable regulated jurisdictions. The seller is committed to providing structured knowledge transfer and transition support throughout the process. Financing A qualified lender is already in place and ready to provide financing — with up to 100% of the acquisition price available to qualified buyers. Multiple financing structures are possible and the seller is open to discussion with serious buyers. This is the financial services equivalent of acquiring a fully operational, fully approved regulated platform on the day it opens — with no build time, no regulatory risk, and no technology delay. Full documentation, financial statements, and due diligence materials are available to verified buyers under NDA.
