A transaction practice run by an operator, not a broker's desk.
Vancouver.Financial is where Ali Sedighi's team advises owners and investors on buying, financing, valuing, selling and exiting businesses in British Columbia. 19 years of building companies sit behind every opinion.
What this practice is
Most people meet the business-sale industry at the worst moment: when they are tired, under-prepared and talking to someone paid only on closing. We built this practice to start earlier. We value the business honestly, improve it before it is marketed, find buyers who can actually close, and structure deals that survive diligence. For buyers and investors we do the mirror image: thesis, search, diligence, structure, integration.
The practice sits inside a wider firm. BizSell.ca handles brokerage and sell-side representation. SAZ runs strategy and AI engagements for larger companies. canadian.consulting covers growth and operations. vancouver.finance builds the finance function, and vancouver.team supplies the executives and departments a company needs after a deal. One founder, one phone number, one team.
How we work
- Numbers before opinions. We read the financials, the pipeline and the operating data before we tell you what the business is worth or what to do.
- Written, every time. Valuations, plans and deal terms are delivered as documents you can hand to your lawyer, your CPA, your lender or your family.
- Alongside licensed professionals. Lawyers draft and advise on contracts, CPAs handle tax and assurance, regulated immigration consultants handle immigration matters. We coordinate, we do not substitute.
- Honest fit. If the business is not ready to sell, or the deal is not worth doing, we say so on the first call.
- Confidential by default. NDAs on request, and no public listing without your approval.
The team
Ali leads every engagement personally. Behind him is a bench of more than thirty specialists distributed across Canada who join by function, so a seller gets a valuation analyst and a CRO specialist, and a buyer gets a diligence lead and an operations consultant, rather than a fixed crew billing by the hour.
Start with a confidential conversation.
Tell Ali where the business is and what you want to happen next. You leave with a straight read on value, timing and the two or three moves that matter, whether or not we work together.
