How we operate

Balmy Holdings is a privately held investment company based in Toronto's east end. We acquire established, cash-generating businesses from owners planning their next chapter, and we hold and operate them ourselves for the long term.

We are not a fund and not a flipper. Decisions are made directly by the principal, which means a fast, candid process and no layers of intermediaries to work through.

Our interest is in durable businesses with loyal customers and a real operating history — the kind of company an owner has spent years building and wants handed to someone who will respect it.

What we look for

  • Established businesses with a multi-year record of profitability
  • Stable, recurring, or otherwise predictable revenue
  • Annual cash flow (SDE/EBITDA) in the range of $300,000 – $1,000,000
  • Located in the Greater Toronto Area or within roughly three hours' drive
  • An owner genuinely ready to transition — retirement, succession, or a next venture
  • Industry-agnostic, with a preference for established B2B businesses with demonstrable cash flow, ideally profitable from day one. Open to turnaround situations where the price reflects the risk, but not pursuing pre-revenue concepts or speculative plays.

If your business is close but not a perfect fit, reach out anyway.

A straightforward process

Selling a business you built is a significant decision. We aim to make the process straightforward and discreet: a direct conversation, a fair and clearly explained offer, and genuine respect for your employees, your customers, and your reputation. Every conversation is treated as confidential.
