Problem
Business owners seeking to sell often face limited access to qualified, serious buyers, while buyers struggle to find confidential, vetted opportunities that match their acquisition criteria. The process is typically fragmented, public, and time‑consuming, leading to mismatched deals and prolonged transitions.
Solution
Heirly offers a private, AI‑driven platform that connects verified sellers, qualified buyers, and trusted advisors in the Canadian market. Users complete a focused questionnaire, after which AI builds structured profiles and matches parties based on real market data and stated intent. Only the most relevant, intent‑aligned opportunities are presented, keeping business details confidential until a match is made. The platform’s vetted network ensures all participants have demonstrated seriousness and professional credibility, reducing friction and accelerating the acquisition process. Advisors are integrated into the workflow, providing support throughout the transaction while remaining visible only to relevant parties.
Target Audience
Heirly serves established Canadian business owners planning a succession, serious investors and operators looking to acquire cash‑flowing businesses, and professional advisors who facilitate M&A transactions.
