For some Victoria residents, 2026 may mark the start of a new chapter.
That could mean becoming self employed, taking over an established operation, or investing in a local business with a proven track record.
Across Greater Victoria, a variety of businesses are currently listed for sale, ranging from long-running community fixtures to turnkey food and service operations.
In many cases, these businesses have been built over years or even decades and are now being offered to new owners as current operators retire, relocate, or pursue new opportunities.
Taken together, the listings provide a snapshot of the region’s small business landscape and the types of opportunities available to prospective entrepreneurs.
Below is a closer look at several businesses presently on the market in Greater Victoria, based on publicly available listings.
