Frequently Asked Questions
How do I reserve an MSB?
Contact us for current inventory. Once you’ve selected a tier and (under NDA) reviewed specific company details, a refundable deposit secures the MSB while you complete due diligence and finalize the share purchase agreement. Reservations typically convert to closing within 1–2 business days.
Can I see specific company details before purchase?
Yes — under NDA. Public-facing inventory shows tiers and capabilities only (so we don’t disclose seller-specific information). Once you express serious interest and sign an NDA, we share: corporation name, FINTRAC MSB registration number, incorporation province, operating history, banking status, and full compliance documentation.
What’s the price difference between Standard and Premium tiers?
Pricing varies by current market conditions. As a guide, Premium MSB+RPAA is meaningfully more than Standard (because RPAA registration adds significant compliance value), and Enterprise tier is more again (because of established banking and history). Specific pricing is shared during initial consultation.
Are there any MSBs with established banking?
Yes — our Enterprise tier includes active Canadian banking relationships that transfer with ownership. Standard and Premium tiers come with banking introductions to MSB-friendly Canadian banks (a few mid-size institutions actively bank MSBs). Banking is the #1 buyer concern, and we address it directly in every transaction.
Is your inventory really always 10+?
Yes. We maintain a minimum of 10 FINTRAC-registered Canadian MSBs at all times. As inventory sells, we add new pre-registered companies to the pipeline. We’ve maintained this minimum since our launch in partnership with Estrella Fintech M&A. If we’re ever below 10, we publicly disclose it.
Can foreign buyers acquire from your inventory?
Yes. There is no Canadian citizenship or residency requirement for MSB ownership. The MSB itself must be a Canadian corporation, but shareholders can be any nationality. We routinely close transfers with US, EU, UK, Latin American, and Asian buyers.
