At VI Business Brokers, our mission goes beyond helping clients buy and sell businesses. We are building a long-term vision focused on investing in, operating, and growing a portfolio of strong local businesses on Vancouver Island.
Introducing the VI Business Buying Group.
A concept designed to support local business owners while creating a scalable, efficient, and collaborative business ecosystem.
What Is the VI Business Buying Group?
The VI Business Buying Group is a future-focused business investment model designed around ownership and operation of multiple local service-based businesses.
Think of it like a REIT but for businesses.
Our focus is primarily on trades and service companies, particularly those connected to the construction and property services industry, such as:
- Electrical
- Plumbing
- Framing
- Flooring
- Maintenance
- And many more related services
The goal is to create a connected network of businesses that work together, supported by a centralized team and infrastructure.
A Centralized Support System for Local Businesses
One of the biggest challenges small business owners face is managing everything outside their core trade. The VI Business Buying Group aims to solve that by providing:
- Centralized accounting and bookkeeping
- Marketing and lead generation
- Invoicing and administration
- Purchasing and supply coordination
- Financial oversight and reporting
- Shared storage and warehouse solutions
This structure allows business owners and operators to focus on what they do best and that is delivering quality service while benefiting from scale, efficiency, and shared resources.
A Franchise-Like Model Without Losing Local Identity
The VI Business Buying Group can be thought of as franchise-inspired, but built specifically for local, independent Vancouver Island businesses.
Unlike traditional franchises:
- Businesses retain their local identity
- Owners benefit from shared systems and support
- Growth is collaborative, not restrictive
The goal is to strengthen local businesses and not replace them.
Built on Real Operating Experience
It’s important to note that this vision is grounded in first-hand experience.
VI Business Brokers currently owns and operates its own businesses. This practical, local knowledge helps shape how the VI Business Buying Group is being designed based on what actually works for Vancouver Island markets and business owners.
