Nowhere does it seem to specifically mention or address an offer to buy the recipient's business in the CASL guidelines. In fact, I think you could question whether approaching someone via email to buy their business is even considered a CEM (commercial electronic message). Regardless, if you found the business owner's email on the internet somewhere then approaching them is fair game.
