Advisory Services
Our Reach
We exclusively represent sellers of privately held companies valued between $5MM and $50MM. Our firm maintains one of the largest networks of qualified family offices, private equity groups, strategic acquirers, and high-net-worth investors actively pursuing lower to middle-market opportunities in Ontario. On average, our clients receive multiple offers per transaction.
Initial Engagement
Preparing a business for sale typically takes two to five years. Our commitment is to working in close collaboration with your existing advisors—your lawyer, wealth advisor, and banker—well in advance of a transaction. Together, we help identify and resolve financial, HR, and operational challenges to maximize the value of your exit. We sit on your side of the negotiating table and will prepare you with what to expect as we proceed through to execution of our strategy.
Process
Prior to initiating buyer outreach, we conduct a comprehensive pre-market preparation phase that includes normalizing and validating financial statements, developing a detailed understanding of the business model, and preparing a professional investment memorandum. This disciplined upfront diligence improves buyer confidence, results in more credible offers, and reduces execution risk later in the process—contributing to our historical closing rate in excess of 95%.
Results
Our involvement extends well beyond offer acceptance and is a key differentiator from traditional M&A advisors. By completing meaningful preliminary diligence and transaction preparation in advance for review by legal and accounting advisors, we reduce inefficiencies, lower professional fees, and facilitate a more efficient closing process.
