Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition

Make the right acquisition, in a timely fashion at the right price

Over the next five years approximately 120,000 Canadian businesses will come up for sale outside the family or management. Entrepreneurship through Acquisition (ETA) is the path to becoming an entrepreneur by buying and growing an established business.


For individuals with business skills and a desire to make a meaningful impact, this can be less risky than starting a new business around an unproven product or service.


ETA is typically pursued later in a person’s professional life after they gain operational experience and a more robust professional network. Over the past two decades, ETA has become a more well-trodden career path.


Entrepreneurs engage the Shaughnessy Group by outsourcing through our partnership approach, their Acquistion's and Mergers to reduce their fixed cost, freeing up their time by collaborating with us on their targeted buy-side search.


We take an active role in supporting the next generation of entrepreneurs, leveraging our experience, knowledge, networks, technology, and capital resources, investing our time and in selective situations our fees.


From acquisition execution, debt advisory, seller transition, operating expertise, leadership succession, entrepreneurial executive coaching and mentoring required to research, target, source, structure, fund and acquire, to operate, grow, and exit lower-middle market businesses.
