Exit / Divest / Retire / Transition / Mergers and Acquisitions

We sell your company by conducting a professionally tailored, highly confidential and global marketing process designed to create a competitive auction for your company. This requires careful planning, professional selling, and thorough execution, as you get only one opportunity to do it right. With the average business sale taking 7 to 12 months to complete, having a trusted M&A advisor allows you to continue running your business and increases your rate of success, valuation achieved and likelihood of closing.

Buyers and investors actively work to uncover investment value. They then base their offers on their best understanding of those values. A professional M&A sales process goes beyond financial value and highlights the intangible values of your company such as loyal customers, market positioning, proprietary processes, and goodwill.

We have spent a great deal of time analyzing the M&A process from both a seller's perspective as well as a buyer. We have crafted our process to not only yield the highest valuation for our clients, but also to ensure they receive the highest probability of closing. This is achieved by ending miscommunication from day one, conducting thorough preliminary due diligence to uncover and get ahead of deal "hair" and firmly negotiating key deal terms prior to a signed letter of intent (LOI). In addition, we keep our back-up bidders on standby to keep an urgency of closing and to keep the price target intact during post-LOI confirmatory due diligence.

Finally, we keep an extensive network of cross-border banking partners, advisors, investors and strategic buyers who we actively stay in touch with on a regular basis due to their heightened interests in attractive Canadian-based private market opportunities. To this extent, our Confidential Information Memorandums (CIM’s) go to market in both English and foreign languages to garner direct interest from an incredibly competitive and expansive market in other continents. In the end, every stone is unturned when selling your company.
