Sell your business with a tailored, highly confidential, global marketing process designed to create a competitive auction for your company. This requires careful planning, expert selling, and flawless execution. You only get one chance to exit right, and with the average business sale taking 7 to 12 months, having a trusted M&A advisor allows you to continue running your business while increasing your success rate, valuation, and likelihood of closing. 


Buyers and investors seek investment value, forming offers based on their understanding of your company’s worth. A professional M&A process highlights not only the financial value, but also the intangible assets—loyal customers, market positioning, proprietary processes, and goodwill—that make your company unique. 


We’ve spent years analyzing the M&A process from both the seller’s and buyer’s perspectives. Our process is designed to deliver the highest valuation for our clients while maximizing the likelihood of a successful sale. We eliminate miscommunication from the start, conduct thorough preliminary due diligence to identify potential deal challenges, and negotiate key terms before a signed letter of intent (LOI). We also keep backup bidders on standby, maintaining a sense of urgency and ensuring the price target is upheld during post-LOI due diligence 


Our extensive network of cross-border banking partners, advisors, investors, and strategic buyers is always on the lookout for attractive Canadian business opportunities. We maintain regular contact to keep their interest high. Our Confidential Information Memorandums (CIMs) are distributed in both English and foreign languages, capturing the attention of a broad, competitive global market. When you work with us, every option is explored to maximize the sale of your company.
