The Step-by-Step Process of Selling Your Canadian Business
Comprehensive
Business Valuation
Many owners either undervalue or overvalue their companies, leading to missed opportunities or failed negotiations.
We use an in-depth analysis of your historical financials, market position, and growth potential to present you with a realistic, data-driven valuation. We also factor in intangible assets—like brand reputation and industry positioning—to provide a full picture of your worth.
Preparing Financial &
Operational Due Diligence
Poorly organized financial statements or gaps in operational documentation can erode buyer confidence.
Our team conducts a meticulous review of your financial records, standard operating procedures, and compliance documents. We then help you compile clear, compelling materials to streamline the buyer’s due diligence process and minimize requests for information.
Crafting a
Go-to-Market Strategy
Attracting reputable buyers who align with your business goals is no small feat.
We leverage ourpotential buyers, including private equity firms, strategic industry buyers, and high-net-worth individuals. We market your business through targeted channels—while maintaining strict confidentiality—and highlight the unique value propositions that set your company apart.
Managing Buyer
Inquiries & Negotiations
Negotiating offers involves balancing emotions, deal structures, and future strategic direction—often under tight deadlines.
Our M&A experts lead the dialogue with potential buyers, focusing on your top priorities. Whether it’s maximizing purchase price, ensuring favorable terms, or managing earn-outs and retention periods, we advocate on your behalf to secure the best possible outcome.
Navigating Legal
& Tax Complexities
Complex legal agreements and tax implications can overwhelm even the most seasoned business owners.
Working closely with a team of specialized accountants, tax advisors, and legal experts, we help structure deals to minimize your tax burden and meet regulatory requirements. We coordinate the entire process to keep the transaction on track.
Closing the Deal
& Transition
Getting from final agreement to closing day can involve unexpected hurdles, such as financing delays or unforeseen buyer contingencies.
We proactively address any outstanding items, oversee final paperwork, and maintain open communication lines among all parties. Post-closing, we guide you through the transition period to ensure a smooth handover of operations, employees, and customer relationships.
