Successful acquisitions are value-enhancing and de-risked. We combine valuation advice, creative structuring, astute negotiation tactics, and disciplined execution to close your acquisition on favourable terms.
Unlock
Unlock liquidity without selling equity
Practical tax and estate planning, dividend recapitalizations, asset divestitures, and strategic partnerships can unlock value without selling equity.
Plan for succession, thoughtfully
Realize the value of your hard work and achieve a lasting legacy. We help you plan for succession while positioning future owners and managers for continued success.
Sell when you can, not when you have to
Selling your business for maximum value requires careful planning and preparation, often years in advance. We design and execute a competitive and tax-efficient process that is optimized for your objectives.
Transforming potential into prosperity
We employ a carefully calibrated framework to identify and evaluate investment opportunities. Our playbook for value creation utilizes a thoughtful mix of M&A expertise, operational perspective, industry best practices, and disciplined execution.
