Our primary focus is on building relationships based on trust, integrity and respect. We believe in transparency and open, straightforward communication from beginning to end. We seek to understand and appreciate the business owner’s point of view and strive to structure transactions that find common ground.
We aren’t going anywhere. We are committed to investing our time and energy in companies that we believe will stand the test of time. What does that mean? Simply put, we buy companies with the intention of holding them indefinitely. We think in decades, not years. This also means we are under no pressure to complete transactions on a specific timeline. When you are ready, so are we.
We are proud of our proven ability to execute. It takes a lot of time, energy and money to get a deal across the finish line. You will want to work with a partner who is fair, thorough and committed. When we say we intend to close a transaction, we mean it. And we have the track record to back it up through our individual and joint efforts.
We care deeply about preserving the legacy of the companies we acquire. A business has value and worth. It’s more than just numbers and line items. There is a brand to protect, a history to support and a community to maintain. As a team, we will always appreciate the significant work and entrepreneurial spirit that goes into starting a company from the ground up. We feel a tremendous responsibility not just to remember a business’s origin story, but to honour it by ensuring success moving forward.
We are looking for good quality businesses with a great history, a strong and focussed team and a strong people and quality focussed culture. Other criteria may include:
