Sell your manufacturing business in Burnaby

Canadian manufacturing has been quietly hot for M&A since 2020. Reshoring, supply-chain de-risking, and PE consolidation have driven multiples up 1–2 turns. Well-run manufacturers with $1M+ EBITDA, recurring customer relationships, and documented systems sell at 4x–7x EBITDA — sometimes higher for specialty / IP-protected products.

How we sell your Burnaby manufacturing business

Business Valuation

Get an accurate, market-based valuation of your business — the foundation of every successful sale.

Exit Planning

Build value deliberately for the 1–5 years before sale so you exit at a premium, not a fire-sale.

Due Diligence

Manage the buyer's due diligence so it moves at our pace — not theirs.

Negotiation

Price is one variable. Terms — earn-outs, working capital, indemnity, escrow — often matter more.

Tax Structuring

The right deal structure can save you 15–30% in tax — far more than fee differences across advisors.

Buy-Side

Find and acquire the right business — without overpaying.
