How we sell your Ottawa professional services 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.

Confidentiality

Your employees, customers and competitors learn last — that's the foundation of every deal we run.

Transition Support

Help your buyer succeed — protect your earn-out, reputation, and vendor takeback note.

Succession Planning

Transition your business to the next generation — or to a third party when family isn't the answer.

Tax Structuring

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