Building what comes next for Québec businesses.

No. The first meeting is confidential, free and with no obligation. We listen to your goals, take a high-level look at your numbers and tell you frankly whether a transaction makes sense now, later or not at all. A mandate only begins once an engagement letter setting out the services and fees has been signed.

Yes, it is the foundation of our work. As a CPA firm, we are bound by professional secrecy under our code of ethics. No buyer receives any information without signing a confidentiality agreement, and the process is run so that your employees, customers and suppliers are not informed before the right time.

We mainly work with profitable Québec businesses with EBITDA of $1M or more. That is the size where a structured process, with several buyers competing, creates the most value. Is your business smaller or still growing? Let's talk anyway: we can help you prepare for a sale or point you to the right advisor.

Our fees are mainly success-based. An initial retainer gets the work started and most of the fee is payable at closing, out of the sale proceeds. The success fee follows a sliding scale: the higher the value of the business, the lower the percentage. The retainer is credited against the final fee, and everything is confirmed in writing before work begins.
