Business acquisition

Take over a company without losing what makes it sell

The accountant validates the numbers, the lawyer the contracts, the tax specialist the structure. Nobody is mandated to verify what brings customers in, or whether it survives the change of owner. That is the part we cover: what the demand engine is really worth before the transaction, what has to transfer at closing, then senior marketing leadership through the first months, so your decisions rest on data rather than on the seller's history.

You're in the right place if…

  • You're shopping for a business
    The financials say what it sold. Not how customers got there, or whether that path follows you.
  • The deal closes soon
    Accounts, data, consent and agreements only transfer if someone names them before closing.
  • The seller leaves with the manual
    What was never written down leaves the company on closing day, not at the end of the handover period.
  • You've just taken over
    Everything gets decided at once, and each change makes the next one harder to evaluate.
  • Everything runs through one channel
    A Google listing, a referrer, a customer list: when demand hangs by a thread, that thread gets secured before anything else.
  • The revenue doesn't explain itself
    The sales are there, but nothing says how much comes from the brand, the price or one big relationship.
  • You're financing the purchase
    Lender, investor or vendor take-back: everyone wants a growth plan they can defend, not an intention.
  • The team is waiting to know
    The people in place know how to execute. What goes missing after a change of owner is the judgment call: what to keep, what to cut, what to pay for.

Frequently asked

The questions we get most before kicking off.

When should we be involved?
Ideally before closing, while the seller still has an interest in answering. After the transaction it works too, but some answers have already left with them.
Does this replace my accountant's due diligence?
No. We cover what it doesn't: acquisition channels, customer data, the brand and the relationships. The financials stay your accountant's ground, and our findings sit next to theirs.
Should everything change after an acquisition?
Rarely, and never right away. We put measurement in place first, keep the brand for a full cycle, then change one thing at a time so you know what produced what.
Why get support for this?
Because the market numbers are clear. According to Quebec's business transfer observatory, the survival rate reaches 87.5% for supported transfers.
How is it billed?
In stages. The pre-transaction review is a fixed mandate, with a written deliverable and a date. What follows is monthly and lightens as you need it less.
