Solutions for Business Owners

Are you in the market to buy or sell a business and want to be sure of its value? Are you looking to maximize the value of your business in preparation for its sale? For sound advice and guidance in negotiations or in the transfer of a business to a related party, I have the expertise you are looking for!

I can help you determine the value of your business or of one you would like to acquire.

I am a FCPA, FCA and CBV with over 20 years of experience in business valuation. Since 1999, I have appraised over 1,000 SMEs, many of which were prepared for the acquisition or sale of businesses.

It is highly recommended that you call in a Chartered Business Valuator if you are involved in any of the following situations:

  • Business transfer;
  • Reorientation of business activities;
  • Acquisition or sale of a business;
  • Business merger;
  • Tax reorganization;
  • Financial restructuring or corporate turnaround for refinancing purposes;
  • Addition or withdrawal of associates, partners or shareholders;
  • Business succession planning;
  • Differences of opinion or disputes among shareholders or partners;
  • Establishment of the appropriate amount of insurance coverage for a shareholder or partnership agreement;
  • Separation or divorce of one of the business owners.

No matter the reason or context, a valuation of your business or of the one you plan to acquire will provide vital information to help you make important decisions.

I’m here to make sure you are standing on solid ground!
