Bringing Deals Across the Finish Line
Acquisition Criteria
We start with the basics: located in Greater Vancouver, generating $1,000,000–$2,500,000 of profit, and in B2B industries.
From there, we look for five essentials in order start a process:
Sales-Led Business: Revenue is driven by relationships.
Growth Potential: There is a clear path or hypothesis for growth.
Competitive Advantage: The business has a clear differentiation in the market.
Real Estate: Being able to acquire property alongside the business is a valuable bonus.
Seller: Has a clear and compelling reason to exit.
If these boxes are checked, everything else can usually be worked out.
From Offer to Close
Proof Of Funds: Documentation is available and can be provided under NDA to any broker upon request.
Comfort Letters: We provide comfort letters from our financing partners with our LOIs and EOIs, giving sellers added confidence in the deal structure and our readiness to close.
Experience: We’ve closed multiple seven-figure deals and know how to get them across the finish line. Because we make the decisions ourselves—no committees, no investors—we can move quickly while running a professional process.
Ideal Deal Structures
Not Keen on Earn-outs: We avoid earn-outs as they can push for short-term results over long-term business health. We prefer clean, fair deals that pay you promptly so you can move forward with confidence.
Equity Contribution: We’re investing a significant portion of our own money. It’s our capital—not a fund or pile of debt—which shows we’re serious and disciplined, without overloading the business.
Vendor Take Back: Our VTBs come with a strong interest rate. This allows sellers to earn consistent income while moving on to their next adventure, without the need to touch their nest egg.
Bank Financing: We have engaged Crete Capital (www.cretecapital.com), a company with deep experience in acquisition financing. Crete will run a competitive RFP with all the major Canadian banks to secure financing.
