Industry
Industrial services companies.
Geography
Alberta first, with interest across Western Canada.
Size
EBITDA of roughly $1 million to $10 million. We will look at strong businesses slightly outside this range.
Business profile
- Established, repeat customer relationships
- A capable field and supervisory team
- A sound safety record and culture
- An owner seeking succession, retirement or a planned step back
Transaction flexibility
- Full share purchase
- A transition period with the owner, sized to the business
- Vendor participation, such as a vendor note or retained interest, where it aligns interests
- Financing arranged deal by deal with senior lenders
We are straightforward about what we can do. Each acquisition is structured and financed on its own merits.
