Our Approach & Process

Our Approach

We know that selling a business is a very personal decision.


The successful sale of a business can be rewarding and may mark the culmination of years of hard work. But it can also be a complex and emotional process that requires a deep understanding of your personal and professional goals. You might also have questions about the future of your business and impacts on stakeholders.

As you are considering the sale of your business, Canoe Capital endeavors to be more than just a potential buyer: we hope that you regard us as a trusted partner and advisor. We believe in developing personal relationships built on a foundation of respect and integrity. With an understanding of what is important to you, we aim to help you make a distinctive and lasting improvement in your life and legacy. We want to start a long-term relationship, not just a business transaction.

We invite you to learn more about what differentiates us.

 

Canoe Capital is not a private equity fund nor a strategic acquirer. This results in meaningful differences and (we believe) superior outcomes for you and your business.

 

Our Process

We are transparent and aim to close deals as quickly as possible to respect your time and ours.

Overall process can take 6 - 12 weeks depending on company and transaction complexity.


With just our Founder & Partner, Nick Rowe, leading the process, we move nimbly and respond to your needs. We do not have formalized boards nor committees.

We welcome introduction calls from both business owners and intermediaries to see whether there might be a potential partnership opportunity.
