Guides and analysis on off-market deal sourcing, search fund strategy, and lower-middle-market acquisitions.
Welding shops, steel fabricators, machine shops, concrete and trucking operators, manufacturers, and oilfield, energy, and waste-services businesses are being actively consolidated by industrial platforms and strategic buyers across Ontario, Alberta, and beyond. These guides cover what drives value in each trade, the transfer risks that cap a multiple, and how to sell privately without losing your crew or your contracts.
Optometry and ophthalmology practices are among the most actively acquired healthcare businesses, with private-equity-backed eye-care platforms paying premiums for recurring revenue, associate coverage, optical contribution, and surgical or ASC volume. These guides walk through how practices are valued, what lifts a multiple, and how to explore a sale confidentially without disturbing staff, patients, or referral sources.
What a business is worth, and who is buying, varies by province: Ontario has the deepest buyer pool, Alberta rewards revenue that holds through commodity cycles, BC values owned real estate separately, and Saskatchewan demand centres on professional services and ag-linked trades. These province guides cover how valuation works locally and how to test your number privately, with links to the matching /sell pages.
The fundamentals every owner needs before a sale: what your business is actually worth, how buyers value earnings, the step-by-step sale process, deal structures from asset sales to earnouts, how to find and vet buyers, and how to keep the whole process confidential. Start here if you are early, then move to the guide for your specific industry.
Healthcare practices are the most heavily consolidated category in the lower middle market, and also the most regulated to transfer: payer enrolments, change-of-ownership filings, licensure, and survey history routinely decide the structure of a deal before price is ever discussed. These guides cover what buyers pay for in each discipline, which parts of the revenue are durable, and what an owner should fix in the eighteen months before going to market.
Professional services firms are valued on the durability of relationships rather than on assets, which is why two firms with identical revenue can be worth very different amounts. Ownership rules restrict who may buy a law practice, staffing is a gross-profit business rather than a revenue business, and services firms live or die on whether the founder still sells and delivers the work. These guides cover each of those, and what to change before a buyer looks.
Construction, electrical, automotive, cleaning, plumbing, and landscaping companies are being bought by home and commercial services platforms, regional strategics, and individual buyers using SBA financing. What separates the businesses that clear the top of the range from the ones that stall is almost always the same short list: recurring service revenue, a licence that does not walk out with the owner, contract terms that survive a change of control, and a labour model that withstands diligence.
Licensed care businesses share a feature that sets them apart from every other category: the licence, the certification, and the payer enrolment do not transfer with the sale. A change of ownership has to be approved, and the regulatory calendar rather than the negotiation usually decides the closing date. These guides cover how each category is valued, which approvals sit on the critical path, and what an owner should have mapped before a buyer ever asks.
These businesses are bought for what is written down rather than for what is said: a monitoring contract, a service agreement, a lease, a preneed obligation, or a rent roll. Buyers read the paper before they read the profit, because assignability, term, cancellation notice, and funding status decide how much of the revenue actually survives a change of ownership. These guides cover what each buyer set pays for and which documents to fix first.
