Finding the right buyer is the key to success in every sale and transition environment. We take the guessing game out of the equation and only invite buyer candidates to the negotiating table who are known, serious and capable.

Structured Negotiations

We understand our client’s needs and expectations before market contact to ensure that our mandate is clear, and our interests are aligned. When it comes time to close the deal, there is little left to negotiate except for transition, timing and price.

I had a great experience working with Beacon right from the onset. Beacon helped me evaluate and sell my business and were incredible professionals to work with throughout the entire process. Both Will and Alex were always available to answer my questions, provide detailed explanations at every step, and assist me though all phases. Beacon found the eventual buyer of my company, negotiated the deal, and provided excellent support right through to closing. If anyone is considering selling their business I highly recommend Beacon.

Very professional. They managed the process to help get the deal done. M&A is hard! Beacon has decades of experience with multiple buyers and sellers that they've seen everything so when stuff came up, as it inevitably does, they were calm, cool and collected which is what you need when emotions (and expenses) are running high. I would work with them again and recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a business.

When we decided to sell our business, we had no idea how to do that- it's sometimes a once in a lifetime event. Beacon asked the right questions, did a very detailed evaluation, and then presented us online with their website. They quickly found us five possible buyers, and we got an excellent offer from one of the five.Most importantly, they made sure that everything went as planned from start to finish and offered us the flexibility to be actively involved with the sale. We are now retired and can enjoy our next several years as a result of Beacon's professional approach to selling a business.I highly recommend them.

I would use them again because of how quick and efficient they respond to the challenge.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT BEACON ADVISORS

Where are Beacon's offices in the United States?

Beacon is cross border. We have two offices in the United States, one in Los Angeles and the other in Washington, D.C., which equates to more exposure to the US market. Beacon's US securities business is conducted through KEMA Partners LLC, a FINRA/SIPC member and SEC registered broker-dealer.

How does Beacon market its opportunities globally?

We are a member of Pandion Partners, a global association of over 30 investment banks with a network of offices across Europe, Asia, the Middle East and North and South America.

How is Beacon different from other business brokers and M&A firms?

Beacon's approach differs from some of the other brokers in that everyone at Beacon has advanced professional certifications and academic degrees in business, accounting, law and finance. Beacon's management and representatives are comprised of MBA's, chartered accountants, lawyers, bankers and chartered business valuators.

What qualities should I look for in a business broker and M&A advisor?

The most important qualities to look for in an M&A advisor and business broker are professionalism, negotiation skill, experience and industry reputation. It is crucial to choose a broker who demonstrates professionalism and integrity as you will be trusting them with sensitive financial information.
  • Professionalism: A professional business broker will always work in their client’s best interests and maintain confidentiality. Confidentiality is of utmost importance in M&A transactions.
  • Negotiation Skills: Negotiations often fall through because there is a gap between the buyer’s and seller’s expectations. An experienced negotiator adds value by bridging these gaps and ensuring that a transaction reaches fruition.
  • Experience: An experienced M&A advisor will have the knowledge base to offer the right guidance and the foresight to anticipate and manage any obstacles that might arise during deal negotiations.
  • Reputation & Integrity: Work with a responsive broker who is good with communication so that swift progress is made through the mandate, and there is transparency between parties.

Why choose a business broker?

Business brokers can add a lot of value throughout the entire sale process. After all, they are certified specialists who are experts at valuation, marketing, deal structuring, and negotiation. Consider the benefits of working with a business broker to sell or buy a business:
  • They Are Certified Experts: Mergers and acquisitions are complex processes with many moving parts. As an entrepreneur, you may have a strong understanding of your business and the industry, but this expertise has little to do with the actual sale process of buying or selling your business.
  • They Prepare Your Business for Selling: Business brokers will help you prepare your business for sale operationally and suggest the best exit strategy given your particular situation. They will conduct their due diligence on your company and provide you with a value assessment of your business’ fair market value.
    By understanding your needs and working in close collaboration, our Toronto business brokers can help draft agreements and contracts to safeguard your interests.
  • They Boast a Large Network of Buyers: Having a wide outreach significantly increases the chances of finding an ideal buyer, and maximizes your chance of successfully exiting your business while obtaining maximum value. Business brokers maintain a vast network of buyers and business professionals. They are used to dealing with private buyers and are well aware of their expectations. This is extremely valuable in tailoring marketing material to attract buyers.
  • They Can Identify Red Flags: Often, buyers will try to pressure sellers into entering agreements that transfer risk onto the seller. Brokers are good at identifying red flags and will carefully go over the entire contract to identify any issues and bring them to your attention. Having a trusted business broker or M&A advisor on hand throughout the whole sale process can lift a significant amount of weight off your shoulders and lead to a much more pleasant transaction experience.

Have you sold a business exactly like ours?

We may have sold a business in your industry, but the reality is that no two businesses are exactly the same. Even companies in the same industry may have different cost structures and operating models, as businesses often try to establish a competitive advantage by differentiating themselves.

One company might generate profits in an industry, while another company in the same industry may run a loss due to factors like higher costs, poor management or size disadvantages.

Beacon Advisors maintains an industry-agnostic focus and has a thorough understanding of various industries and operating models. As a business brokerage firm, we identify strengths and weaknesses and effectively quantify these factors to establish a fair market value.

How do business brokers and M&A advisors find buyers for a business?

A good business brokerage firm will have an extensive network of buyers, entrepreneurs, institutional and private investors, lenders and industry professionals. There are various ways that a brokerage will use its network to aid with sales:
  1. Establish a Database of Buyers: Every business intermediary should have a deep proprietary database of potential buyers. Business Brokerage and M&A advisory firms leverage their large network and reputation to source buyers and select the right fit for client companies. They begin by confidentially marketing business opportunities to targeted buyers and the general public.
  2. Tap into the Network: At the next stage, potential buyers will only see a teaser for mandates and will not know specifics like the business name or the owner’s identity. Once the buyer signs a Non-Disclosure or Confidentiality agreement, the M&A business broker will pre-qualify them and assess their experience and financial fitness before sharing more information.
  3. Identify and Contact a Targeted Group of Businesses: The broker or advisor should have a detailed proprietary database and virtual data room to establish and maintain confidentiality throughout the entire process. After initial discussions with buyers, the broker and advisor will solicit bids from the interested parties.

How do business brokers and M&A advisors assure confidentiality in the selling process?

Confidentiality plays an essential role in the processes of buying or selling a business. Consider how business brokerage firms protect the confidentiality of their clients:
  1. Secure Properties: M&A business brokers use secured, third-party data rooms to store a business's financial data and intellectual property information during the sale process.
  2. Competitors: When you provide a list of direct competitors who might just be fishing for information, your broker will know who to remove from the process.
  3. Never Release Public Information: Professional business brokerage and M&A advisory firms will never release public-facing information that can be too specific to point to the exact business under consideration.
  4. NDAs: It is essential to have any interested party sign appropriate confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements. Your business broker or M&A advisory firm will have these agreements readily available for all buyers to review and sign.

What makes Beacon different from other Toronto business brokers?

Beacon’s business brokers in Toronto provide professional advisory services and act as M&A advisors throughout the entire sale process to help sellers make an informed decision. Consider the characteristics that make us stand apart from other business brokerage firms:
  • Experience: Beacon has extensive experience providing transaction advisory services and boasts several completed transactions across many industries.
  • Services: We offer a wide range of brokerage services to our clients, including valuations, targeted confidential marketing, pre-screening of prospects, and assistance with negotiation and due diligence.
  • Customer Service: Working closely with our sellers from the source until the closing has helped us achieve high client satisfaction rates. As a result, Beacon received the 2018, 2019, 2021 and 2022 Consumer Choice Award for business excellence.
  • Extensive Network: Our extensive network of buyers and industry professionals allows us to offer our clients the best advice and solutions throughout the entire business brokerage and M&A advisory process.
  • Scope: We are an M&A business broker in Ontario with offices and representatives in Toronto, Mississauga, Oakville, Brampton, Burlington, Hamilton, Kitchener, Guelph, Waterloo, Brantford, Niagara and London Ontario.

Can Beacon access overseas markets in Asia?

Beacon deals in Chinese and has a Chinese-speaking representative Gary Guo, a seasoned M&A professional.

What is a business broker?

Business brokers, also known as business intermediaries, assist in selling privately owned businesses by connecting buyers and sellers. A business brokerage will assist with sales and be involved throughout the entire deal process.
