What Our Clients Say

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.

From our very first phone call, Will answered all of my questions thoroughly without talking down to me, and offered helpful insights and advice. He and his team made themselves available when I wanted to talk, and their work was detailed and delivered in a timely manner.

I spent years as a lawyer helping clients buy and sell businesses. Over 10+ years (until I retired in 2018) I worked with Alex Shteriev at Beacon M & A on several transactions. He is professional, honest and straightforward - no hype. He's experienced, knows his stuff, and is great to deal with. I recommend Alex and Beacon without hesitation.

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.

It was a pleasure working with Beacon. I recently had the chance working with Will. He guided me through the purchase process from LOI to due diligence. The document of Confidential Information of Memorandum was well prepared and accurate. It was really comfortable and easy to have a professional brokerage firm like Beacon. It was totally a peace of mind for the buyer. I definitly recommended this business brokerage firm.

Alex helped us through a difficult time wondering if our business would sell. I was sceptical at the beginning, but after a few interested parties I felt that this could work. In a short 9 month period Beacon sold the business for most of the asking price. They are very good at their job in every aspect of selling businesses. I would use them again because of how quick and efficient they respond to the challenge.

Alex and his team are consummate professionals. I am a lawyer and have worked with the Beacon office on several business sale transactions. I have always been impressed on how prepared both the buyer and seller are in transactions where Beacon has been retained to sell the business. It sure makes my work a lot easier once I am brought on board to paper the deal! Even when a deal hits a bump in the road, Alex and the Beacon team are always there to smooth things over to get the parties back on track. If you need to sell a business, look no further than Beacon to help you out!

If I could give more stars, I would. A friend of mine referred me to Beacon after the amazingly successful sale of their business. A staple company in Toronto, who I will not name but can say, you've heard of them. I have had a medium size business for 20 years. It was time to take the leap into retirement. I can't express enough how happy and FORTUNATE the decision to go with Beacon was. These are the only people you should trust with the sale of your business. Aloha 😉

I hired Beacon to help find a buyer to sell my small business. Alex and his team prepared a very professional prospectus/review of the business and I utilized their Beacon + program. While I ended up finding a buyer from within my own circle of associates Beacon provided literally dozens of leads and I would use them again.

The initial time I was looking for some business valuation advice, I had I actually left the company an initial inquiry late one night as I was browsing the internet looking for valuation service. The next morning before I could even get ready for work, I received a phone call from them!! Super quick with the response times. From there, Will Fischtein was extremely knowledgeable , honest and quick with his response times when I needed a business valuation. I recommend this company to others.
