About the Company

Broker Biography

Introduction

We are more than just the leading business brokerage for Vancouver Island.

We do things a little differently here. Sure, we guide business owners to a profitable exit and assist buyers with acquisitions. But we are more than that. We, above all else, believe in helping people, truly helping people. It’s not about “selling” businesses for us. It’s about creating an environment conducive to collaboration, asking the right questions, providing heart-forward professional insight, and personal support that allows our clients to make informed decisions that will support the life goals they hoped to achieve when they first arrived at our door.
