M&A advisory

We support businesses through every stage of M&A across many different industries and deal sizes. Our capabilities include buy- and sell-side M&A advisory and our clients also engage us as independent financial advisors on valuations and government and institutional consulting mandates. Unlike many larger multi-product firms, we are truly objective, with no credit, underwriting, trading or research conflicts.

Capital raising

Capital raising

We offer an array of financing-related services. Our Canadian affiliate, Origin Merchant Securities Inc., is an exempt market dealer, and this means that we can agent private placements of debt and equity securities to finance our clients’ acquisition capital, growth capital or recapitalization needs. Our US Principals are registered representatives of StillPoint Capital, Member FINRA/SIPC, and are able to facilitate the capital raising requirements of our US clients.
