Acquisition Criteria:
We start with three basics: the business is located in British Columbia, generates $1M–$3M in consistent profits, and primarily serves B2B customers.
From there, we look for five things:
Sales-Led Business: Growth is driven by relationships, reputation, and execution. Customers receive clear value and a strong return on their investment.
Diversified Customers: No single customer has an outsized impact on the business.
Growth Potential: There is a clear opportunity to grow revenue.
Competitive Advantage: The business has earned a defensible place in its market through reputation, relationships, expertise, or some other meaningful differentiation.
Seller: Character matters. We look for owners who are candid, trustworthy, and keep their word. Every business has challenges. We respect sellers who are upfront about them.
Real Estate (Bonus Points): Owning the property is not required, but the opportunity to acquire the real estate alongside the business is always attractive.
If these boxes are checked, most other challenges can usually be worked through.
