Focus is a form of respect.
Boutique advisory means being selective about who we represent — and honest about where our experience delivers the strongest outcomes.
Ontario Business Brokers works with founder-led and family-owned businesses that generate meaningful cash flow, operate in industries we know deeply, and are led by owners preparing for one of the most consequential decisions of their careers. Our engagements are limited by design. Our attention is not.
Built for the businesses that built Ontario.
Our full sell-side representation is designed for established businesses generating between $5 million and $100 million or more in annual revenue. These are the companies where our experience compounds — where the process, the buyer network, and the deal structuring we've refined over nearly two decades create the most measurable value.
Businesses in this range typically face more complex transactions: multiple qualified buyers, sophisticated deal structures, cross-border capital, and layered tax considerations. That's where our advisory model earns its keep.
Deep experience across Ontario's economic backbone.
Sector experience matters. Buyers are more confident, valuations hold up in due diligence, and negotiations move faster when your advisor already understands your industry's operating norms, margin structures, and capital flows.
Manufacturing
Precision manufacturers, industrial fabricators, tool and die shops, and specialty product manufacturers across Southern Ontario's industrial corridor.
Construction
General contractors, custom home builders, commercial construction firms, and specialty construction businesses with strong project pipelines and reputations.
Industrial Services
Millwrighting, industrial maintenance, equipment servicing, and specialty industrial contractors serving manufacturing and infrastructure clients.
Transportation
Trucking companies, logistics operators, and specialty transportation businesses with established routes, contracts, and equipment.
Distribution
Wholesale distributors, specialty product distributors, and B2B supply businesses with exclusive supplier relationships and loyal customer bases.
Specialty Trades
Electrical, mechanical, HVAC, landscape, and specialty trade contractors with established books of business and skilled trade teams.
Business Services
B2B service providers with recurring revenue, contracted customer relationships, and defensible market positions across professional and commercial services.
Specialty Retail & Consumer Products
Specialty retailers, branded consumer product companies, and manufacturers with established retail distribution — businesses with strong brand equity and loyal customer bases.
Telecommunications & Technology
Telecommunications infrastructure, installation, and B2B service providers — established companies with long-term contracts, technical expertise, and recurring revenue streams.
Founder-led. Family-owned.
The best transactions happen when advisor and owner share a common language. Our clients are not private equity portfolio managers. They are the people who built the business, know every employee's name, and are approaching a decision they've never made before.
That's who we work best with — and who we're built to serve.
-
Founder-Led Businesses
Owners who built the business from the ground up and are preparing for their first major transaction.
-
Family-Owned Companies
Multi-generational businesses navigating succession, exit, or strategic transitions in ownership.
-
Owner-Operators Planning Ahead
Business owners considering a sale within the next one to five years who want strategic clarity now.
-
Partners & Co-Owners
Ownership groups exploring partner buyouts, recapitalizations, or partial sales.
Every rule has its exceptions.
A published range is a guideline, not a wall. Some of the best businesses we've represented fell just outside our typical criteria — and some of the most rewarding engagements began with an owner asking, "am I too small to work with you?"
The honest answer is: it depends on the business. A well-run, cash-flowing business with a compelling reason to sell can be an exceptional opportunity regardless of size. If your business is under our typical range and you believe it deserves boutique advisory attention, we welcome the conversation.
