An experienced lens on M&A, from every side of the deal.
Ternvale Partners draws on significant experience at premier accounting and investment banking practices, and on years of hands-on work leading corporate growth efforts across Canada and the U.S. in multiple industries.
What we do
Buy-Side M&A Advisory
We source and evaluate acquisition targets, run diligence, and structure and execute transactions. Our approach is informed by experience closing acquisitions as the buyer.
Sell-Side M&A Advisory
We guide owners through the sale process, from valuation and positioning through confidential buyer outreach, negotiation and closing.
Strategy Consulting
Advisory for owners and operators on questions that do not involve a transaction, including growth planning, competitive positioning, and preparing a business for a future sale or succession.
Experience
Accounting & diligence
Chartered accountant by training, with valuation experience at a global accounting firm. Financial information is prepared to stand up to buyer diligence.
Investment banking
Years advising on M&A and financings at a leading Canadian investment bank, with experience across competitive sale processes from positioning through close.
Corporate development & operations
Led acquisition and growth programs at high-volume consolidators across North America, from target evaluation through close.
Our edge
Ternvale is a small firm by design, and senior attention applies to every mandate. We bring experience from each side of a transaction and working relationships across institutional capital and owner-led businesses.
Acquiror experience
Having acquired businesses as the buyer, we understand how acquirors underwrite a company, where diligence stalls a transaction, and what supports a higher price. Owners are prepared on those points before a process begins.
Access to institutional capital
Years in capital markets and corporate development have built working relationships with lenders, equity investors and strategic acquirors, which allows us to approach the capital best suited to a given transaction.
Owner relationships
Years of sourcing and closing acquisitions from founder-owned companies in the trades, home services and other owner-led industries have given us direct relationships with owners and a working knowledge of who is buying in those sectors.
