Join us for the next Ottawa M&A Club Meeting!

The Ottawa M&A Club is pleased to invite you to its upcoming meeting bringing together M&A professionals for an engaging session and high-quality networking.

Topic: Grow or Sell: Strategies for Building Enterprise Value

Every business owner eventually faces an important question: Is the right path to continue growing the business, or prepare for a successful exit?

Join host David Lyons and a panel of experienced advisors, including Jill Bourchier from Confederation M&A, Muaz Elharram from Welch Capital Partners LLP, and Christina Howard from BDC Growth & Transition Capital, for an engaging discussion on the strategies that help entrepreneurs maximize value at every stage of their journey. 

This session will explore:

• How businesses can improve efficiency, profitability, and enterprise value.
• The role of acquisitions as a growth strategy for owners looking to scale while maintaining ownership.
• Key considerations when preparing a business for sale and how planning impacts valuation and outcomes.
• Common challenges in ownership transitions, family succession, and multi-generational business continuity.

Rather than focusing solely on transactions, this discussion will provide practical insights, real-world experiences, and strategic advice to help business owners make informed decisions about their future.

Through a dynamic panel format, the speakers will share lessons learned from growth initiatives, acquisitions, transitions, and succession planning, while also exploring the risks and challenges entrepreneurs should be prepared to navigate.

Whether your clients are looking to grow through acquisition, improve business performance, or position their company for a future sale, this session will offer valuable perspectives from professionals who work with entrepreneurs every day.
