Your Trusted Mergers & Acquisitions Service in Canada

Pacific Mergers and Acquisitions Inc. will facilitate transactions where two or more companies are merged into one, possibly capitalizing on synergies, strategic objectives, and more. Growth by Acquisition and Strategic Aggregation is becoming more and more popular and on both a national, and a cross border, international level.

The objective is to create value, as a result of synergies between the companies being merged, where economies of scale or economies of scope can be effectively utilized to create value as a result of synergies between the companies being merged and leverage such activities as sharing or transferring of competencies, or sharing infrastructure and more.

Typically, in a Merger, two or more companies become one company, and one of the management teams, or a combination of the merged companies’ teams becomes the new or dominant management team.

There are multiple reasons for merging companies, where the objective and result is to create value as a result of synergies between the companies being merged, and where economies of scale or economies of scope can be taken advantage of such as sharing or transferring of competencies, or sharing infrastructure and more.

Strategic buyers can be private companies or public companies. In the case of public companies, the financial scrutiny might be higher than private companies; however, in either case, such matters as due diligence requirements, level of financial reporting and quality of earnings assessments must be considered.

Such potential buyers can be outside unrelated entities, suppliers, or customers that may be strategic or synergistic. They may also be competing entities or industry buyers with strategic or synergistic focus and/or results. Finally, they may be product or market extensions where complimentary products are key, and strategic objectives are often desired.

Common Reasons for a Merger

A merger’s purpose may be for multiple reasons:

Vertical Integration

Upwards or downwards on a supply chain. An example might be the acquisition or merger with a company involved in different stages of the same production process. For example, a company that manufactures aluminum windows might vertically integrate by buying a company that manufactures aluminum extrusions. Such would allow the window manufacturing company to have more control over its supply chain and possibly even reduce costs.

Horizontal Integration

Horizontal integration occurs when a company expands by acquiring or merging with a company/business that operates in the same stage of the production process. For example, if that window manufacturer acquires another window manufacturer such as perhaps a vinyl window manufacturer, this would be considered a horizontal merger or integration. Such a strategy might help companies to increase market share and or reduce competition.

Another such horizontal merger might be the acquisition of a straight competitor thereby increasing one’s market share, growing the acquiring company and eliminating some competition.

Pacific have played a pivotal role in our lives this past year, skillfully navigating us through to successful completion of the sale of our business. It has been such a pleasure and privilege to work with you and we are deeply grateful for all your support.

This team is the true definition of integrity. I have never experienced such professionalism and knowledge in the sale of my business. The kindness, care and attention that went into the deal made me feel I had hired the right team. The organization and updates every step of the way put my mind at ease. The care throughout made the sale of our business smooth on my husband and myself so we could focus on running the business and focus on our lives. We are so grateful to the team at Pacific M&A. I couldn’t imagine doing this on our own! Thank you!

From listing, to site visits, to an offer, to an acceptance, to waivers, to closing – it took only 3 months! We never, ever, would have thought this was possible. This note is just to acknowledge the comprehension, courtesy and professionalism throughout the whole process. It was very reassuring to know that you were at our side every step of the way – any time of the day/night – and any day of the week. We realize that we are not one of your larger accounts – but at no time did we ever feel that we were treated with any less respect.

- D.M.

Thanks for everything that you’ve done to make this deal go through. It’s not the easiest deal to close, I’m sure, but your patience and professionalism in handling the whole process has made it a lot easier for all the parties involved. Without your assistance, I am sure this deal would not have closed and we would still be selling the business (and the Buyers will shopping for one). Thanks again – and Congratulations to you too – for making the almost impossible possible!

- A & K

Thank you for all the hard work in putting this deal together. It was great working with you. I will not hesitate to recommend you to represent any friends or acquaintances looking to sell their company here in Kamloops or elsewhere. I have learned a lot from this process and thank you for being patient during my learning.

We recently had Pacific Business Brokers sell one of our businesses. From step one, they give you a feeling of absolute confidence that you have the best company on the job selling your business. Very professional and great communication with their clients. Our business sold in less than 6 months for full price. They stayed with us every step of the way making it a surprisingly stressless event. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone thinking of taking the plunge and selling their business.

- D.S.

I used their business and they sold my business within 2-3 weeks. Good people, they have lots of buyers – good buyers. I referred my friend and they sold their business as well. They tried to sell it themselves in a year, and Pacific sold it within 2 months.

- G.

The team at Pacific really helped my business partner and I out by providing their valuation services at a pivotal point with our business. They hit the promised timelines and communicated well throughout the process. upon presentation, they recommended we hold the business for a couple more years prior to selling and even gave us ways to improve the value in that time. Would highly recommend.

Pacific M&A are the most professional group of individuals I have ever had the pleasure to work with. They helped me navigate the successful sale of my business, which included an extensive CIM. The Pacific M&A team were there from the beginning to the end and beyond so that I was assured that all my concerns were met. I would not hesitate to recommend Pacific M&A.
