Meet Our Transitions Team

Business owners don’t hire advisors because they need someone to explain a transaction. They hire advisors because they need someone who understands what’s at stake.

For more than 20 years, Tim Blais has worked across banking, finance, entrepreneurship, marketing, construction, taxation, and mergers and acquisitions. Since 2009, he has personally started and acquired multiple businesses, giving him firsthand experience on both sides of the table.

Today, Tim leads Gateway Business Intermediaries with a singular focus: delivering an exceptional client experience while helping business owners maximize value and achieve successful transitions. Under his leadership, Gateway has become one of Atlantic Canada’s most awarded business transition firms and continues to build its reputation as a trusted advisor to entrepreneurs across Canada.

Tim believes great transactions happen when expertise, preparation, and execution come together. His role is simple: help clients make informed decisions, avoid costly mistakes, and achieve outcomes they’re proud of.

Because when you’re selling the business you’ve spent years building, experience matters.
