Jean Guy is by far the best broker we have ever dealt with. He’s an extremely pleasant and knowledgeable individual, aiming to please with expertise. Jean Guy managed a nightmare deal that seemed like it was never going to close, with ease and professionalism, like we’ve never before seen. If it wasn’t for him, we would have lost hope and abandoned long before the deal would have concluded. Anybody that has the privilege to deal with Jean Guy is lucky to benefit from such an experienced broker, who knows how to get a deal done. If it wasn’t for him shedding light on the whole project and prospect of monetary gain, we would have looked past this commerce and wouldn’t find ourselves in the beneficial position in which we are now. Thank you, Jean Guy, we couldn’t have done it without you!

Tim and his team at Gateway did a great job with a difficult sale. I know it wasn’t easy. We are a stubborn bunch that likes to do things our way. Tim did a great job, despite our tendencies. He took the time to deal with our concerns as well as presenting us with practical solutions. I would highly recommend Tim and his team at Gateway.

Tim - I just wanted to congratulate you and your team for one of the nicest information memorandums I have read on a small business in a while. Your level of care and thoroughness that went into preparing this product speak volumes about your company's approach and philosophy - a breath of fresh air compared to some of the other brokerages I have encountered. Very nicely done!

Jean Guy and I have helped many clients together. Jean Guy always has a detailed understanding of the clients business, and also understands the complicated intersection of balancing the needs of buyer, seller and bank. He is ethical, diligent and efficient. It's been a pleasure working with him on client futures and dreams.

Very professional and knowledgeable the depth in understanding and explaining is great asset to have on your team. Ken.

By the way you guys are super impressive with what you do!

Just picked up the closing documents and was going to call to say thank you but I think you’ve had enough of us already. So a really big thank you to you both for taking us on!! We know you deal with much bigger businesses with real organization so thank you for your patience with us & the help that went above and beyond. We really appreciate it and feel lucky to have found your team because we couldn’t have done this without you guys!

What Does Life Look Like After Selling Your Business?

For many business owners, selling isn’t just a financial decision. After decades spent building a company, managing employees, solving problems, and carrying the responsibility that comes with ownership, it can be difficult to imagine what comes next.

For one of our past clients, the answer was simple: life got better.

“I’m in a much better place spiritually, financially, mentally than I’ve been in a long time. I’m down 40 pounds, blood pressure is down 30 points.”

Jeff Harrington

I’m finally reaping the rewards of 30 years of hard work.

In this short client testimonial, he shares what changed after selling his business through Gateway Business Intermediaries — from juggling “forty balls” to four, to finally enjoying the rewards of 30 years of hard work.

Selling a Business Is About More Than the Sale Price

A successful business exit should accomplish more than transferring ownership. It should give an owner the opportunity to move into the next chapter with confidence — financially, personally, and professionally.

At Gateway Business Intermediaries, we help Canadian business owners prepare, position, and confidentially sell their companies with a process designed to protect the value they’ve spent years creating.

Considering Selling Your Business?

You don’t need to have your exit figured out before starting the conversation.

If you’re wondering what your business is worth, whether the timing is right, or what life after ownership could look like, speak confidentially with a Gateway M&A advisor.

Your business took years to build. Your exit deserves the same level of thought.
