Delivering Results with Integrity
EdgePoint exceeded our highest expectations at developing a marketing plan for the sale of our business. They had a response well in excess of the number of offers I anticipated, and at higher values. The team at EdgePoint was very professional and thorough in the way they provided coaching in the process of prospective buyer interviews and due diligence. We would not hesitate to recommend them or use them in another transaction.

EdgePoint provided expert guidance during my ownership transfer process. They presented strategic and financial buyers and helped me understand the advantages of both options. They did an outstanding job.
Denny CrewsPresident & CEO, Omega Sea 
I have worked with EdgePoint on both “buy-side” and “sell-side” engagements. In both instances, I found them to be strategic thinkers, as well as an excellent negotiators. In the instance of the sell-side transaction, though I am not inexperienced in negotiating transactions, there can be no doubt that their prior experience with large private equity buyers got the deal closed on terms and conditions within the valuation range EdgePoint had calculated. I am not sure we would have been able to close without their guidance and expertise.
