Our Measure of Success.

​Since 2017, our team of professionals have successfully serviced more than 200 business clients. Being Canada's fastest growing mergers and acquisitions firm, we have created a marketplace for businesses ranging in revenue from $1,000,000 to $50 million. Our numbers speak for themselves.

Working with Us.

Having both worked in investment banking and consulting, and around small-to-medium sized businesses, serial entrepreneurs Edward Zhu (CPA, LPA, MAcc, BBA) and Tim Chen (CFA, MAA, BCom) found a passion in helping the main street business owners increase the value of their businesses and meet their succession and retirement goals. 

OUR SERVICES

We Are Your Guide.

Selling Your Business

Selling a business can be an emotional process—one that may be simultaneously exciting and even a bit intimidating. The right business broker / advisor can help make the business sales process much more straightforward.

Buying a Business

Buying a business can be one of the biggest decisions you ever make. Choose the right business, and you set yourself up for the freedom, flexibility, and sense of pride that being a business owner brings.

Business Valuation

EQ Capital Partners offers complimentary, 100% confidential business valuations. Our certified appraisal experts provide the most accurate value of your company and competitive knowledge for when you go to market.

Focus on Seller Process

We will help you navigate the process to sell your business from the beginning to closing and beyond. This is normally a five-to-twelve-month process. This is our plan to get you there.

Client Testimonials

"From our first conversation, EQ Capital Partners demonstrated a deep understanding of the SaaS landscape and the unique challenges of scaling and exiting a U.S.-based software business. Their team guided us through every stage of the process – from refining our growth story and preparing a world-class CIM, to engaging with a highly targeted list of strategic acquirers. We couldn’t have asked for a better partner to help us find the right acquirer and maximize value for our shareholders."
