Do you want to sell your business?
We lead the entire sell-side process—from preparation to closing—to maximize value and certainty.
Client satisfaction
100% of our clients say RCA saved or made them money versus selling alone or with another broker.
Time to first offer
45 days following go-to-market. Our proven process and network enable us to secure offers quickly.
Commission paid at closing
Unlike many brokers who charge monthly fees, we are primarily paid at closing.
Four reasons to choose RCA
We designed our approach so SME owners looking to sell can make the right choice. Our expertise and experience have delivered results for many sellers.
Paid only on success
Our model is simple: 10% to launch the engagement, then 90% paid when your business is sold. Our interests are perfectly aligned with yours.
Top investment-bank expertise, accessible to SMEs
We use the methodologies and tools of major investment banks to structure, value, and negotiate transactions. We adapt these practices to the realities of Quebec SMEs.
We drive your transaction to closing
Our work consists of building a favorable and fair sales narrative, which we present to qualified buyers. We detail and defend the information presented throughout negotiations, due diligence, financing, and contract drafting. We keep you in a position of strength.
30+ years of entrepreneurial experience
Our team brings over 30 years of entrepreneurial experience as owner-operators, with multiple transactions executed as both buyers and sellers.

100% Success-Based Fee Structure
Our incentives are perfectly aligned with yours: we only earn when you successfully sell your business.
Until the M&A is concluded, you don't need to pay
Unlike traditional consulting firms that charge upfront retainers or monthly fees, our model is entirely success-based. This means zero financial risk on your part during the lengthy and complex sale process.
You can move forward with confidence knowing that our compensation depends entirely on achieving a successful transaction.
Incentives are aligned
When our fees are tied to the final sale price, we're naturally motivated to maximize the value of your transaction. Higher sale price means better outcome for you and fair compensation for us.
This alignment eliminates potential conflicts of interest and ensures we're working toward the same goal: the best possible deal for your business.
Problems are addressed proactively
Because we're invested in your success, we proactively identify and resolve issues that could derail the transaction. Our experience allows us to anticipate challenges before they become deal-breakers.
From financial documentation to operational improvements, we guide you through every necessary preparation to ensure your business is market-ready and attractive to qualified buyers.
Transactions close
Our success-based model means we're committed to seeing your transaction through to completion. We don't earn unless the deal closes, so we remain actively engaged throughout negotiations, due diligence, and final closing.
This commitment translates to higher completion rates and fewer deals falling apart at the last minute. Your success is our success.
