Monetizing Business Value While Continuing to Grow

Financing, investment and transaction strategies available to entrepreneurs

Selling a business is not the only way to realize the value built over years of hard work. But how do you determine which strategy best aligns with your objectives, desired level of involvement and growth ambitions?

In this webinar hosted by Pierre Allard, Partner, Tax Lawyer and Chairman of the Board of Directors at BCF, and featuring Éric Doyon, Managing Partner at Walter Capital, the speakers explore the various strategies available to entrepreneurs looking to monetize the value created in their business while continuing their growth trajectory.

Through practical examples, they discuss the main options available to business owners, including bank financing, bringing in an institutional investor, partnering with a private equity firm, or selling to a strategic acquirer. The conversation also highlights key considerations such as maintaining control, business valuation, access to liquidity and long-term value creation opportunities.
