The decision to sell a business is, for most owners, the largest financial decision of their working life. It deserves an advisor whose sole job, on that transaction, is to represent the Seller.

Queenston's sell-side practice runs the full process — confidential preparation, indicative valuation, qualified buyer outreach under anonymous Fact Sheet and CIM, negotiation, due diligence coordination, and closing through a designated trust account. Every stage is led personally by Martin‑Luc Derome under written confidentiality.

A serious acquisition is not a transactional event — it is a structured process. Queenston works with qualified Buyers to clarify what they're looking for, identify suitable targets, qualify counterparty interest, coordinate confidential introductions, and support negotiations through close.

Buy-side engagements are retained mandates with clearly defined acquisition criteria, geographic and industry scope, and timing expectations. Every Buyer Queenston represents must be capable of executing and operating — with credible capital, governance, and operating capacity.

Net Annual Recurring Revenue, Gross Revenue, or Normalized EBITDA — to support transaction planning, succession, financing, and strategic review. Delivered before any market process begins.

For owners considering an eventual transition — often years before any transaction. Includes client communication strategy, staff transition, technology migration, and key-person risk assessment.

Preparation of Confidential Information Memoranda, anonymous Fact Sheets, management presentations, financial normalizations, and the supporting materials qualified counterparties expect.

Every mandate begins with Queenston's Confidential Mandate Questionnaire — a 9-module intake ensuring every transaction is built on complete, verified information from day one.
