What our clients are saying

  • "A sincere thank you for all your efforts and navigating me with precision over the last 10+ months!! What a ride it’s been 😊. Focused on just running a business for 32 years - I had little understanding of what a sale process looks like or what it takes for it to be successful - and your guidance, support and execution of all things was exceptional…and greatly appreciated. I couldn’t imagine attempting this journey without Candice and Bob on the team. As I reflect on everything – know that I’m incredibly proud & happy on all aspects of the sale process."

    Chris Agnew, former owner of Interprovincial Traffic Services Ltd.

  • “I had previously gone through the sale process with another broker years before I had the good fortune to work with VEER Business Advisors. VEER did not try to fit our business into a generic business model as other brokers had done. They realized that we had a complexity that needed to be interpreted properly for prospective buyers to understand. When presented with multiple offers and multiple payment schemes, VEER was able to evaluate them in depth and present me with the best 3 proposals with pros and cons for each of them. Having the team at VEER take care of the hard stuff helped tremendously in the final weeks as the sale came to a successful end. I would highly recommend VEER to any prospective business – they are engaging, hard-working and have the experience of many different business acquisition transactions to guide any business through what is usually a daunting and lengthy process.”

    Former Owner of IT MSP

  • “We can’t really say enough. VEER Business Advisors Ltd. sold our business we started 38 years ago. They not only delivered as promised but held our hands and made the process seamless. Words cannot really express our gratitude. We know we could not have done this sale without the team from VEER. We will never forget these great people. Thank you, ever so much”

    Mike & Kim Trimble, Former Owners of Woofy’s Pet Foods

  • “I have worked with VEER Business Advisors on the sale of two companies over the past two years. Initially, VEER produced an analysis of our business for the improvement of its business processes. Subsequently, we decided that by taking these actions, the business had put itself in a stronger position and engaged VEER to find a potential buyer. In both transactions, VEER has been professional and provided us with a range of services that we could not have managed without their involvement. The two sales were quite different. One was to a third party and VEER negotiated on our behalf to arrive at a deal that we feel was favourable to our situation. Bob was pleasant to work with and always, within reason, available. The second transaction was an internal transfer of shares which had some complexity to it and Bob was excellent at negotiating with some very challenging personalities. Given my experience with VEER and especially Bob Lawrence, I would recommend them to anybody looking at improving the operations of their business, either for the purpose of selling, or simply to pinpoint and improve challenging areas in the business”

    Former Owner of Software Value Added Reseller

  • “Candice and Bob were a pleasure to work with through the whole process. Always a pleasure chatting with them, they listened and acted on your ideas whilst also getting feedback from the employees of the company to make sure that the ESOP would be a success. VEER were knowledgeable, but modest enough that if they did not know something, they would go and find the answer for you. No false promises were made!”

    Will Meredith, Founder of GeoRadar Group

  • "We are both extremely grateful for your guidance, patience, diligence, brilliance, resilience, tenacity, positivity, good humour and the time you have spent with both of us. We realize as Business Advisors, the challenges you have encountered to manage us all!"

    Former owners of a Construction Product Logistics company

  • "VEER supported me through a difficult buyout which resulted in a successful transaction that has allowed the business to thrive. VEER’s creative solutions and broad perspective were essential to creating an agreement and closing this deal."

    Former owner of a Specialized Construction Services Business

  • "Thanks for your assistance, honesty and guidance through this process. You made every meeting comfortable and productive. I feel like you explained everything with language that was easy to understand which helped me make my decisions confidently."

    Management buyer of an Electrical Contracting Business

  • "As a business owner facing the reality of eventual succession, there are so many questions and issues to consider. I highly recommend VEER Business Advisors to anyone considering succession options, whether immediate or in the next few years. They were very thorough, really ‘got’ my business, my financials and my goals. They gave me a road map to follow. On top of that, they were very prompt. Overall, a great investment in avoiding traps and pitfalls on the path to maximizing the return on a business exit."

    Former owner of a Horticulture Company

  • "Bob is one of the first people I call when I have a business or organizational challenge. He is knowledgeable and trustworthy and easy to talk to. I recommend Bob as an advisor for any business looking to become more successful."

    Owner, Family & Corporate Security Company

  • "As a successful growing family business, we feel very fortunate to have had the expertise and advice of VEER Business Advisors in the planning and transitioning to turn our business over to our son. Their unique ability to combine and balance businesslike thinking with family-like thinking allowed for a much easier understanding of the plan and process. Their insight into Family Business Dynamics was truly an asset resulting in a smoother transition than we had imagined."

    Owners of a Family Business in Manufacturing

  • "Our food production company has been in business in Vancouver, B.C. for 16 years and has recently been able to attract investments from interested parties introduced by Bob Lawrence of VEER Business Advisors. He organized and prepared our company for investment and found this wonderful business partnership within 1 year. We consider ourselves extremely lucky to have Bob on board with us and we are deeply grateful for his knowledge, dedication and sincere work ethics that have brought about this successful investment. We look forward to the expansion of our company with our new business partners under Bob’s guidance."

    Owners of a Food Production Company

  • "I have had the opportunity to work with Bob on solving many business-related problems. I found his energy, enthusiasm and business acumen to be second to none. He is a trusted mentor and business advisor."

    Owner of an Organizational Development Company

  • The time was right to find a business-savvy buyer to take my business to the next level. VEER Business Advisors helped me clarify my goals, and put a plan in place to find a well-suited buyer. They built a compelling teaser for me, scoured the market, and ultimately found the perfect buyer. I had done my homework and knew a lot about the process, but they knew things that I hadn't even considered, and didn't realize were possible. Grant's knowledge of the banking sector was invaluable. Equally important, their team were an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the process. I highly recommend them.
