Your advisor
Seller. Investor. Advisor.
Moses Bendayan owned and sold a software business. On the National Bank private equity team, he worked on 18 investments and reviewed hundreds more. He has spent over 20 years advising on sales, acquisitions and financings at Crowe, EY Corporate Finance and now Tribal Capital, where he leads every mandate himself. He is also a Managing Director at 1858 Capital Partners in Florida.
What owners ask.
When should I start preparing to sell?
It can be useful to begin up to 24 months in advance. That time can improve earnings quality, reduce owner dependence, strengthen the leadership team and prepare financial information.
What types of companies do you advise?
Tribal Capital primarily advises Québec businesses with approximately 20 to 200 employees across a range of industries.
Is the first conversation confidential?
Yes. The initial conversation is confidential and does not commit you to a process.
Can you approach buyers in the United States?
Yes. Depending on the mandate, the right buyer or partner may be in Québec, elsewhere in Canada or the United States. Tribal Capital can work with 1858 Capital Partners when appropriate.
Do you help with family or employee succession?
Yes. Tribal Capital can help prepare and structure the transition while considering the owner’s objectives and the financing required.
Will Moses personally lead the mandate?
Yes. Moses personally leads the mandate from preparation and positioning through negotiation, diligence and closing.
How long does a sale take?
Typically 6 to 12 months from the start of the mandate to closing. Preparing the company beforehand can take longer, which is why it pays to start the conversation early.
How is an M&A advisor paid?
It depends on the size and complexity of the transaction. Fees are set for each mandate.
Can I sell my company to my employees?
Yes. The challenge is financing. Employees rarely have the capital to buy a company outright, especially a valuable one, and too much debt can become a burden for them. In practice, the owner often finances a large part of the price and is paid over time. The Fonds de solidarité FTQ, for example, lists business transfers to management among its priorities.
