For businesses with 20 to 200 employees
An advisor who joins your team for a decision that matters.
You spent years building the business. Selling it calls for someone who takes time to understand it, works with your leadership team and protects your interests at every step. Moses personally leads the engagement from preparation through closing.
Our natural focus is the lower middle market: businesses typically employing 20 to 200 people. The right buyer or partner may be in Québec, elsewhere in Canada or in the United States.
How we help
Sell. Transition. Acquire. Grow.
Family or employee succession
Prepare and structure a transfer to a family member or the management team, taking your objectives and the successor’s financing into account.
U.S. acquisitions
Help Québec owners identify U.S. targets, structure acquisitions and find the financing required.
Growth capital
Seek debt or equity solutions to finance an acquisition or support expansion.
Before the transaction
Thinking of selling or transitioning in two years?
The best time to prepare may be well before speaking with buyers. We can sit down with you and examine what could strengthen your company over the next 24 months: quality of earnings, reliance on the owner, leadership depth and financial information readiness.

The U.S. connection
Grounded in Québec. Connected to the United States.
After 25 years of experience, I chose to join forces with 1858 Capital Partners, a Florida based M&A advisory firm, because we share a conviction: every transaction deserves the attention of experienced people. I am also a Managing Director at 1858. The relationship can broaden the team and U.S. perspective depending on the engagement.

Tribal Capital remains your Québec point of contact. The team and each firm’s role are defined for each engagement.
Your point of contact
Moses Bendayan, CFA
Founder, Tribal Capital · Managing Director, 1858 Capital Partners
I have been in the selling owner’s position.
I owned and sold a software business. I understand the work, attachment and questions behind a sale price. I also spent several years in the United States working with family offices and private equity firms. After 25 years in the field, I chose to devote that experience to entrepreneurs in the province where I grew up and still live.
