About Us
At Atlantic M&A|Business Brokers, We Believe Professional Guidance Shouldn’t Come With An Inflated Price Tag. Far Too Often, Business Owners Are Quoted Success Fees Of 8–12%—Even For Deals That Require Minimal Complexity. We Think That’s Excessive.
Whether you’re selling your first company or growing through acquisition, our mission is to provide strategic, affordable advice backed by real experience and professional judgment.
Every advisor affiliated with Atlantic M&A | Business Brokers brings 20+ years of business leadership and/or professional credentials in law or accounting. That’s not just a nice extra – it’s our minimum standard.
As for me, I’ve spent over two decades as a member of the Law Society of New Brunswick.
I’ve been qualified in arbitration, a licensed real estate manager, and a Certified Mergers & Acquisitions Advisor (CM&AA). I also hold Certificates in Canadian Income Tax Practice from the University of Toronto and Negotiation from Harvard Law School’s executive training. I’ve led deals up to $20 million, but some of my most rewarding work comes from helping everyday entrepreneurs plan smart, well-earned exits.
At Atlantic M&A|Business Brokers, we combine real-world experience, professional integrity, and fair pricing—because selling your business shouldn’t feel like giving it away twice.
Thanks for visiting. Let’s talk when you’re ready.
