M&A advisory for SME owners — Quebec & Canada

Buy, sell, and finance your business.
Boutique M&A advisory for SME owners across Quebec and 6 Canadian provinces.

Uppercut Solutions guides SME owners through capital decisions — acquisition, sale, succession, financing, restructuring. Sober, structured, confidential. No commission, no pressure, no upsell.

From strategic diagnostic to closing. Every step of a capital decision.

Eight M&A and advisory services

Beyond the classic role of a business broker. Each capital decision gets its own dedicated discipline — all coordinated by a single advisory team.

Business acquisition

Valuation, negotiation, structuring, financing, closing. The partner for your next strategic acquisition — from first contact to share transfer.

Sell-side & succession

Preparation, confidential go-to-market, buyer qualification, negotiation, transition. To maximize the value of what you’ve built.

Buy-side mandate

You engage us formally to find your target. Off-market sourcing, qualification, approach, closing — your acquisition, driven.

Business valuation

A defensible valuation — for selling, buying, financing, or simply knowing where you stand.

Strategic diagnostic

Before any irreversible decision, a structured read of the landscape: strengths, risks, options, timing.

Acquisition financing

Lender-ready financing package, structured and coordinated with your CPA, tax advisor and banking partners.

Crisis management

Cellule 360: contain, stabilize, restructure. For situations that won’t wait.

Financing request​

Fill out the form below and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

  • Purchase of a commercial property
  • Equipment purchase
  • Working capital (liquidity)
  • Business acquisition and transfer
  • Technology development
  • Market expansion

Whatever the project, there are different financing tools that can be used.

  • Doing the process alone, especially if you have limited experience
  • Preparing a business plan or project summary without clearly explaining the company’s strategy
  • Underestimating the importance of marketing strategy—especially digital strategy
  • Creating unrealistic financial forecasts
  • Requesting financing in an unrealistic way, without considering the company’s repayment capacity
  • The biggest mistake: knocking on every door before the file is solid and credible

These are some of the most common mistakes entrepreneurs make when they aren’t properly supported.

  • We guide clients and build their skills so they can prepare a strong file and present it to lenders and/or potential investors—without doing all the work for them.
  • Our philosophy is that the client must fully understand their file and be able to pitch it directly to lenders and/or investors.
  • Our network helps secure the right financing based on the client’s criteria and the expectations of lenders and investors.
  • We use simple, easy-to-use tools—for example, for financial forecasting.
  • Our compensation is performance-based: no financing obtained, no fee.
