Our clients trust Valitas to navigate their most complex, mission-critical projects because of the experience and rigour that we deliver.
A slight course correction can significantly alter the ultimate valuation of a business. We are experts in unleashing value in businesses through a clear understanding of each client’s unique attributes. We typically expect to triple each client's shareholder value in five years or less. Here is a client success story that demonstrates how positioning a company for a premium exit has a far larger impact on value than simply optimizing the divestiture process.
We’ve adopted best practices from leading global investment banks and further honed these practices to meet our clients’ unique circumstances. Having acted as principals of sophisticated private equity funds, we understand the many intricacies of the process, and the importance of due diligence that anticipates post-closing challenges and opportunities.
As business owners ourselves, we empathize with our clients’ perspective. We combine boutique agility with the market access of a global firm to provide creative, high-impact solutions that fit each client’s unique objectives and circumstances.
Valitas unlocks global access to capital markets and potential partners for our clients. We combine multiple third-party and proprietary databases with customized software, systems, and a dedicated research team to readily access insights into market trends, valuations, and the universe of potential partners for our clients. These insights include the strategies, investment criteria, and preferred structures of potential buyers, investors, and lenders, informing our advice. Furthermore, our privileged access to more than 7,500 decision makers in these groups enables us to engage with that unique outlier who is the ideal match for each client.
These systems and technology have enabled us to continually accumulate deeper and broader market insights and access for our clients.
We consider it a privilege to earn the trust of our clients, helping them in the most complex and high-stakes transactions of their lives. We are obsessed with exceeding each client’s expectations. Seven Client Service Principles govern our actions.
There are two things any advisory firm must master to excel. The first is to gain the trust and respect of its clients and advise them well. The second is to attract, develop and retain the best team. Valitas was built on these cornerstones.
To meet the challenge of executing complex, mission-critical projects for our clients, our team combines transaction experience that is unmatched in the Canadian middle market with carefully selected aspiring professionals from leading business schools and professional service firms from across North America.
Sophisticated clients know the experience of their deal team matters more than the number of deals their firm has done. At larger firms, the team that worked on the transactions listed in their credentials is often not the team working with that client. Our clients work with the people who were directly involved in the transactions outlined here.
Over the past 25 years, our team has collectively completed almost 200 financing and M&A transactions worth more than $180 billion, having advised on complex public market M&A transactions at leading global investment banks. We also bring rich insights from our extensive experience with private market transactions valued at less than $100 million.
