TRANSITIONS

We take a simple approach to buying businesses.

As Alberta-based entrepreneurs with over 40 years of combined experience, we focus on building relationships with business owners. We avoid the aggressive tactics often used by private equity groups. Instead, we create tailored solutions that honour your legacy and align with your vision.

Through five years of working together, we’ve specialized in helping Alberta businesses transition smoothly. Whether you wish to stay involved or step away, we simplify the process and ensure a seamless handover for long-term success.

Why sell to us?

We offer a better alternative for Alberta business owners looking to transition their companies. Here’s how we stand apart from other options:

Traditional Venture Capital

✗ Complex Valuations: Often promising big numbers but with strings attached.

✗ Long-Term Commitment: Founders are typically expected to stay for 5+ years.

✗ High Pressure: Driven by the need to deliver 10–100X returns, which may not align with your goals.

✗ No Immediate Cash: Funds are reinvested into growth, leaving founders without a true cash-out opportunity.

Conventional Private Equity

✗ Cash Out—But With Strings: Partial or full cash-out often tied to earn-out structures.

✗ Cultural Disruption: Private equity firms frequently alter company culture and operations.

✗ Short-Term Focus: Businesses are typically flipped within 3–5 years for quick profits.

The Wildrose Difference

✓ Flexible Options: Whether you want a full exit or partial involvement, we adapt to your needs.

✓ Cash Upfront: Immediate liquidity ensures your efforts are rewarded.

✓ Efficient Process: Transactions can be completed in 30–90 days.

✓ Founder Freedom: You decide—stay involved or step away entirely.

✓ Respect for Culture: We preserve the heart and values that make your business unique.

✓ Long-Term Commitment: We’re here for the long haul, focusing on sustainable growth, not quick flips.
