The principals of Equicapita are pleased to announce the release of Equicapitas

Little Book of What Next? The entrepreneurs guide to preparing, structuring and
negotiating the successful sale of your business.
Greg Tooth, a partner at private business buy-out firm Equicapita commented,
"We are big believers in the small business sector (SME) as a wealth creator in
Canada. We created Equicapita to be RRSP eligible to allow qualified investors
access to SME investments that are difficult to reach through traditional
channels. Because of the compelling mismatch between the amount of business
owners seeking exits in relation to the amount of dedicated SME buyout capital
we believe this space could provide superior returns over the next decade while
the imbalance is rectified and the demographic pressures begin to ease.
Partner Stephen Johnston stated The book is a way for us here at Equicapita to
help business owners plan for the sale of their company. It can be difficult and
trying process. Hopefully The Equicapita Little Book of What Next? can help.
Obviously we would also be pleased if after reading the book, that owners
consider Equicapita as a potential purchaser of their business.
Partner Mike Cook continued we spent a lot of time and effort putting ourselves
in the shoes of the owner in the business sale process. As a buyout fund,
Equicapita deals with hundreds of potential deals a year so we have a good
appreciation of how challenging the process can be for entrepreneurs. Ideally
business owners read the book, can gain some useful insight into how buyers
like Equicapita conduct an acquisition process and then feel confortable
contacting us to investigate sale possibilities.
Thomas Syvret, Vice President, added we attempted to distill down a lot of
complex experience gained over a career in private equity into what we believe is
an accessible and useful road map for business owners entering into a sale.
