Find out what makes us different from the rest.
At Relay, all we do is assist in the sale of SMBs. Being 100% dedicated to combining the hands-on, bespoke work required to prepare a business for market with the benefits of scale, we leverage a large and growing network of credible, interested buyers across Canada and abroad to drive exceptional results for our private company clients.
Business Transitions, Done Better.
Our partners at Relay have the opportunity to do the work they love, for the clients they choose. Our clients’ interests come first, always. This is easy for any firm to say, but in our experience the proof is in culture, driven by the organization and compensation structure of a service provider. We marry the best elements of skilled execution, entrepreneurial spirit and partnership to create our winning formula at Relay. We have come from other firms where we learned our craft over many decades and we work at Relay to be in business FOR ourselves, but not BY ourselves.
Importantly, we never forget that every step in a transaction builds upon the last, and that we must be at all times incredibly disciplined to surface and ultimately deliver the best results for our clients. We understand our clients have built their businesses, often from the ground up, over years, decades and sometimes generations, and we mirror this commitment when working with them to crystallize the value of all that they have created.
Simply put, we’re “all-in” with our clients at both a business and personal level. Because business is personal, to our clients and to us. We are dedicated to a more rewarding, collaborative and client-centered approach.
Welcome to Relay Transition Partners. Business transitions, done better.
Meet Our Partners
Our partners at Relay come from a range of backgrounds, with relevant experience and demonstrated track records of success in the sale of SMBs. Our partners are “hands on” – meaning who you see is who you get, and who will be driving the day-to-day execution of your transaction. A separate management team oversees our firm behind the scenes, freeing up our advisory partners to be 100% focused on the work we do for our clients.
We intend to actively add well-known and highly regarded partners across the country. If you are an experienced sell-side advisory professional that is passionate about your craft and looking for a best-in-class platform from which you can best serve your clients while enjoying the full economic benefit of your career potential, let’s talk.
Leveraging Our Relationship with Fort Capital Partners
Relay builds on the experience and infrastructure of Fort Capital, one of Canada’s leading boutique investment banking firms. What that means is we benefit from their wealth of transaction experience, technology and data services, management infrastructure, and physical office space. While we are separate firms, we are under common ownership and therefore highly coordinated and designed to complement each other. Learn more about Fort Capital here.
