What we offer
Owner-operator succession planning
A 2017 BDC study surveyed thousands of entrepreneurs across Canada. ~49% of Canadian entrepreneurs are expecting to leave their businesses in the coming years with more than half expecting to sell or transfer their business outside their family. Chronos Capital provides a compelling exit alternative for business owners who are considering retirement or taking a reduced role in the day-to-day operations.
Dedicated active management
Chronos Capital Inc. founder Ali Sabur is committed to not only finding the right company, but working collaboratively with the senior leadership to actively manage the business going forward. Ali will be your principal point of contact throughout the process. Having spent nine years in Investment Banking Mergers & Acquisitions advisory, Ali is committed to ensuring the transaction process is completed in a timely and professional manner.
Protecting your legacy
Business owners have a variety of options when considering transitioning their businesses. A sale to a strategic buyer or private equity fund could be considered, but can come with significant trade-offs from limited active (if not passive) management of the business to material cost cutting. Chronos Capital is focused on actively managing and growing the company you worked hard to build.
Flexible deal structures
Chronos Capital understands that a business transition is a crucially important process for entrepreneurs. Whether you are looking for a complete exit from your business, are seeking ongoing involvement or have other concerns (e.g. regarding tax planning), Chronos Capital has the flexibility to structure bespoke solutions that work for both sides.
Patient capital
Amazon Founder and CEO, Jeff Bezos, was asked about the best investment advice he ever received from Warren Buffet. His response was that when he asked Buffet why everyone doesn’t copy his investment style, Buffet replied “because nobody wants to get rich slow”. Jeff Bezos established Amazon in 1994 and Warren Buffet acquired Berkshire Hathaway in 1962-1964 - both sit atop the Forbes billionaires list. Chronos Capital’s focus is on pursuing the long-term, sustainable growth of your business - not next quarter’s earnings.
