I’m Steve Schmidt. I help business owners sell, entrepreneurs buy, and owners prepare for a successful transition—with clarity and confidence.
Let’s talk about your business
Whether you’re ready to act or just starting to think ahead, we begin with where you are—and where you want to go.
You’ve put years into building your business. Let’s prepare it for the market and navigate the sale with care.
The right acquisition starts with clear objectives. Get support evaluating opportunities and moving toward a well-informed decision.
A future exit starts with the decisions you make today. Build a plan to strengthen your business and expand your options.
Having owned businesses and worked in larger companies, I understand that a business is more than its financial statements. It represents years of work, relationships and responsibility.
My background includes manufacturing and distribution. Today, as an M&A advisor with Investiprise, I bring buyers and owners together and help them work through the decisions that shape a transaction.
My approach is straightforward: listen carefully, explain the options, and work collaboratively with you and your professional advisors.
Tell me about your business, your timing and what you want your next chapter to look like.
We discuss your situation, the questions that matter and where support could be useful.
If there’s a fit, we agree on a sensible path forward and the scope of any engagement.
No. Early planning gives you time to identify gaps, improve transferability and consider your options. A first conversation can help clarify what deserves attention now.
Confidentiality is central to the process. We can begin with a high-level conversation and agree on how to handle sensitive information before you share detailed business documents.
Yes. A transaction brings together business, financial, tax and legal considerations. I work collaboratively with your professional advisors so that each specialist contributes their expertise.
Absolutely. I work in English and French. Choose the language you’re most comfortable using for an important business decision.
Buying, selling, or planning ahead? Tell me a little about your situation and we can take it from there.
