Why We Exist

Canada is entering the largest business transition in its history.

75% of Canadian business owners plan to exit their businesses within a decade, and yet fewer than half have a transition plan in place. For many owners, the biggest barrier is not the transaction itself, but the operational readiness of their company:

Outdated systems
Owner-dependent processes
Weak documentation
Inventory and procurement issues
Lack of KPIs and real-time data
Inconsistent margins or operational bottlenecks

These issues reduce valuation, increase buyer risk, and make transitions harder for both the seller and their employees.

New Wave Consulting solves this problem.
