  • providing and/or assisting with raising of additional growth or acquisition capital; and

PRIVEQ supports the efforts of management to improve growth prospects and operating performance including:

  • using PRIVEQ's extensive contact base to generate business leads;
  • strengthening the company's Board of Directors through recruitment of independent directors and active participation at the Board level;
  • providing access to operational process experts; and
  • assisting management with contingency planning and risk management.

PRIVEQ's investee company partners regularly attest to the success of our 'value-added' approach:


Pierre Charron, CEO of R. Nicholls Distributors Inc., remarks on the Nicholls transaction: "Throughout the entire transaction process, PRIVEQ has felt right as a partner. From day one, their experienced and dedicated team was responsive and invested in understanding the critical elements. Not only did PRIVEQ supply and coordinate the required professional assistance, but more importantly they provided the strategic input which lead to a successful end. That end is now a new beginning for R. Nicholls Distributors Inc., as our team looks forward to the future with great excitement and confidence knowing PRIVEQ is by our side. Nous sommes fiers et confiants avec PRIVEQ à nos cotés".

Commenting on the Frantic transaction, Jamie Brown, CEO of Frantic, said "PRIVEQ's team was not only professional and timely throughout this transaction, but completely forthright and dependable. Every time our discussions hit a roadblock, they showed flexibility and creativity in working with us to reach a "win-win" solution. Their business acumen and transaction experience allowed the deal to close more quickly than anticipated and the work ethic and knowledge of their team will make PRIVEQ a key part of our business success going forward."
