What I do

Three ways I help you move forward

One advisor across the whole transaction — valuation, buyers, and the financing stack that makes the deal fundable.

Sell-Side Advisory

Valuation, confidential information memorandum, buyer sourcing, negotiation, and close. Off-market and confidential — never advertised.

Sell my business →

Buy-Side Advisory

Find, screen, and evaluate acquisition targets that fit your strategy — and your financing profile — before you spend a dollar on diligence.

Buy a business →

Acquisition Financing

CSBFL, BDC, and bank term debt — structured into a capital stack that lenders actually approve. Financeability tested before any bank sees the file.

Cash Flow & Asset-Based Lending

Cash-flow loans, ABL, operating lines, and working capital through transition.

CIM & Lender-Ready Packaging

Business plan, EBITDA/SDE normalization, and DSCR analysis — built the way banks read a file.

Capital Stack & Financeability Review

A pre-submission check: can this deal be funded as structured — and how do we fix it?

How I work

From first conversation to funded close

One advisor across the whole transaction — no hand-offs, no black box.

Valuation & positioning

I establish what your business is really worth — and what buyers will actually pay for.

Confidential preparation

Financials normalized, CIM built, lender package prepared. Nothing advertised — NDAs first, always.

Targeted buyer outreach

I approach qualified buyers who fit strategically and financially — never a blast list, never tire-kickers.

Negotiate, fund & close

Offers negotiated, financing structured and stress-tested, diligence managed through funding and close.

Ravisha Gupta

I used to sit on the bank’s side of the table. Seven years across TD, Scotiabank, Tangerine, and Questrade taught me exactly what lenders and buyers look for — now I sit on yours.

With early-career M&A and transaction advisory experience at KPMG, executive search at Heidrick & Struggles, an MBA in Services Marketing (IMT Ghaziabad), and CIFC certification, I bring a lender’s discipline to every mandate: financeability tested before any bank sees the file.

Proof, not promises

Sample deal structures

A look at how deals in the $500K–$25M range are typically structured and funded. Illustrative, anonymized structures — actual terms vary by lender and file.

$700K — Wellness clinic acquisition Ontario · CSBFL-led

First-time buyer, strong operator, thin collateral. Needed a structure a senior lender would approve without delay.

  • CSBFL term loan$560K
  • Vendor take-back$56K
  • Buyer equity$84K
  • Working-capital line$150K

Why it works: A clean structure with a fast lender-approval path.

$3.2M — Metal fabrication exit Ontario · Bank term + VTB

Founder ready to exit after three decades. Buyer needed the price bridged without over-leveraging day one.

  • Bank term loan$2.08M
  • Vendor take-back$640K
  • Buyer equity$480K
  • ABL revolverOn receivables & inventory

Why it works: The seller reaches full valuation without over-leveraging the buyer.
