Fractional Corporate Development is how ambitious Canadian companies grow through acquisition without building an internal M&A team to do it. We embed alongside your leadership, source and evaluate targets, run the process end-to-end, and stay in the trenches until the deal closes — and often long after.
Canadian operating companies pursuing growth through acquisition — and the seasoned acquirers who know what a good deal pipeline takes.
You run a business that's growing and ready to consolidate, enter a new market, or acquire capability. You've looked at a few targets informally. You don't have a dedicated corporate development team — and you don't want one on payroll until the deal flow and balance sheet justifies it.
You've bought and sold businesses before. You value a team that builds real owner relationships, earns early access to opportunities, and brings deals forward only when there's genuine alignment and a real likelihood of closing.
They run in parallel, not in sequence — and they compound over time.
We learn your business the way an acquirer would — unit economics, competitive position, growth thesis, what you're trying to build. From there, we build an acquisition strategy that matches it: the verticals worth targeting, the size band that fits, the geographies where consolidation makes sense.
Output: a living opportunity map.Most founders aren't acquisition-ready the day they start looking. We help you get there. Corporate structure, deal financing options, integration muscle, the diligence files a seller will demand to see.
By the time we make an approach, your house is in order.We build a proprietary pipeline of targets that match your thesis — identified, researched, and qualified before we approach. Outreach is done in your name, in your voice, with the credibility of a professional M&A process behind it.
Real relationships, cultivated over time.When a live opportunity lands, we run the evaluation. Financial modelling, diligence coordination, negotiation strategy, transaction structuring — all the way through close. You stay in your operator seat; we handle the deal mechanics and bring you the decisions that matter.
Operator stays operating.“Vamos has been a tireless partner in our search — bringing discipline, alignment, and a sharp focus on the right targets.”
