Canada And Private Company M&A

Canada's private M&A space – for the most part – is one of resilience and consistency. Canada has long been a comparatively stable and amenable place to do deals, even during the COVID-19 pandemic. Low interest rates and convenient access to capital have helped the country maintain a steady and reliable business-as-usual course since the 2008 financial crisis.

Upward trends

Private M&A transactions in Canada have witnessed a significant uptick in recent years – both in terms of deal volume and deal size. This can be attributed to several factors, including a robust economy, a favourable regulatory environment, and the aforementioned convenient access to capital. Moreover, strategic buyers and private equity firms have been key drivers behind the increased activity, seeking to capitalise on the high availability of investment opportunities in the Canadian market.
