Most business owners plan to fund their retirement by selling the company. It sounds like a plan. It's a hope.

The average business sale takes two to four years. A significant chunk of businesses listed for sale never actually sell. Of the ones that do, many sell for a number nowhere close to what the owner expected.

Mike Tyson earned about 400 million dollars in his career. By 2003, he was 38 million dollars in debt.

Making money and keeping money are two completely different skills. Most people only ever learn the first one.

Our team had the pleasure of being the Presenting partner of the State of the City address this morning. It was our fifth consecutive year partnering with the Stratford & District Chamber of Commerce on this event!

Tommy opened the event addressing everyone in the room, and I had the pleasure of hosting a fireside chat with Mayor Martin Ritsma to get his perspective on important issues that have impacted Stratford over the past year.

Supporting the communities where our clients live and work is one of our core values, and it was an honour to find ourselves in the position to be able to ask some questions on behalf of the thriving business community in Stratford.
