Business Acquisitions

Your Legacy. In Safe Hands.

I acquire profitable businesses from owners ready to retire. Fair terms, no games, and a genuine commitment to your employees and the legacy you have built.

About Justin

Not a Fund.
A Father & Operator.

I'm not a faceless private equity firm looking to strip assets and flip for a quick profit. I'm an entrepreneur, investor and father who understands that your business is your "other child" — something you have poured your heart, your weekends, and your best years into building.

I've led asset management teams for a $6B multi-residential portfolio across Canada, working closely with operations, finance and capital planning to create long-term value for owners. I've also managed finance teams supporting both retail and hospitality divisions. Early in my career, I helped launch products and improve processes at one of Canada's largest retailers, learning how to make teams and systems run efficiently.

I've built an eight-figure portfolio of income-producing assets, a portion of which I actively oversee, with the rest through trusted partners — reflecting my hands-on, long-term approach.

My goal isn't to extract value. It's to honor what you've created and take care of the people who helped you build it, with a stewardship mindset.

When you're ready to step back, you deserve a buyer who sees the whole picture — not just the income statement, but the relationships, the culture, and the legacy you are passing on.

— Justin Chung
