Funding the Deal: Where Canadian Acquisition Capital Comes From

This panel examines where financing gaps are emerging in the Canadian ecosystem and why viable deals stall. From lender appetite and capital structures to the deal terms that determine whether financing actually comes together, panelists bring both the capital side and the transaction side of the table. Drawing on the Canadian and U.S. experience, the session explores how policy, institutional design, and market innovation could create smoother financing pathways for both acquisition entrepreneurs and selling owners.
