Business owners looking to sell their businesses and savvy entrepreneurs ready for the next investment opportunity need a reliable broker who can assist them in seamlessly navigating the business transaction marketplace.
At the forefront of addressing this need for reliable valuation and merger and acquisition (M&A) support is William Sivell, owner of Liberty Business Brokers of Ontario.
Currently, his company offers a discreet platform that unifies qualified buyers and sellers, creating a competitive marketplace for business acquisitions across Canada and North America.
From planning to selling, Sivell articulates client expectations and keeps them up-to-date on the necessary information, building a knowledge base that ultimately translates into a successful sale. At the same time, customers new to the business valuation and sale landscape receive comprehensive guidance and education on pricing, marketing, and buyer pitches.
“We follow the tenet, ‘an informed client is ideal in a business selling scenario.’ This is why I contribute significant time, energy, and patience to help businesses conveniently steer through the entire buy-sell processes,” says Sivell.
As a leader in the business brokerage landscape, Liberty Business Brokers maintains long-standing relationships with top Ontario-based advisors. With 14 years in the industry, Sivell has cultivated a robust network of advisors, buyers, and sellers who regularly approach him for streamlined business transactions.
Equipped with secure strategies, Liberty Business Brokers maintains high-level discretion. Potential buyers are required to sign a non-disclosure agreement before sharing any information. In addition, Sivell schedules face-to-face, phone, or virtual conversations to personally qualify buyers before matching their desired business acquisition.
The compact brokerage firm manages all contacts throughout the buy-sell process, delivering high-quality advisory and consistent information flow and management from start to finish. In the onboarding phase, Liberty Business Brokers takes on a passive role, allowing sellers to express their needs and specifications clearly without overwhelming them with excessive market information. In these meetings, Sivell notes retirement as the most common reason for business exits, which, in turn, necessitates capable successors. Educating prospective sellers on establishing a company’s worth, he emphasizes analyzing key success drivers to boost their decision-making.

Through a confidential pricing analysis, Sivell reviews a client’s financial history and observes daily and monthly operations to understand income generation. He evaluates businesses to align with industry niches and market interests, utilizing industry databases, market analysis tools, specialized platform subscriptions, and local market knowledge.
After acquiring end-to-end business insights, Sivell provides credible and defendable information in a value-builder report to provide valuable recommendations supported by quantifiable facts and anecdotal reasoning.
Demonstrating exceptional data-driven services, Liberty Business Brokers helps create a business profile and marketable information that enables customers to confidently market their organization beyond pre-set geographical boundaries.
Recently, it worked with a client looking to exit his ongoing business with 20-plus years of successful operations. Due to his receding health issues, he sought to retire and enjoy the fruits of his long-term labor. In this instance, Liberty Business Brokers created a business profile and marketing material to attract legitimate buyers, including owner-operators, institution investors, and private equity groups. This enabled him to negotiate a strong deal and maximize a sale value that exceeded initial expectations.
Successes like this exemplify the company’s prowess at consistently providing custom advisory and transparent brokerage services. Moving forward, Liberty Business Brokers, spearheaded by Sivell, will continue empowering business buyers and sellers to meet their market desires efficiently and professionally.
