“When I decided the time was right to explore selling my business, our accounting firm referred me to Osprey Capital Partners because they had some mutual customers with positive experiences working together. I can’t thank both firms enough, because in a world where so many firms were pitching me with grand promises for my software business, the team at Osprey provided a welcomed calm to the chaos. The people at Osprey are fantastic to work with, and their clearly honed process proved to be extremely effective. Stephen and Casey clearly set expectations early on, and we had a great time working together through each step of their process. I’m very happy to say that our outcome far exceeded our original expectations, and my business is now in great hands. I’m forever grateful for Stephen, Casey, Bob, and the rest of the team at Osprey.”

“With the specter of the capital gains tax changes looming over the deal, I know I had the right partner in John Mottola and Osprey Capital. John’s expertise and counsel is one of the significant contributing factors to getting the deal done on time – and structured in a way that works for me and the business.”

“We found the Osprey team to be good people, well connected and experienced in the sale, which allowed us to successfully close the transaction in a timely manner. In the end, it felt like a win–win. They found a fantastic buyer that valued our people, and they have a vision for a prosperous future for both them and the company.”

“We found the right partner in Robert Brown and Osprey Capital. Robert’s expertise made the process much easier in the difficult economic environment created by the pandemic.”

“Osprey Capital played a key role in sourcing the opportunity and guided us through negotiations. They ensured that the structure of the acquisition enabled us to maintain the core values of the vendors, employees and to position us for growth and expansion for the future of all businesses under the ownership.”

“This deal was one where long-standing relationships with both MCC Holdings and Mosaic contributed to the efficiency of the confidential process and the success of the transaction. Structured as a private company, the Mosaic portfolio of businesses have now been positioned for future success.”

“Osprey Capital’s professionalism, depth and transactional focus was evident from the outset. They ensured that our objectives were at the forefront of the process that resulted in an outcome that exceeded our family’s expectations.”

Alan Greenspan, President of Confederation Freezers, commented; “This is an exciting transaction for our family and a new chapter in our history. We are enormously proud of what we have accomplished over the last 47 years and are confident that, in partnering with Premium Brands, the legacy of Confederation Freezers will be honoured and maintained. We strongly believe that Premium Brands is the right partner, at the right time, to foster these ideals as we move to the next stage of our business.”

“Osprey Capital’s team assisted with the long purchase and sale process from start to finish. Their attention to detail along with guidance, support and negotiating provided us with the best possible outcome. They offered the highest level of understanding, wisdom, experience, patience, and ability to execute that ultimately made this transaction such a success. I had top level support from Stephen Jakob personally and this differed from accounting firms we had worked with over the years.”

“Our vision is to be Canada’s premier mid-market investment banking firm offering industry-leading M&A and financing services.”
