Lynx is a private equity firm that specializes in buying small to medium sized businesses from owners looking to retire. Since 2007, our team has been accumulating experience in successfully identifying, acquiring, and managing dozens of companies throughout ownership transition and beyond.

Lynx is based in Toronto, Canada, but has operations across Canada, the United States, the UK, Netherlands, and Denmark.

Unlike many private equity firms, Lynx’s buy and hold strategy focuses on owning the business for the long term. This requires ongoing support to the business and encouraging the professional development of its personnel. The objective is to grow each business to the benefit of both owner and employees.

• Small-to-medium-sized businesses (EBITDA: CAD $1M - $5M)

• Mature businesses with stable growth (0-10%)

Lynx targets small-to-medium sized businesses with EBITDA $1-$5M CAD operating in mature industries with stable growth and returns, including: service, manufacturing, flooring, retail, and signage.
