M&A and Acquisitions

We buy education
businesses. Seriously.

If you run an institution, training company, or edtech platform and are looking to exit, merge, or find a committed strategic partner, we want to hear from you.

What We Look For

We know what good looks like.

We are particularly drawn to founder-owned businesses considering transition and to assets with strong fundamentals that have not yet found their ceiling.

Colleges and Vocational Institutions

Canadian and US colleges, vocational schools, and career training providers across all program types and sizes.

Trades Schools

Trade and technical training institutions with operating programs, licensing, and employer relationships.

Skills Training Providers

Workforce development, upskilling, and corporate training companies with a defined student base and repeatable delivery model.

Edtech Platforms

Technology platforms serving students, institutions, or employers in the education sector, at any stage of development or scale.

Geography

Canada, the United States, and select international markets. Our deepest experience is in Canadian regulation and US higher education, with operational reach across 20+ countries through MSM Unify.

How We Work

Direct. Fast. No intermediaries needed.

We do our own diligence and move at speed. You deal directly with Sanjay Laul, not a committee or an advisor chain. Decisions are made by the people who will actually own and operate the business.

We have built, operated, and scaled education businesses for 25 years. We understand what we are looking at and we know how to bring an institution into the group without disrupting what makes it valuable.

Term agreement

We present terms directly and transparently. Our goal is a clean structure that works for both sides, not complexity that serves no one but advisors.

Close and integrate

With 25 years of operating experience, we know how to bring an institution into the group without disruption to students, staff, or accreditation status.
