Capital Advisory
Strategic advice on debt, equity, and growth capital — structuring, sourcing, and negotiation across institutional and private capital markets.
Glenforest Capital is a Toronto-based advisory firm partnering with founders, executives, and investors at the most consequential moments — capital raising, M&A, restructuring, and long-horizon strategy.
Founded in Toronto, Glenforest Capital was established to provide privately-held businesses and their owners with the kind of senior, independent advice typically reserved for the largest institutions. We are intentionally selective — working with a limited number of clients each year so that every engagement receives the attention it deserves.
Our work spans capital advisory, mergers and acquisitions, corporate strategy, and financial planning for the next chapter of growth, transition, or succession. We are advisors, not intermediaries — and we measure our success by the outcomes our clients achieve.
From early-stage capital strategy to large-scale transactions, our engagements are tailored, senior-led, and grounded in decades of operating and transactional experience.
Strategic advice on debt, equity, and growth capital — structuring, sourcing, and negotiation across institutional and private capital markets.
Sell-side, buy-side, and merger advisory for owners pursuing transformational outcomes — managed end-to-end with discretion.
Long-horizon planning, value creation roadmaps, and board-level counsel for management teams navigating growth and inflection points.
Confidential planning for founders and family enterprises preparing for ownership change, generational handover, or full liquidity events.
Independent advice through periods of complexity — balance sheet recapitalization, refinancing, and stakeholder negotiation.
Rigorous, defensible valuation analysis and transaction diligence supporting boards, shareholders, and counter-parties.
The way we work is as deliberate as the advice we give. Four principles shape how we partner with clients.
We hold no proprietary positions and accept no third-party fees. Our only mandate is the client's outcome.
Our work is private by nature. We protect what matters — relationships, reputations, and information — without exception.
Every engagement is led by a senior advisor from start to close. There are no juniors fielding the relationship.
We measure success in years, not deals. Most of our clients return to us — and refer others — for that reason.
We welcome introductions and direct enquiries. All communications are treated with absolute discretion. Initial consultations are without cost or obligation.
