Impact Story: Financing Growth with the Long Game in Mind

A Partnership That Spans Every Stage of the Transaction 

This client’s story began like many entrepreneurial ventures: in a garage.

The founder raised early investor capital, built their first facility, and proved there was real market demand. Once the business established a strong track record, an institutional investor came on board, which opened the door to a new phase of growth. 

When Stawowski McGill started working with them in October 2021, they had ambitious goals, and a clear need for a financing and reporting structure that could scale with them. Our team helped bring a range of Canadian banks to the table, ultimately sourcing more than $240 million in financing across multiple transactions. To ensure each deal was structured right, we built detailed financial and forecast models, prepared clear lender information packages, and guided the client through each stage of negotiation, structuring, and due diligence. 

Before every expansion, we model the financial impact of new debt, helping leadership understand how it will affect cash flow, performance, financial covenants, and future decisions.  

As each project transitions into operations, we stay close to the business, continuing to support both bank and management reporting, a key part of our long-term CFO partnership approach. 

Results: Sustainable Growth Across Canada 

For us, success isn’t just about completing a financing deal. It’s about seeing the client thrive long after the financing is in place.

Since 2021, they’ve opened and acquired 13 facilities across Canada, and are on track to add four more in the next year, with several additional locations already in the pipeline. 

Their growth shows what’s possible when a business pairs ambition with financial discipline and partners with a fractional CFO team focused on long-term, sustainable success.
