BDO Canada’s M&A and Capital Markets team is pleased to announce that Westland Insurance Group Ltd. (Westland) has acquired National Brokers Insurance Services Inc. (National Brokers Insurance).
National Brokers Insurance is a Canadian and international broker of property and casualty insurance products and services. The brokerage provides custom-tailored solutions for organizations with commercial, group, and specialty insurance needs.
BDO’s M&A and Capital Markets team acted as exclusive financial advisor to National Brokers Insurance, assisting the owners of the business through the entire divestiture process.
BDO followed a detailed plan and quickly identified a list of potential buyers. It was also important they understood our employees’ future plans and our established brands because they remain exactly what we and our customers have come to rely on and trust.
While one might understand the volume of information required, we would have been hard-pressed to see a seamless transaction without the help of our BDO team.
Having all the professional departments under one BDO brand made it easier for us to continue managing our business and put the BDO team to work without delays. BDO supported our divestiture in many ways, including financial preparation, tax filing and tax advice, information gathering and presenting, negotiation, legal services, and finding the right buyer.
Thank you to the entire BDO team!"
