Hillside Succession

One Focus, One Company.

Mark founded Hillside with a mission to invest, operate, and grow one exceptional business.

We provide a tailored exit strategy for owner-operators, collaborating with you to create a plan that fits your goals - whether that means staying involved, stepping away entirely, or transitioning gradually.

The success of the business and preservation of your legacy are top priorities. Our goal is to honour and embrace what makes your business special - your people, culture, and customers.

If you’re an owner looking to sell to someone who respects your work and values your people, I’d love to chat.
