For nearly 20 years, the Business Transfer Awards have celebrated entrepreneurs who successfully ensure the continuity, growth, and long-term sustainability of businesses across Quebec. As a flagship business transfer recognition program, the awards shine a spotlight on inspiring stories of family succession, employee buyouts, and entrepreneurial acquisitions.
Over the years, the program has brought together a community of entrepreneurs who share a common ambition: securing the future of Quebec businesses while preserving their legacy. Each year, their stories showcase the vision, determination, and leadership required to build the next generation of successful companies.
