Private Equity Services
Mirabilys supports private equity, venture capital, and family offices with operator‑level insight and execution in portfolio companies. We connect investment theses with the realities of day‑to‑day operations in Quebec, across Canada, and throughout North America.
Who We Serve
We work with investors who believe that value creation comes from more than capital structure. Our clients include...
Private equity firms investing in middle‑market companies that require operational turnaround, growth, or succession.
Venture capital funds managing later‑stage portfolio companies facing operational complexity or leadership transitions.
Family offices and long‑term investors seeking stable, sustainable performance in privately held businesses.
In all cases, we act as a bridge between investors, boards, and management teams, using our turnaround management and performance improvement experience to align expectations and actions.
Our Services
Our private equity work is practical and focused on
Operational Due Diligence
We conduct focused operational due diligence to complement financial and commercial work. This includes assessing management capabilities, operating model robustness, execution risk, and the practical feasibility of planned value creation. Our goal is to provide a clear view of what it will take to achieve the thesis, not just whether the numbers add up.
100‑Day Plan
Following an acquisition, we help design and execute a practical 100‑day plan. This includes immediate risk mitigation, integration or transition steps, and early performance improvement initiatives. We ensure that the plan reflects the capacity of the organization and sets the tone for disciplined execution.
Operator in Residence
As an operator in residence, we embed with a portfolio company for a defined period, working closely with management and the sponsor. We lead or support key initiatives, strengthen operating rhythms, and provide the investor with an informed, on‑the‑ground view. This role can blend interim management with targeted turnaround consulting.
Exit Preparation
Before a sale, we help prepare the company to withstand buyer and lender scrutiny. This includes tightening performance, documenting processes, strengthening management reporting, and addressing operational and governance gaps. The aim is to support a smooth process and a valuation that reflects the true potential of the business.
Why PE Firms Work With Us
Our Approach
Operator lens
We evaluate and manage portfolio companies through an operator lens. That means we understand the constraints management faces and can distinguish between what is possible quickly and what requires deeper change.
Alignment with value creation
Our engagement models, including success fees and equity participation, allow us to share in the outcomes we help create. This aligns us with both the fund and the management team, especially in value creation and operational turnaround mandates.
Clarity and candor
Investors need unfiltered insight. We provide candid views about risks, management capacity, and realistic timelines, while remaining constructive partners to management. This balance is essential for trust.
Local understanding, investor fluency
We understand the business context in Quebec and the Canadian middle‑market, while speaking the language of investment committees, lenders, and North American buyers. This combination helps reduce friction between local operators and global investors.
Frequently Asked Questions
At what stage in the deal cycle do you typically get involved?
We can support at several stages: pre‑deal operational due diligence, post‑close 100‑day planning and execution, operator in residence, and exit preparation. The earlier we are involved, the more we can help shape realistic plans.
Do you take board seats?
In some cases, yes. Where appropriate, we can take a board or observer role to support governance and ensure a strong connection between strategy and execution. In other cases, we remain focused on operational mandates without formal board responsibilities.
How do you manage potential conflicts between fund and management interests?
Our role is to align interests, not to pick sides. We are transparent about our objectives and engagement terms and work to create outcomes that are sustainable for both investors and management teams.
Do you only work in Canada?
Our primary focus is Quebec and Canada, but we can also support North American situations, especially where investors have portfolio companies in the region or cross‑border dynamics that require local understanding.
