We don't buy your company.We multiply what it's worth.

Then everyone sells together, in one transaction. No fund, no holding period, no auction.

A founder and an operator meeting across a work table

We watched private equity get rich combining companies like ours. Then we realized we'd already built the platform.

We're operators. We spent years building and running service companies, and watching the funds make more money combining companies like ours than anyone made running them. The playbook was never a secret: buy, combine, sell the group at a price no single company gets. It just was never meant for us. Keystone exists to finish the play: close as one, and the premium the funds kept for themselves goes to the people who actually built it.

Québec, our first vertical

How it works

Start with the platform. Lock in the best. Integrate what pays. Close as one.

The platform

Every vertical starts with an anchor platform, secured first.

Lock in the best

We come to you directly, off-market. Each company locks in under a definitive LOI, above its standalone value.

Integrate what pays

Only what moves the group's ROI gets integrated: financials, technology, procurement, demand. Nothing else.

Close as one

One simultaneous transaction. The group sells as one, at the price only scale commands.

A transaction being worked through at a boardroom table

The promise

More than you're worth alone, and a seat at the group's exit.

A guaranteed baseline, in writing.
Zero auction fatigue. NDA before numbers.
Your legacy intact: brand, team and leadership stay standing.
An optional tax-deferred rollover, if you want the upside.

What we hold to

Velocity

« Months, not years. »

A transaction that drags dies quietly. Speed protects everyone at the table.

Alignment

« Everyone crosses the line together. »

One closing, one price logic. Nobody wins at someone else's expense.

Operator DNA

« Run by operators, not spreadsheets. »

Integration is decided by people who know what a dispatch board and a payroll Friday look like.

ROI for the group

« We integrate what pays. Nothing else. »

No integration theater. Every shared system has to move the group's ROI.

Discretion

« NDA before numbers. »

Shopping a company around kills it quietly. Small circle, no exceptions.

Legacy

« What you built stays standing. »

Your name and reputation are part of what makes the platform valuable. We protect them like the asset they are.

What we look for

HVAC, plumbing, electrical.

$1M+ EBITDA, in Québec.

First vertical: the mechanical building trades in Québec. If your company clears a million in EBITDA and your name means something in your market, we should talk.

Everyone crosses the line together.
