First Canadian Capital Markets Ltd.’s mandate is to identify early stage opportunities and qualify them through extensive technical due diligence. It is only after an exhaustive selection process that FCCM commits internal capital and leverages the financial resources of its investment partners.

Any organization considering a transaction needs to verify all the assumptions it is making about that transaction. All encompassing due diligence provides peace of mind by analyzing and validating any financial, commercial, operational and strategic assumptions being made. Due diligence services include: evaluating earnings potential and equity; performing business due diligence; handling asset validation and financial modeling; and developing industry comparables and corporate positioning.

FCCM’s priority is also to be conversant with the multitude of strategies that exist among our network of private investors and portfolio managers, and we are keenly aware of these specific preferences. With that in mind, our research initiatives and due diligence allow us to properly identify, and therefore present, only that product which meets the known criteria of each individual investor.   

Conviction Through Research

FCCM relies on its own past experience as well as established relationships with industry specific consultants in forming a confident view of the future. Through years of market exposure to various sector cycles, we have become adept at identifying opportunities that make sense and also at uncovering subtleties and red flags that are not readily apparent. Our clients know that they can always rely on us to be thorough. FCCM's partnership approach to investment opportunities and our intense due diligence process are the key factors responsible for our success to date.
