Robbinex Inc. is a consultative business intermediary firm specializing in the sale of mid-sized privately held companies. Robbinex was founded in 1974 by Doug Robbins in Hamilton, Ontario but since then has expanded to include offices throughout Canada and the United States. Robbinex focuses on midsize businesses with sales between 2.5 and 20 million dollars but has sold companies with over 50 million in sales in the past. Plan for Business Succession
In recent years the company has begun to focus on the education aspects of M&A; a previously avoided subject in the industry. Due to the lack of information on the subject, the company felt that a shift in focus towards education could open up new horizons and as such, they have created a number of workshops, seminars, "webinars" and other training programs to help educate their employees, clients, other professionals and business intermediaries.
Robbinex is responsible for a fair deal of academic literature on the subject of business intermediation which have been published in several newspapers and magazines, including the Hamilton Spectator, M&A Today and the Financial Post (a division of the National Post) to name a few.
