About AJS Capital

AJS Capital is a founder-led advisory focused on helping business owners and buyers navigate complex transactions with clarity, structure, and discipline. We sell businesses. We create opportunities.

This is not a volume business. It’s a senior-advice business.

AJS Capital was built to serve owners and buyers who want experienced guidance on decisions that actually matter.

Built on Real Transaction Experience

I’ve spent over 20 years working in business sales, commercial real estate, business financing, and deal structuring in Alberta.

Over that time, I’ve:

  • Sold and advised on 40+ businesses

  • Structured and negotiated complex commercial transactions

  • Worked with owner-operators, investors, and professional buyers

  • Sat on both sides of the table as an owner and as an advisor

AJS Capital exists because I’ve seen too many deals fail for reasons that had nothing to do with price — and everything to do with preparation, structure, and execution.

Most business brokers focus on volume.

I don’t.

I focus on:

  • Deal quality

  • Preparation

  • Structure

  • And execution

Whether I’m working with a buyer or a seller, the objective is the same:

Reduce risk. Improve clarity. Increase the odds of a successful close.

That requires a disciplined, process-driven approach — and sometimes uncomfortable honesty.

This is Not a Listing Firm. It’s an Advisory Practice

Independent, But Not Isolated

AJS Capital is a founder-led practice by design.

That means:

  • You work directly with me

  • No junior handoffs

  • No layers of account managers

At the same time, I work closely with a trusted network of professionals, including:

  • Business and M&A lawyers

  • CPAs and tax advisors

  • Commercial lenders and private capital sources

  • Valuation and due diligence specialists

You get senior advice, backed by a deep professional bench when needed.

Who I Typically Work With

Business owners thinking about exit in the next 1–5 years

  • Owners who want to understand what their business is really worth

  • Buyers looking to acquire a real, financeable business

  • Investors and operators who want disciplined deal support

This is not for:

  • Hobby businesses

  • One-person jobs

  • Or situations where the numbers don’t matter

Reviews

  • Jey worked for the Vendor of a business my group purchased. Although Jey worked for "the other party", I thought he did a great job in facilitating the two parties at key points in the transaction. While we understood his role to advise the best interests of his client, he also brought a balanced approach that allowed completion of the deal. Highly recommend Jey.

  • We worked across the table from Jey and his team on our acquisition of All Type Electric. I was immediately impressed by the caliber of the information they had on hand, including a robust sale memorandum and a data room. Once deal negotiations were underway, Jey did a great job as 'statesman' bridging the two sides on the inevitable key issues which arise in a purchase and sale agreement. I look forward to working with Jey again in the Alberta market and highly recommend the group to any business owner looking for liquidity.

  • I have known Jey for over 20 years. We met through our MBA alumni and have maintained a solid relationship. Jey is a very bright and progressive business leader. His firm and team of professionals can support businesses with the complex landscape of mergers and acquisitions. I hold Jey in very high regard and would never hesitate to refer any prospective client to Jey, if they are looking to buy or sell a business.

The Common Thread

Whether someone is buying or selling, the pattern is always the same:

  • The stakes are high

  • The information is imperfect

  • The consequences are real

My role is to bring clarity, structure, and discipline into decisions that are too important to leave to guesswork.
