Sustainably growing BC businesses, one partnership at a time.
Evergreen Capital is a group of investors looking to acquire, hold and grow great businesses in British Columbia over the next 25 years.
We are hands-on, long-term investors affording BC-based business owners opportunities for critical change, growth, transition and returns in both the short- and long-term. We partner with sellers to find succession solutions that are tailored to their unique situation, and offer transition plans to acquire up to 100% of the business, all while having some fun in the process.
Our core values drive everything we do.
Integrity
Honesty, transparency and fairness drive every decision we make. We do not compromise our values for anything.
Hard Work
Experience and intelligence are crucial, but only pay off when combined with focus and dedicated time on task.
Accountability
We set short- and long-term goals with our teams and partners, and hold ourselves accountable to strategic decisions and action plans.
Humility
We don’t take ourselves too seriously. We love what we do, and want to have fun doing it. We treat people fairly and with respect in all situations.
