Aldrin Raphael Fernandes

Broker of Record

Aldrin Fernandes said his experience as an immigrant, who went through the process of buying and selling companies since coming to Canada, combined with his marketing and accounting background, led him to create a boutique business brokerage. “At ARBB, we want to get deals done—the right deals. We are a matchmaking service between sellers and buyers, and we take that responsibility very seriously,” says Fernandes. “Both our buyer and seller clients can be assured that we are truly trying to find the right partners to deliver win-win situations for both parties. We had a great year in 2016, but stay tuned because we’ve got some amazing changes coming that will allow us to serve our clients better and more efficiently.”

Aldrin was recently honoured by the International Business Brokers Association with a Chairman’s Circle Award and the Deal Maker Award for 2016.

Jim Stan

Business Development Manager

Jim would tell you that his role within the company is like Robert De Niro’s character in “The Intern;” however, the value he adds to the company and our clients is immense. Having lived in many cities across Canada and owning multiple companies in the past, he is a wealth of knowledge. A testament to Jim’s character ? He started two fundraising projects that have generated over $3 million in funds for local charities.
