You will not meet another team that works as hard as this one.
Our Experience And Island Network Drive Stronger Negotiations
Most previous deals were completed under NDAs with the utmost discretion. That said, the team can share insight into current and internal company opportunities, including what is actively being pursued for acquisition.
Fraser Paterson, BBA Finance VIU
Fraser has spent over 13 years buying, selling, and growing businesses, with a recent focus on the construction industry. A third-generation Nanaimo local, he brings deep Island roots and strong relationships across Vancouver Island.
Having worked with more than 1,000 Vancouver Island businesses, Fraser is known as a hands-on operator and tough negotiator who acts decisively on behalf of clients. With a BBA in Finance and extensive experience taking companies from idea to exit, he combines financial insight with real execution.
Fraser also brings deep expertise in digital marketing, having spent millions on Facebook and Google Ads while building multiple online businesses. That first-hand experience is applied directly when positioning and selling companies.

Island Daily Deals
2011 – 2015
Co Founder
I started this business at my kitchen table with just a few thousand dollars. I grew it, scaled it, and later exited a company that worked with over 1,000 local businesses and delivered more than $10 million in consumer savings. From door knocking to training team members, my role as CEO evolved significantly over the years.
Advanced Ads
2023 – 2024
General Manager
I managed the acquisition and led the initial strategy implementation for Advanced Ads — one of the most downloaded WordPress ad management plugins on the market. It offered the most customizable options available for publishers to optimize their display ad performance. Picture in Germany with team.
