In the fall of 2024, Chinook Business Advisory had the pleasure of guiding a strategic merger between COR Solutions Ltd. and SafetyComply Services Inc.. This combination has redefined the landscape of safety and compliance services across Canada.

About the Companies
Founded to help businesses navigate the complex world of COR/SECOR certification and occupational health and safety requirements, COR Solutions built a strong reputation as a trusted partner for custom safety programs, audit preparation, and contractor registry support.

SafetyComply has long been recognized as an innovator in safety consulting, compliance strategy, and digital safety management. It is committed to helping companies of all sizes build safer, more efficient workplaces.

The Opportunity
As COR Solutions explored succession and growth options, it was clear that aligning with a complementary partner could elevate its capabilities and deliver even greater value to clients.

Chinook Business Advisory played a hands-on role throughout the process:

• Chinook helped shape the business case for the merger by negotiating a mutual upside to a new market that both companies could enter together.
• Chinook facilitated a collaborative interview process between buyer and seller, where both sides grew to trust each other.
• With a clear presentation of the value of COR Solutions, Safety Comply was able to make an offer that worked for both parties.

The Outcome
With the merger complete, COR Solutions has become the flagship offering under the SafetyComply banner, uniting deep expertise and expanding the range of services available to clients. Businesses now benefit from:

• Custom Safety Programs and Manuals tailored to each industry
• COR/SECOR Certification Support for achieving and maintaining critical benchmarks
• Pre-Qualification and Contractor Registry Support to help companies secure more contracts
• Digital Safety Program Management and Online Training
  
  

A New Chapter
This strategic partnership positions SafetyComply to provide comprehensive safety solutions to an even broader range of industries while preserving COR Solutions’ legacy of excellence.

We extend our congratulations to both teams on a successful merger and a bright future ahead.

At Chinook Business Advisory, we’re committed to supporting business owners through every stage of their journey, from valuation to exit.
