Whether you’re preparing to exit, wondering what your business is worth, or just starting to think about next steps, Morgan Tate brings a unique blend of entrepreneurial experience and creative problem-solving to help buyers and sellers achieve fair deals.
Born and raised in Victoria and a graduate of the Gustavson School of Business, Morgan began his career at IG Wealth Management crafting financial plans for small business owners. He learned that a successful exit does more than fund retirement. It preserves jobs and keeps businesses rooted in their communities. Morgan went on to co-found DealBuilder, a software for business brokers. After scaling the business and closing over $250M in transactions, he sold DealBuilder to Deal Studio and gained firsthand experience of what it takes to exit a business.
At Chinook, Morgan applies that practical exit experience, entrepreneurial grit, and pragmatic problem-solving to help hardworking entrepreneurs sell with confidence. He focuses on structuring fair, low-stress deals that protect value, preserve community impact, and leave owners financially secure without sacrificing the health and clarity that built the business.
