Ali Salman

As Managing Partner at Global Franchise Brokers, I lead one of Canada’s top-performing M&A and franchise brokerage teams, sourcing and closing mid-market acquisitions ($1M–$50M) coast to coast.

Our clients include family offices, private equity firms, and entrepreneurial buyers acquiring high-performing assets — from franchises, hotels, gas stations, and manufacturing firms to retail and service chains. As CEO of Workspace Modular, I’m spearheading scalable, factory-built housing and infrastructure solutions — workforce camps, schools, clinics, and mixed-use projects — designed to meet CSA and local code while cutting timelines and costs by up to 40%. 

Our “design-for-repeatability” approach transforms modular construction into a bankable, off-the-shelf asset class, fast-tracking approvals and solving density challenges across Canada.

Big move for Saskatchewan 🇨🇦

Sandvik breaks ground on a $51M mining equipment facility in Saskatoon — a powerful signal for Canada’s resource economy.

✔️ Major capital investment
✔️ 30 new skilled jobs
✔️ Strengthening Canada’s mining supply chain
✔️ More value created locally instead of overseas

This is how regional economies grow: investment, infrastructure, and high-skill employment.

Canada’s mining sector isn’t slowing down — it’s scaling up. 📈

Talks about #legal, #lawyer, #lawfirm, #legaltech, and #legaltechnology

Global Franchise & Business Broker | Cross Border M&A Advisor | Private Equity | Modular & Prefab Builder

I’ll be honest.

As someone who leans conservative, I didn’t expect to say this.

But I respect what I’m seeing.

When I look at Canada today, I don’t just want speeches. I want deals. I want trade missions. I want our Prime Minister sitting across the table from global business leaders and talking growth.

Seeing Canada push to expand trade with India and actively court investment from major global companies tells me one thing:

We’re back at the table.

You don’t grow an economy by staying comfortable.
You grow it by negotiating.
By showing up.
By competing.

Meeting with leaders like Mukesh Ambani to explore partnerships for Canadian businesses sends a signal that Canada wants capital, partnerships, and global relevance.

That’s pro-business.
That’s pro-growth.
That’s pro-Canada.

As a conservative, my priority has always been:
• Strong private sector
• Global trade diversification
• Investment flowing into Canadian companies
• Jobs created at home

If we’re serious about doubling trade, attracting foreign direct investment, and positioning Canada as a stable, competitive partner — that’s something I can support.

Politics aside, economic strength should be a shared goal.

Because when Canada wins deals,
Canadian businesses scale.
Entrepreneurs expand.
Workers benefit.

And that’s something we should all want.

Canada is sitting on one of the most important uranium discoveries in the world.

The Rook I Project in Saskatchewan by NexGen Energy is expected to become one of the world’s highest-grade uranium mines and a major contributor to global nuclear energy.

Why this matters for Canada:

• Billions in economic impact
• Thousands of jobs during construction and operations
• Major tax revenue for federal and provincial governments
• Strengthens Canada’s position as a global uranium powerhouse

As the world pushes for clean nuclear energy, projects like Rook I will help power the next generation of electricity.

Canada isn’t just exporting resources.

We’re exporting energy security to the world.

I’ve always believed that rural Canada is full of opportunity. Small towns are built on hardworking people, loyal customers, and communities that truly support local businesses.

While many investors only focus on big cities, we decided to go the other way.

Recently, we acquired Tofield Pizza, and this is just the beginning.

Our vision is simple:
Build great local pizza shops, serve the community well, and expand across rural Alberta with multiple locations over time.

Small towns deserve great businesses too.

And when you invest in rural communities, you’re not just building a company — you’re helping build the local economy.

Stay tuned.
New rural Alberta locations will be announced soon.

$2.6 Billion Dollar Deal!

At 2AM, the lights are still on.

Coffee is still pouring.
Pancakes are still flipping.
Families are still laughing in booths that have seen decades of memories.

And now, a new chapter begins.

Denny’s has officially entered a $620 million ownership transition to private equity investors — a move that could shape the next era of this iconic brand.

For many, Denny’s isn’t just a restaurant.
It’s late-night study sessions.
Road trips.
Post-game celebrations.
First jobs.
Franchise owners building generational wealth one location at a time.

With new capital and strategic backing, the opportunity ahead is simple:

Stronger support for operators.
Fresh investment into growth.
Smarter modernization.

Every legacy brand eventually reaches a turning point.

This might be one of those moments.

The sign is still glowing.
The grills are still hot.
But the future?

It’s being rewritten — one decision at a time.

Great opportunity for Canada to step up and fill the gap. Tremendous opportunity for energy sector in Canada 🇨🇦

British Columbia’s natural gas pipeline system is set to grow substantially

If your group is looking to deploy capital into quality Canadian businesses, we likely have opportunities worth exploring.

Canada and Alberta have reached an agreement-in-principle on a new Cooperation Agreement for Environmental and Impact Assessments, aimed at accelerating the approval and construction of major projects.

The agreement is part of broader reforms to Bill C-69 and the Impact Assessment Act (IAA) and is designed to better align federal and provincial reviews, reduce duplication, and provide a clearer pathway for critical infrastructure and resource projects to move forward faster.
