Fortier Paysage Ensures the Continuity of a Well-Established Business and a Recognized Local Expertise

Sainte-Justine, July 7, 2026

The next generation of entrepreneurs is alive and well in the Les Etchemins region. Through the acquisition of the assets of Les Embellissements Langevin by Cédrik Fortier, a well-established landscaping business will continue its operations under the name Fortier Paysage, ensuring the continuity of a trusted local business and its recognized expertise.

Proud to contribute to the success of this business transfer, SADC Bellechasse-Etchemins supported the entrepreneur by developing a financing package tailored to his needs. The project benefited from financing through the Youth Strategy Fund, the Business Transfer Strategy Fund, and the Regular Investment Fund, helping cover the costs associated with the acquisition while providing the working capital needed to support operations during the company’s first year under new ownership.

This combination of financing tools has enabled the entrepreneur to take over an established business while giving him the resources needed to continue its development and ensure uninterrupted service to its customers.

“Acquiring a business is a major challenge for a young entrepreneur, but SADC was there to support us every step of the way. Their team helped us structure the project and find the right financing solutions. Today, our entire 2026 season is already fully booked, and we’re already taking reservations for 2027. It’s incredibly motivating for what’s ahead.” Cédrik Fortier, Owner, Fortier Paysage.

For SADC, this project perfectly illustrates the importance of dedicated business transfer programs in supporting the next generation of entrepreneurs and maintaining economic activity in rural communities. By ensuring the continuity of Les Embellissements Langevin under a new generation of ownership, Fortier Paysage is preserving valuable local expertise while laying the foundation for future growth.
