Kadenwood Group LLC Avis 

Thanks Kadenwood!

These guys are rockstars. Everything I needed to not only sell, but get connected to the right individuals - they facilitated. Frankly, they kind of went above and beyond because I'm definitely not the easiest to deal with haha.

Appreciate you all.

Raised for a complex transaction professionally and efficiently.

We engaged Kadenwood to advise on the sale of our business, a process none of us had been through before. Their senior team led every stage themselves, from valuation through to closing. They gave us a realistic view of what the company was worth, identified buyers who could actually get a deal done, and kept the process moving without letting us feel rushed.

What we valued most was their candour. They told us early which offers looked strong on paper but were unlikely to close, which saved us months. Discreet, experienced, and fully invested in getting us the right outcome.

Bunch of scammers everything about their firm is so sketchy from their outreach pitching investments or raising capital, I cant find any registration with finra or SEC none of their members are registered they claim to help us raise capital from family office investors but have no assurance of there success none of them are actually in the US which seems even more fishy and contacting us from multiple weird domains

Kadenwood was exceptional at helping me connect with the right investors, both in quality and quantity. Highly recommend them as a group

I had a great experience working with Kadenwood Group. Louis is exceptionally knowledgeable and genuinely helpful. He took the time to understand my situation, explained things clearly, and gave practical, well-informed advice. He's responsive, professional, and clearly cares about getting it right for his clients. I'd highly recommend Kadenwood Group, and Louis in particular, to anyone looking for a trusted partner.

It was a pleasure working with these guys

We worked with Louis and the Kadenwood team on financing our recent bolt-ons. The team was involved from the first seller conversations, so they understood each business before we ever got to structure.

They were candid on leverage: what each deal could carry, where lenders would realistically land, and when it made more sense to lean on seller paper or further equity.

Louis set the strategy and the team executed quickly, ran efficient lender conversations, and pressure-tested our assumptions at every step. By term sheet stage the financing was clean and the terms held up post-close.

Would gladly work with Louis and the Kadenwood team again.

We brought in Kadenwood Capital to prepare our company for a sale, and they made a real difference. They helped us clean up and restructure the business so it was ready for buyers, and they guided us through how to position it.

The sale is still in progress, but we already have a very solid offer on the table, and I don't think we'd be here without their help. They're straightforward, they know how buyers think, and they got our structure in order before anyone looked under the hood.

If you're a founder thinking about selling, talk to them early.

Through Louis Garoz, we were introduced to numerous opportunities, and within weeks we had booked over 20 qualified calls with interested parties and investors who shared the same appetite for our deal.

Working with Louis at Kadenwood on our capital raise was outstanding from start to finish. He brings true merchant banking judgment: he took the time to understand the business, sharpened how we positioned it to investors, and was direct about what the market would and wouldn't support.

Once the process was underway, he moved quickly, opened the right doors, and kept every conversation focused and well-prepared. He thinks like a principal, with real skin in the outcome, and it shows in the quality of his advice.

If you're a founder or sponsor raising capital and want an investment banker who is sharp, responsive, and genuinely invested in getting the deal done right, I'd recommend Louis and the Kadenwood team without hesitation.

In 2023, I decided to sell my shares in a company operating in the sustainable energy sector in the Netherlands, which I had co-founded with two other partners. I engaged Kadenwood to help facilitate the transaction.

Throughout the process, I worked with four or five members of their team. Although this was a relatively small transaction by their standards, they were just as committed and attentive as I would have expected them to be on a much larger deal.

Initially, I was a little hesitant about paying an upfront fee, as it's not something I'm generally a fan of nor do. However, looking back, I'm very glad I did. Within three ish months the transaction was completed, and the entire process was smooth and efficient.

The team was professional, diligent, responsive, and genuinely enjoyable to work with. They also took the time to explain the process and taught me a great deal about what goes into sometihng like this.

Overall, a very positive experience.

Kadenwood is spectacular.

Louis and team helped me navigate the sale of our first company for >8 figures.

Without exaggeration, working with him was one of the most important things I've ever done.

I strongly recommend Mr. Garoz and his firm, Kadenwood Group.

They performed for Theofilis Group on select engagements.

Great! They're focused on making things happen

Aligning with Kadenwood has provided speed, diligence, and accuracy when needed most. Louis is an experienced operator and professional. Kadenwood has delivered above and beyond for my firm.

I have worked with Kadenwood Group since February of 2024 on a variety of transactions. I've dealt directly with Louis and Ruben, and throughout each engagement, they have gone over and above, provided a variety of different options, and helped us get exceptional outcomes. We are currently working on a debt placement for one of my clients and Kadenwood has brought forward very competitive lines of credit that are beating the banks.

Amazing experience! The team brings a wealth of expertise, genuine care, and a great human touch. Loved the experience and highly recommend!

Kadenwood has a thorough understanding of capital markets, and brings a unique network to each one of their engagements.

Collaborating on deals with Kadenwood, has helped us improve not only our own capital markets processes but also our sales & marketing efforts.

They have a complete understanding of what it takes to own and operate a business.

In August 2025 I paid a total of $50,000 USD to a company called Kadenwood Group, also operating as Kadenwood Consulting, run by Louis Garoz, based in Vancouver, BC.

The pitch was a coaching program called "Dealmaker" to build a boutique M&A advisory business, capital raising, deal origination, the whole model.

I followed the process for close to a year.
Set up the outreach infrastructure myself, ran the campaigns, built out advisor relationships, did everything I was told to do (and spent over $20k of my own money to do so).

The support itself was a big part of the problem.
Group coaching calls that were part of the program largely didn't happen.

One on one calls were a different kind of frustrating, he'd show up 15 to 30 minutes late as a pattern, not an occasional slip, and there were times he didn't show up at all.

When the person running your coaching program can't reliably show up to the calls you're paying for, that tells you a lot about what the rest of the engagement is going to look like.

The reality is that I paid $50.000 US dollars for a few videos I could've found on YouTube for free.

After close to a year of efforts and spending a total of over $70.000 USD, I had no closed deals and no real business to show for it.

In July 2026 I reached out directly and asked for a refund.

We got on a call (to which he, ironically, showed up 30 minutes late) and he agreed to send the money back within a few weeks.

I followed up in writing right after that call summarizing what we'd agreed, and he didn't push back on any of it.

I feel like he didn't push back becasue deep inside he knows the level of service I received isn't even worth $500, let alone $50.000.

Two weeks went by, still nothing.

He wrote back and told me himself he needed more time.

That was over a month ago.

Since then it's been silence for days at a time, occasional one word replies, and no refund.

What this really comes down to is that he's not a man of his word.

He told me directly, both over the phone and in writing, that the refund was coming

Not once, twice.

A month has passed since the second promise and he still hasn't followed through, and now he's just ghosting me on it entirely.

I have the wire transfer records for the full $50,000, and I have his own messages agreeing a refund is owed and committing to sending it.

I've now retained legal counsel to pursue this formally.
Posting here in case anyone else has dealt with Kadenwood Group, or Louis Garoz directly, or is considering paying for any of his programs.

P.S. He's now changed the name of the coaching program so "Dealmaker" doesn't exist anymore.

Anyways he's still running his course business and posting a lot of content on his two IG profiles.
