Groupe Buko, a group of Quebec dental clinics operating as Groupe Buko Réso, obtained CCAA protection on April 29, 2026, with the stay running to May 11, 2026. Unaudited combined internal management figures as at February 28, 2026 show total assets of $12,061K against total liabilities of $8,944K and shareholders' equity of $3,117K; stripping out intangible assets — goodwill arising from the Longueuil 2 acquisition — net equity would be negative in every fiscal year presented. Those figures precede the March 24, 2026 bankruptcies of the Longueuil 1 and Longueuil 2 entities. Secured debt is led by Desjardins at $4,229K across five clinics, followed by Banque Nationale du Canada at $1,110K, BMO at $557K, RBC at $267K, and $449K owed to equipment lease financiers. Secured creditors were advised in October 2025 that sale proceeds would not repay them in full.

Outcome brief
Groupe Buko: two clinics with no buyer at filing, six offers in May
A Québec dental group built by two dentists filed under the CCAA on April 29, 2026 with sales of five clinics already agreed and no buyer for two others. A 16-day process in May drew six offers for those two; on August 13 the court signed the order that will end the case.
