Evahan's Five Core Pillars for Successful M&A, Succession, and Restructuring

At Evahan, our approach to Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A), Succession, and Business Reconstruction is grounded in five fundamental principles:

  1. Comprehensive Analysis of Core Business:
    • We meticulously identify and articulate your current core business, core product/service mix, and competitive advantages that must be preserved and enhanced. This foundation is crucial for any successful transition.
       
  2. Functional Areas of Business (FAB) Assessment:
    • We thoroughly examine and define the key elements of your business’s functional areas (FAB), encompassing systems, processes, and resources. This analysis helps determine what makes your business an attractive or unattractive M&A target and influences the ease of seamless succession.
       
  3. Evaluation of Key Assets and Liabilities:
    • We carefully identify, define, and articulate the critical assets and liabilities of your business. Understanding these components is vital for assessing your business’s attractiveness for M&A and ensuring a smooth succession.
       
  4. Corporate Structure and Regulatory Compliance:
    • We navigate the complexities of corporate structure, legal, and taxation challenges associated with M&A, Succession, and Restructuring. This understanding helps to overcome hurdles and facilitates a smooth transition.
       
  5. Quantitative Success Metrics:
    • We rigorously analyze and articulate the success factors of your business "by the numbers." This involves comprehensive financial analysis of historical performance, asset and liability positions, projected cash flows, profit & loss statements, revenue, margins, growth rates, market penetration, variable and fixed costs, and potential cost savings from integration or resource sharing. Expressing your business’s key success factors numerically provides a powerful and persuasive narrative.

35 Years Experience

Jason has guided numerous company owners through both positive M&A transactions and challenging Wind-Downs.

Representing clients when they are an M&A target is arduous work. Potential buyers often drain the energy from the room during extensive due diligence. It requires a highly commercial consultant with abundant energy and a thick skin to manage the due diligence response. The questions and analysis can be repetitive and sometimes seem pointless as due diligence teams "tick boxes," focus on minutiae, and angle for price reductions.

Similarly, when a business reaches the end of the road, it takes a commercial consultant who can "call a spade a spade." They help stakeholders "take their medicine," reduce their stress, and complete the process with dignity. Jason has been there many times when emotions run high and tears flow. He has always helped clients work through it.
