COMMON SITUATIONS WHERE MERCANA GETS INVOLVED

COMPANY RESTRUCTURINGS

This usually involves financial distress, and the need for bold action to redirect the business towards a healthier trajectory. We help define the plan, who should lead the execution, and secure the resources needed to make it work.

BIG OPPORTUNITIES

When the size of the opportunity exceeds the capacity and/or capability of the business, we can support with experienced professionals who get the job done.

MERGERS & ACQUISTIONS

Whether on the buying or selling side, we help assess the various options, develop decision criteria, pursue suitable deal structures, support due diligence activities, and ultimately help to consummate the deal that works for both side

SUCCESSION PLANNING

For many entrepreneurs and their families, the decision as to whether, when, and how to sell their business is often filled with a variety of emotions that naturally lead to hesitancy, indecision, and missed opportunity. We’ve worked with dozens of entrepreneurs to help them develop a plan that works for them, and then we work together on each of the steps required for an orderly transition.

DIFFICULT DECISIONS

We understand that it can be lonely at the top, particularly when difficult decisions need to be made. Whether it’s a messy shareholder dispute, delicate people issues, a tough customer situation, or deciding on how to get the business to the next level, we can help put things into perspective. We can bring in objective experienced outsiders to provide the coaching and guidance needed to help bring clarity on the best way forward.

NEW BUSINESS FORMATION

Ramping up a new business requires a series of important decisions, access to a range of different professional advisors, and building the foundation for future growth, all with limited staff and financial resources. We have experience guiding founders through this critical phase, often pulling together many of the key enablers to reduce the time in “start-up” mode.
