Senior Consultant, GFC Inc.
Jean-Francois Gervais (BAA)
Having begun my career in corporate financing at NBC, I subsequently worked in the same field for Rona, IGA and various colleges, medical clinics, pharmaceutical companies and manufacturers. Drawing on this experience and extended network, I now work in business sales, acquisitions and valuations and have successfully completed sales transactions in several industries.
With a bachelor’s in business administration and having completed the CPA Canada course in business valuation and acquired M&A experience on the ground, I am perfectly able to sell your company and determine its fair market value.
I got to know Jean-François Gervais when I sold my company. I hired him as a consultant to assist me with the sales process. Beyond all expectations, he was sensitive to my concerns and requirements and always looked after my best interests while guiding me through the various steps with integrity, skill and professionalism. I remain in touch with him to this day for his valuable advice. I sincerely recommend Jean-François Gervais for the quality of the service he provides.
Martin Hébert
Former owner, Simplinet inc.
Jean-François was an exceptional advisor who, despite the many pitfalls, was very persevering and patient when we were selling my company. He remained calm and diplomatic throughout the process. He negotiated tactfully, dealing with both me and the acquirer with transparency and honesty. His experience in business sales and acquisitions certainly made a difference in how the transaction turned out.
Raymond Morneault
Ex-Président Groupe RPM
Selling my company was emotionally trying at times and Mr. Gervais listened to me with patience and understanding. I appreciated his resilience and skill in taking on the challenges inherent in such a transaction, where the expectations and feelings of both the seller and the buyer have to be managed every step of the way. His input was definitely a determining factor for the successful sale of my business.
