CARVE-OUT & DIVESTITURE
Plan and Execute a Successful Divestiture
Spinning off or selling a business unit, product, or service line can provide cash, improve earnings stability, and increase your focus on key assets. Short- and long-term success hinge on understanding the desired future-state relationship between the separate entities and any ongoing involvement in the carved-out subsidiary’s future operations. Developing clear transition service agreements over shared resources helps decrease complexity.
Understanding Key Drivers of Investor Value
Carving out and selling a business can be complex; however, given proper planning, cross-functional collaboration, and a well-thought-out approach, it can unlock the ability to negotiate higher price points and achieve a stronger degree of buyer confidence.
