Divestitures and Carve-Out

Overview

Carve-outs are very common in the current deal environment. They are by nature, more complex than the sale of a fully standalone business. The complexities involved in a carve-out depend on the degree of integration of the business to be divested. Divestitures can improve the overall value of a business portfolio — as well as the ability to slow it down considerably if not well planned and executed.

We work with companies to ensure the carve-out is as smooth and value-enhancing after considering the costs, practicalities and potential risks of operational separation. Our team provides end-to-end support from conceptual planning through the project management office to the successful operational implementation of carve-outs – regardless of whether you are on the buy or sell side. We enable companies to understand operational separation challenges early in order to control the separation process and accomplish the deal objectives.
