Mergers and Acquisition Advisory
Corporate Divestitures
Corporate divestitures share many characteristics with the sale of private companies but also have unique factors that must be considered. For example, in one corporate divestiture we completed a strategic buyer was preferred because the business being sold would not have its own accounting system after the transaction since those capabilities resided at the parent company. In another example, a financial acquirer was preferred because the parent company wanted to ensure that management had an opportunity to invest in the business with the new owner. More frequently, the selling company is primarily concerned with achieving a smooth transaction at the best price possible while limiting any future obligations.
Our bankers work with selling companies to understand their unique needs and implement a process designed to meet each specific requirement and then execute a customized sale process to achieve the clients’ objectives.
