Exit Support
Plan for a fast, clean and worthwhile break.
Divestiture, separation, carve-out, spinoff, liquidation. Whatever form it takes, selling a business asset has its pros and cons. On the one hand, it can help your business refocus on what it does best. It can also be a source of much-needed cash. And it might simply be time: Plenty of firms make acquisitions with an eye toward an exit when profitable.
On the other hand, selling can remove the chance to participate in future gains. (Even a faltering business might have some ways to turn around.) It can also disrupt overall cash flow. What’s more, the transactions themselves tend to be complicated — involving decisions about deal structure, costs, ongoing operations and more.
