Business Unit Divestment

Successful companies do not only invest, but also know when to divest assets that are no longer strategic. When evaluating the best way to manage their operations, they simultaneously consider the areas where they want to grow and those that are no longer part of their business.

 

Letting go of non-strategic assets can allow the management to concentrate on their central business. That way they can transfer operations that are not their main focus to new owners where these can be developed more productively.

The experience of SFA in divestments has shown us that in order to maximize the exit value of a business, the divestment program has to work on two fronts simultaneously:

• the relation of the divested company to the seller’s remaining properties
• the targeted promotion of the asset with the buyers.
