Better divestments – from design to delivery

Navigating risk and operating at speed, EY teams help you create long-term value through better divestments – from design to delivery.

What EY can do for you

We offer deep insight to help you get answers:

  • What path will you navigate to carve out sale success?
  • How can divesting fuel your future growth?
  • What is driving the appetite for divestments?
  • How do you make the decision to divest?
  • Do you have the right tools and talent to maximize your divestment outcome?

Leading companies consider divestments as fundamental to their business strategy – they focus on selling assets in the same rigorous way they focus on acquisitions. These companies often carve out or spin off a business unit and redeploy capital raised to strengthen their core business and reinvest in high-growth areas.

Family-owned companies may sell their businesses for comfortable fund retirement, to support future generations or to find a partner who will protect the legacy of the business. And, middle-market businesses and private equity firms also sell entire companies to monetize their investment. Our dedicated, multifunctional, diverse divestiture consulting professionals can help you optimize your portfolio, and improve divestment strategy and execution.

Our Divestiture consulting services that span the transactions life cycle are:

  • Strategy and portfolio management
  • Equity story development and delivery
  • Separation planning
  • Negotiation and execution
  • Optimization of the remaining business
