We focus on structuring acquisitions that meet the unique requirements of each strategic seller, navigating all degrees of deal complexities. From public-to-private transactions to corporate divestitures of non-core assets, we're skilled at mitigating all degrees of risk when extracting a non-core division from its parent, maintaining business momentum, and ensuring business continuity.
STRATEGIC SELLERS
A divestiture can be driven by many factors. We typically work with strategic sellers that, when considering a divestiture, weigh the value of benefits such as:- a swift transaction
- increased shareholder value
- preserved brand equity
- business continuity
- an improved balance sheet
Strategic sellers may also seek to realize long-term agreements that continue distribution or service partnerships with the divested unit. Regardless of the situation, we have created successful divestiture solutions for many global Fortune 500 companies.
SEAMLESS TRANSITIONS
We focus on business continuity as one of the most critical measures of a successful transition. We consider all of the stakeholders involved and take measures to ensure uninterrupted customer service, minimal employee uncertainty, and preservation of the seller's brand reputation. Our ability to maintain business continuity through transition is what allows us to pursue deals that pure financial buyers might forego.
Before a transaction closes, we have already built a transition plan, identified operational issues, and developed a long-term business strategy. From HR and legal to IT and finance, we have the practical knowledge and experience necessary to help build out a company's infrastructure. Working with existing management, we quickly:- transition the business
- stabilize its operations
- identify new strategies for growth
- disengage
We then empower company management to run the standalone company.
OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE
Our philosophy of managed entrepreneurship empowers company management to deliver great performance through decisive day-to-day leadership. Each portfolio company management team operates independently, making decisions based on their knowledge of the market, customers, and competitors. We provide strategic oversight, which gives managers a valuable resource to draw upon in:- improving efficiencies
- evolving strategies
- identifying and resolving operational issues
