Separation
Unlocking value through strategic divestments.
:quality(80))
Divesting non-core or underperforming assets can help you realise value in your business but this can be difficult to execute effectively. McGrathNicol helps vendors and buyers better understand separation risks, standalone costs and valuations, and the potential for stranded costs. We can help guide you through the divestment process.
We help you separate corporate services from a business unit, aid with staff challenges and work with you on transitional services agreements, maximising a transaction’s value.
Our experts help you:
determine the standalone cost base of an asset
implement a structured approach to understand separation risks and potential areas of value leakage
identify potential dis-synergies and requirements for transitional services post-separation
assess the impact of separation factors on valuation.
Buyers also benefit from a better understanding of businesses’ potential, integration costs, and the most effective integration strategies.
Our experience
UBS
We were engaged to run the Project Management Office for UBS to assist with the strategic planning for its exit from its wealth management business in Australia. We were involved in managing the wind down and closure of this business and the off-boarding and transition of its clients and assets to Crestone.
