Why Hire Carve-Out Consultants?
A common misconception is that divestitures result from failure. While in most cases it may be true, in other cases, carve-outs may result from management decisions to divest a business segment to allow for concentration on a higher-priority business plan. Owing to this uncertainty, a buyer wants to know the underlying factors behind a carve-out, and effectively determine the worthiness of venturing into buying the divested assets. It is advisable that the buyer hires an independent consultant to give him an independent comprehensive report indicating value maximization. A Carve-out consultant will help in the following ways:
