Divesting a portion of the Company

As large firms evolve some operating units no longer fit into the company’s core business. As a result excellent divisions or geographically defined operations are available for divestiture by a company.

Professionals at SUMMA Financial Group, LLC have extensive inside experience in large corporations seeking to divest and acquire operations.

The professional services provided for divestitures are similar to the process of representing a seller of a business. However these transactions reflect a sale of a portion of the company rather than the sale of the entire company the following special steps are applied:

Operational Analysis

• Develop a detailed plan for operation as an independent entity.

Management Assessment

• Determine the ability of the current management to operate independent of the current ownership

Competitive Analysis

• Special emphasis is made on the ability of the divested operation to remain competitive when it loses its identity with the current ownership

Development of a Transition Plan

• A transition plan is developed to identify the steps required to move to independence or to become an operation of a larger company that can provide some overhead functions to the acquired entity.
