Sell and Separate-Divestment
Divest with Precision. Reinvest with Vision
Divestment is the strategic process of selling or spinning off non-core assets, subsidiaries, or business units to refocus on core objectives, optimize capital allocation, or meet regulatory requirements.
At IFAS, we reimagine divestments as proactive, value-driven initiatives rather than reactive exits. Leveraging our holistic expertise, we guide organizations in transforming divestments into opportunities to strengthen competitive positioning, unlock hidden value, and align with long-term strategic priorities. Our approach ensures each transaction is executed with precision, transparency, and a focus on maximizing returns while maintaining stakeholder confidence.
- Value Maximization: Identify “crown jewel” assets vs. underperformers using proprietary analytics.
- Buyer Targeting: Profile strategic buyers, PE firms, or competitors likely to pay premiums.
- Standalone Valuation: Model the asset’s intrinsic value using DCF, comparables, or precedent transactions.
- Tax Efficiency: Structure sales as asset vs. share deals under Income Tax Act rules to minimize liabilities.
- Earnouts: Tie payments to post-sale performance (e.g., revenue milestones).
- TSA Negotiation: Draft transition service agreements (TSAs) for shared IT, HR, or supply chain support.
- Legal Separation: Reassign contracts, licenses, and IP ownership.
- Employee Transition: Address pension liabilities, benefits, and retention incentives.
- Debt Repayment: Reduce leverage ratios to improve credit ratings.
- M&A Reinvestment: Fund acquisitions in priority sectors.
- Share Buybacks: Enhance shareholder returns.
