What EY can do for you in divestitures and carve-outs

Our diverse divestiture teams can help you capture full value from a divestiture, whether you are a corporate or a private equity fund. We can help you limit disruption, manage remaining tax cost structures and allow you to focus on creating long-term value for stakeholders.

We help enable strategic portfolio management through divestitures, including development of the value story and deal model, marketing the business to buyers, optimizing tax attributes to buyer and seller, preparing carve-out financials and developing operational separation plans.

We offer deep insight into portfolio management to help you get answers to key questions:

  • What should I sell to reposition my business in the market? 
  • How can I sell assets at optimal prices?
  • How can I reshape my portfolio to help meet sustainability/ESG targets?
  • How can I optimize my portfolio to raise capital for future investments?
  • How can I sell non-core assets to preserve capital and help digitally transform my business? 
  • How can I reframe my geographic footprint through divestments?
