Exit Services

Address on-going underperformance


Successfully stemming the flow of cash bolstering up an ailing or non-core division will free up capital and resources which can be redeployed to more productive units or projects. But is liquidation or winding down a business really the only option or could the business be restructured and/or sold? It is important to consider different options in order to identify the true value or cost of a reorganisation, sale, liquidation, bankruptcy or the closing down of a business.

The challenges you face

  • You need to evaluate your options for an exit plan.
  • You want to maximise the return and minimise exit costs in case of a liquidation or a wind-down.
  • You need to analyse the risks and costs of individual business units.
  • You have units or subsidiaries operating inconsistently with group strategy or are looking to divest some non-core operations.
  • You need to optimise the allocation of management and capital resources across the whole group.
