Divestitures

Selling a business is often the culmination of a life's work. At CCC, we understand what this means to the individuals involved, and we understand the many stresses associated with the process. Our job is to get your transaction completed for the best value and at the best terms, but our job doesn't end there. We support you at every step of the process and help to keep you focused on what's important. We manage the process so that you can continue to manage your business. Think of us as both your strategic advisors and project managers.

Experience teaches us that all successful divestitures begin with a clear understanding of the objectives of the seller. What do you want to do? Why do you want to do it? Knowing the answers to these questions allows us to ensure that the process meets your objectives.

To help assure you of a successful transaction, we do the following:

• Conduct a full review of your objectives
• Provide a market valuation of your business
• Segment and assess your options to determine what is best for you. For example, would you be better served by strategic buyers or private equity?
• Complete a full financial analysis and due diligence to uncover all issues and opportunities that may impact negotiations
• Prepare effective and accurate marketing materials
• Set up and manage the data room
• Conduct bid comparisons
• Negotiate and structure the final transaction
• Assist with development of the communication strategy for employees, customers, suppliers and other stakeholders
• Manage the closing process, including coordinating efforts with the lawyers, accountants and bankers
