First, we’ll develop a focused due diligence exercise in order to provide comfort and confidence to all stakeholders over stand-alone operations. Then, we’ll work with finance teams and stakeholders to ensure financial information is prepared in compliance with the applicable accounting standards and provides a sound basis for the company’s future reporting as a listed entity.

Companies sometimes sell a business to refocus on their core operations or as part of active portfolio management. The separation of a division or business unit from a larger group can be a complex task. Deloitte provides end-to-end support for this process, covering operational, financial, tax, and legal aspects. 

We help by designing and establishing the separation programme and governance structure and work with management teams to prepare an operational handbook to identify the arrangements, the proposed Day 1 solutions (including transitional services) and the fully stand-alone model and related separation cost impact.

Investors increasingly demand a high level of information before committing resources and capital to a sale. When selling your business or division, it is essential to showcase your company’s full financial strength. Our services ensure you present an accurate and compelling financial profile.

Whether you are selling a business and aiming for a clean exit at a favorable price, or acquiring a business and seeking appropriate remedies when the financial position of the target company is not as expected, solid financial terms in the Sale and Purchase Agreement (SPA) are crucial.

Purchasers and sellers are becoming increasingly sophisticated in leveraging the potential value through negotiation and execution of the SPA. Significant deal value can be impacted by the cash, debt, and working capital price adjustment aspects of the agreement.

To provide prospective buyers with reliable figures and analyses for their valuation and due diligence, a seller may prepare a lighter, more cost-effective vendor assist report or factbook. These alternatives are primarily used for smaller transactions with fewer potential buyers.

Interested in applying a private equity approach to deliver value from acquisitions? We can help by executing a Pilot Value Creation Plan (VCP) to demonstrate the concept for key stakeholders. Working closely with management teams we’ll identify value creation opportunities across commercial, operations, working capital and tax streams. Key aspects of the process include quantifying value creation opportunities and developing implementation plans, governance structures and dashboards to monitor results.
