Our leading separation services span the full range of services from defining the separation perimeter from a financial, tax, cost and operational perspective through to support separation Day 1 planning.
We help clients design and establish a separation programme and governance structure including an operational handbook to identify current arrangements, a proposed Day 1 solution, and a fully standalone model and related separation cost impact.
We can develop transitional service schedules, manage the resolution of key separation issues and draft communication materials for the client. These documents are then shared with bidders to help them understand the perimeter of the business they are looking to acquire.
We provide financial and operational support to management, enabling them to present the business in a coherent and structured way. Our detailed separation planning support ensures an issue-free Day 1 and establishes a robust set of Transitional Service Agreements (TSAs) to ensure business continuity post completion.
