Divestitures

Call it a carve-out, a spin off, or simply the sale of part of the business, but successfully planning and executing a business divestiture is much more challenging than most executives anticipate. Divestitures can represent tremendous opportunities as well as significant risks for your company.

At Convoko, we can help position your divestiture, facilitate the deal, maximize the value of your sale, and quickly re-focus back on the other business units that are aligned with the new and resulting corporate strategy. Our services include:
