The sale or divestment of a company, division or business is usually an emotive and strategically significant event. The motivation for such a strategy is usually driven by operational underperformance or lack of fit with the current corporate strategy.

Any divestment process should begin with a strategic review to validate whether a disposal is the best option. The guiding principle should be enterprise value maximization.

The objective of any sale transaction is to maximize the sale price by identifying and working with buyers who are most likely to pay a premium price.

  and the strategic rationale for the acquisition.
