Divestment

Divestment is the sale of a business, division, or significant asset — to exit a non-core activity, raise cash, or realise value. A well-run divestment prepares the asset, establishes a credible valuation, finds the right buyer, and manages the sale to a clean close.

The firm runs the sell-side process and structures the disposal for a tax-efficient outcome.

Divestment advisory covers, including:

• Preparing the business or asset for sale (sell-side readiness)
• Valuation and the price expectation
• Vendor due diligence to pre-empt buyer issues
• Identifying and approaching buyers
• Structuring and executing the sale, tax-efficiently

PBT runs your divestment to realise value and close cleanly.

• Sell-side preparation that maximises value
• A credible valuation
• Vendor diligence that pre-empts buyer issues
• Tax-efficient structuring of the sale
• Scope, deliverables, and fees agreed in writing up front

• How do I get the best value from a sale?

  By preparing the business well, presenting credible information, running a proper process, and structuring the deal tax-efficiently. That's what sell-side advisory does.

• What is vendor due diligence?

  Diligence the seller commissions on its own business to surface and address issues before buyers find them — it builds confidence and protects value.

• How long does it take?

  A divestment typically runs over several months, depending on preparation, the buyer search, and negotiation.
