ALTAIR CAPITAL professionals have collectively advised to over 50 divestiture transactions providing comprehensive experience to the multiple segments of the business divestment process.
For owner/shareholders and the leadership management of a business or company, the inevitable sale or succession of the enterprise ranks as the preeminent event culminating decades of work and entrepreneurial risk. The divestment of the business can be both exhilarating toward new life interests and perhaps anxiety-driven in view of future uncertainties. Sale transactions not managed and executed well quickly become a bitter experience for stakeholders that may last for many years after. As your advocates managing all aspects of the Client Divestment Program of your Company, ALTAIR CAPITAL provides the professional technical qualifications and wide transaction experience to enable maximum price and the best possible outcome for our Clients.
“Ultimately, the Business Owner and the Management Leadership must understand that their responsibility to Shareholders is to build value and the exit price they will receive when the Company is sold or merged. That presumes an understanding of the value today, how capital valuations are increased, and how to control business factors proactively long before the Divestment Program into the open market formally begins.”
Anticipation and risk management is central to our work processes in the transaction advisory environment. The one component upon which negotiations, transactions structures, income tax implications, post-divestment management continuity arrangements, legal agreements and several other variables move is value. While price is what you pay or receive, the value of a transaction to a vendor is the sum of the cash, rights and risks you assume when it's all done.
How will my confidential business information be protected? Does the buyer have the financial capability to acquire? Where are the markets for my business? Who will pay the highest price? What factors will cause an informed purchaser of my business to identify a discount on the sale price at exit? These and many other questions will eventually require detailed understanding if a client’s objectives are to be achieved. Adaptability, strategic leadership and systematic processes become essential.
Our "starting point" is a thorough understanding of the business parameters of the Company, the industry it participates in, and the value it carries. Having firmly established the sale dynamic and context, our team will identify a relevant divestiture program to the closing sale of your Company. We understand your vision for the future. The ALTAIR CAPITAL team brings a wealth of know-how and professional experience to the client seller of companies ensuring confident maximum results.
