What is Divestiture Readiness SelfAssess?

Valuable insights

Divestiture Readiness SelfAssess is a free and easy-to-use tool, which provides valuable insights into the readiness of your organization as it enters the sales process. Sufficient foresight and preparation can favorably influence the divestiture process for the seller, which is why many companies typically opt to start preparing for a transaction 6 to 12 months before the anticipated sale process begins. When it comes to your company’s divestiture, timing and planning are critical.

The tool can help your company identify and focus on five critical areas of divestiture readiness:

  • Accounting and finance
  • Tax
  • Carve-out transaction considerations
  • Working capital optimization
