A carve-out is a different problem from a company sale, and it is mostly an accounting one. We do the perimeter work first, so the buyer never has to.
Divesting a division is a harder exercise than selling a whole company, and the difficulty is rarely the buyer. It is the perimeter: deciding exactly what is being sold, building standalone financials for a unit that has never had them, and identifying the costs that will strand in the parent after separation.
We do that work up front, because a buyer who cannot see the unit clearly discounts for what they cannot see. That means carve-out financials, a defensible transition services arrangement, and a process run so the parent business is not destabilised while it happens. The aim is a clean separation, reached efficiently.
