Sale Side/Divestitures
Carve-outs and divestitures are critical for advancing corporate strategy. These processes are complex, especially as sellers adopt a global perspective to attract more bidders and generate higher value.
Divesting or selling a business requires careful planning and attentive execution. It’s an opportunity for value creation but involves high risks and financial uncertainty. Armslength helps clients evaluate the implications of their divestiture across their business, from day-one readiness planning to post-separation transition.
We assist clients with:
- Sale readiness
- Execution of the deal
- Post-deal support
Due Diligence Reviews
Any organization considering a potential deal must evaluate all pertinent parameters of the investment.

Through our due diligence expertise, we help clients minimize risks and understand the possible future state of the target company before committing to any transaction. Our experts thoroughly examine and corroborate strategic, financial, and operational assumptions to reveal opportunities and highlight potential risks.
