Value Created Pre-Transaction​

A £200 million revenue manufacturing subsidiary carve-out from a global conglomerate was hampered by the poorly understood scope, dependencies and complexity of the incumbent landscape. This severely impeded providing clarity to buyers of operational costs, establish carve-out actions, and define effective TSA.

BML was engaged to provide effective pre-transaction readiness to ensure a successful carve-out and sales to private equity. We firstly conducted comprehensive introspective due diligence on operations, data, systems, IP, and cyber security. This provided clarity on scope, complexity, impact and costs, and shape TSA for transition, and identified new opportunities and savings. Leveraging that information, BML defined a clear carve-out action plan, and transition programme and costs. We delivered a proactive carve-out of data and systems, and business operations change pre-transaction. A permanent services agreement was introduced to ensure value preservation and business continuity. ​
