There are also circumstances where an underperforming business should be sold, releasing the capital to be reinvested into another business where there are higher returns. This is where it is even more important to position the business in the best possible way to maximise the outcome for the owners.

Process

Unlike generalist consulting reviews, the nem Divestment Readiness Assessment (DRA) is a specialised activity focused on optimising the potential sale value. The DIA includes an onsite review, analysis of how ready the business is for sale, recommendations of any high priority initiatives that could substantially improve the sale outcome and presentation of the Divestment Readiness Report with a follow-up meeting to answer any specific questions and to discuss next steps.

Deliverables

The nem Divestment Readiness Assessment (DRA) provides an independent assessment of the readiness of a business for sale and where appropriate, identifies the specific initiatives that would optimise the sale outcome for the business owner. The DRA also helps the owners understanding of the sale process and potential value and is an ideal stepping-stone to an optimised business sale, whether or not the owner intends to sell in the short term.

Specifically, the nem DRA will give the owner a price guide, a sellabilty assessment, sale optimisation initiatives, an awareness of the business sale process and clarity on what the owner should do next.
