Divestments
"A successful exit is built on preparation, positioning, and telling the right story to the right buyers"
CCD advises shareholders and management teams through the full divestment process, from preparing the business for sale and crafting a compelling equity story to managing buyer engagement, diligence, and execution in a controlled, value-focused process.
For clients requiring targeted support, we offer modular services such as vendor due diligence, separation planning, business health checks, and strategic assessments to strengthen positioning ahead of a sale.
