Very few good things last forever. Sometimes, it’s best to get out while the going is good – or while you still can. Divestitures and company sales can exit the company from declining markets, capitalize on favorable equity market volatility, and save scarce corporate resources. At times, it is best to bring in an outside expert to get these deals done. These experts instill confidence in the process, act as vital intermediaries between sellers and buyers, and break through deal barriers (emotional and otherwise) that occasionally block progress.
