Complex questions regarding market practices and regulations when selling a company

Selling a business successfully requires good preparation and experience. Informative financial and tax information about the business unit to be sold also has an essential part to play. However, many sellers are unclear about what information they need to provide to prospective buyers. Many questions emerge: What are the relevant success factors of spin-offs and company sales? How can business units that are to be sold be portrayed as if they have been independent for quite some time? What accepted market practices and regulatory approaches do you need to consider when preparing carve-out financial statements? And how can relevant data for a company or individual components be presented in the best possible way for a planned carve-out? Is there perhaps even value creation potential that could have a positive impact on the company valuation? What are the operational implications of the carve-out? And what can the separation look like in detail? These questions are also relevant for the potential buyerand must be answered as part of a careful due diligence.
