Sell-Side Preparation of Portfolio Companies
Reduce value leakage in PE exits by preparing the company for sale years before the process begins: disclosure strategy, vendor DD, carve-outs and contract readiness.
Many exit issues are not created during the sale process. They originate years earlier during ownership.
Areas of Support
- IPO and dual-track support
- Disclosure strategy and preparation of the legal “equity story”
- Readiness checks before the process begins: contracts, IP, governance, compliance, change-of-control reviews, necessary carve-outs. Quick scans or in-depth review
- Vendor DD and (embedded) support ahead of exit
- Clear risk issue framing and remediation: structuring legal disclosure, avoiding “data dump” and defensive positioning
- Workshops for GCs and legal teams
Focus
Reducing value leakage through:
- price chips
- indemnities
- delayed timelines
- avoidable diligence friction
