Chemicals & Ingredients · VALUE CAPTURE
Carve-Out Separation and Standalone Performance.
Exit transition services on schedule, stand up the functions a standalone business needs, and remove the stranded and duplicated cost a separation leaves behind.
The problem this solves
- Transition services extended because standalone finance, IT, customer service or supply functions are not ready
- Commercial continuity at risk as customers, contracts, pricing and registrations move to a new entity
- Cost structures inherited from the parent that were never designed for a standalone company
What we measure
- Transition services exit dates met
- Separation cost versus plan
- Standalone SG&A as a share of revenue
Every program starts by baselining these numbers in your systems. Results are reported against your baseline, not against industry averages.
The playbook
01
Transition services exit and standalone readiness
A function-by-function exit plan for finance, procurement, IT, customer service and supply, with readiness tracked weekly against the transition services calendar.
02
Commercial continuity
Customer contracts, pricing, documentation and regulatory registrations transferred without service interruption, with key accounts managed directly through the change.
03
Standalone operating model and cost
Processes and automation designed for the standalone scale, and stranded or duplicated cost removed against a baseline the sponsor can audit. The same method applies when integrating add-on acquisitions into a platform.
