Complex "Carve Out Acquisitions"
Some businesses are hard to sell, we buy those businesses.
Wynnchurch Capital specializes in acquiring complex corporate spin-offs and carve-outs that are challenging because of:
- Poor operating or financial performance
- Incomplete management systems or management teams
- Complicated operating structures that are difficult to extract from the parent company
- The need to protect confidentiality and to prevent business disruption
- Current market conditions in the industry
- The need to complete a sale quickly and with certainty
These "complex" divestitures consume excessive time, cost and resources relative to the value they generate, and they often present a high risk of failure and frustration.
Wynnchurch Capital excels at closing complex divestitures quickly and with certainty. We have extensive experience acquiring businesses that require significant planning and resources to be separated from their parent company.
