SERVICES: Divestitures

Every successful divestiture, whether the sale of a closely held private company or the divestiture of a division of a large public corporation, is the result of blending two stories: the seller’s story for the market and the buyer’s own internal strategic story. Tucker Capital Corporation, and its Tucker Alexander affiliate (“Tucker”), are highly skilled at developing and selling the essential rationale for that blended story. Whether managing divestitures for Williams-Sonoma (Gardeners Eden), Coldwater Creek (Milepost Four), Disney (Childcraft, Just For Kids, Playclothes, Childcraft Education) or Torstar (Miles-Kimball Company), we customized the acquisition rationale for each potential bidder into a narrative that is authoritative, compelling and authentic.

Our process is simple but rigorous: we become part of the management team and, working closely with key employees, educate ourselves as to the company’s goals, skill sets, resources, historical financial performance, competitive environment and prospects for the future. We highlight the company’s future potential, reinforce its historical strengths and identify weaknesses as potential opportunities for prospective buyers. Our depth of experience with catalog and publishing companies makes our approach particularly compelling as we bring the varied experience of many previous industry transactions. The end result is that Tucker is known for being skillful at deal structuring and tough but fair at the negotiating table, all of which enables us to achieve the best deal for our clients.
