Divestment

In more recent years, there have been a number of high profile sales of in house shared service operations to third party, outsourcing providers. 

Whether or not to sell a SSC captive is a question that every organisation will ask itself every now and then.  Be it for sound strategic decisions, or simply to improve liquidity of the business, how do clients really know when they are ready to sell?  Negotiating a divestiture is tricky at best, but there are some outstanding success stories, BA/WNS, GE/Genpact and Citigroup/TCS Philips/Infosys to name a few.
 
For organisations considering selling their shared service centre to an outsourcing provider, we offer full guidance on how to find the right buyer and reach a fair market price.  This represents a real opportunity for organisations to capitalise on the investment they have made in their captives over many years. 
 
Alsbridge has a database of captive sales metrics enabling our clients to understand the range of potential sale prices available in the market. We also have an inside track on the main third party providers that are actively looking to acquire a captive operation and can actively broker your deal.
