Overcoming resistance to the deal

Article Abstract:

UK-based refractory firms Flogates and KSR International (KSR) were sold for a combined 50 million pounds sterling in February 1998, after a year long process which tested the skills of those involved. The sale proved to have many interesting features which could be applied to other corporate disposals. A strong tie with family ownership meant the sale had to incorporate legal moves to avoid the sale of a privately-owned part of the firm. The industrial aspects of the land sale had to be environmentally sound.

Be aware of the environmental risks

Article Abstract:

The environment has become a major issue with most leading multinationals, such as car manufacturers building environment friendly vehicles. The international environmental management systems standard, IOS 14001 is becoming an important certification for companies to prove they have met the necessary targets set for management of environmental concerns. IOS 14001 can help sellers to improve the asking price of the business, while buyers consider a credited firm to be less of a financial risk.

Dealing with taxing issues

Article Abstract:

The taxation side of corporate disposal is often left until almost the end of the divestment process, leaving little time to sort out any major taxation problems. Assessing alternative taxation strategies may increase eventual rate of return on disposal, although a tax specialist must be involved in the sale process as soon as possible. Operating an open market valuation is a complicated procedure which should be handled by specialists.
