Acquisitions – How can Acquisitions add to growth and shareholder value?

Divestitures -- Should an underperforming business be divested or turned around?

When a company decides to divest or sell a business, MeritBSC assists in preparing the memorandum, identifying prospective buyers, contacting buyers and in managing the divestiture process.  Inquire about getting it accomplished.   

Marketing & Distribution – Can Marketing Strategy changes lead to higher growth? How can you Expand Distribution to capture new growth opportunities?  What are the business economics of your Distribution Channels?

Marketing Strategy, Expanding Distribution and Distribution Channel Realignment projects are 3 project areas where results for clients have been particularly beneficial. See Marketing Strategy and Profit/Growth/ROE Metrics.

See Strategic Planning for choices and answers.

Turnaround Plans – Should you Turnaround or Divest an underperforming business?

It's a tough decision. Peter Drucker tended to favor divestiture, though his core point was to get it done quickly -- in a year to 18 months at most. MeritBSC's Turnaround Plan work concentrates on making decisions and implementing actions within 6 months. In some cases, the goal is to stop losses while preparing to divest. In others, the viability of a Turnaround is genuine. Inquire for more information, to get answers to your questions, or to receive a project proposal.
