Spin-offs / Separations

Bain Spin-off Solution ensures that companies realize the highest-possible value from spin-offs by developing the spin-off thesis, ensuring robust spin-off and transaction plans, and setting up both companies for success.

Spin-offs / Separations

Why Bain

  • We've supported more than 450 divestitures and spin-off projects.
  • Our experience includes some of the largest and most complex spin-offs in recent years.
  • Bain-supported spin-offs have outperformed non-Bain-supported spin-offs by an average of 20%.
  • We customize our approach based on an understanding of your business and situation.

Note: A spin-off is a public listing of a part of the business, with shares of the newly created company distributed to shareholders. A divestiture is a sale of a part of the business to a third party. Please learn about Bain Divestiture Mobilization here.

The spin-off increased the parent company's market capitalization by $500 million.
