When should business activities be separated into different companies?

Risk separation

If one activity carries substantially greater risk than another, separate companies may make contractual, financial and operational liabilities easier to manage.

Investor entry

If an investor is interested in only one business line, a separate company can make the investment object, valuation and governance rights clearer.

Future sale

If only part of the business may later be sold, separating the relevant assets, contracts, employees and operations in advance can simplify the transaction.

Partner separation

Different strategic directions between shareholders do not always have to end in litigation. A properly designed separation may allow the parties to continue independently while reducing conflict risk.
