The Bolt-On transaction. When it comes to making significant decisions in the business world. Few can be as impactful as selling off an entire division.

It’s not uncommon for businesses to receive inquiries from advisors and companies interested in acquiring specific parts of their operations. In our case, we were actively approached by several potential buyers who were keen on acquiring our IT division.
