As corporations grow, either through organic expansion or following an ambitious acquisition growth strategy, they run the risk of accumulating overly complex and inefficient group structures that can be hugely detrimental to performance. Divesting a company of unprofitable and non-performing entities, allows resources to be diverted to more profitable and revenue-generating areas of the business.
Our corporate simplification team helps companies streamline complex group structures to improve efficiencies, reduce administrative burden, unlock hidden value, and highlight areas of non-performance without disrupting day-to-day operations.
We work with boards, in-house counsel, and finance teams to plan and implement robust and strategic simplification projects. Whether you are pursuing improved efficiency, preparing for a transaction, or responding to group-wide changes, our experienced team will help you design and deliver a simplification strategy that aligns with your commercial goals and current market demands.
Our work includes solvent liquidations, capital reductions, intra-group reorganisations, and the removal of legacy or non-compliant entities. We manage the legal, regulatory, and tax implications of simplification projects, coordinating closely with your internal stakeholders and external advisers to minimise risk and ensure compliance at every stage.
Many corporate structures contain historic or overseas entities with hidden liabilities or poor records. We identify and address these issues early, offering pragmatic solutions to ensure a clean and compliance-enhancing outcome. Where appropriate, we also advise on contingency planning and protections for any residual risk.
Corporate simplification is not just housekeeping, it is a powerful strategic tool to support agility, transparency, and long-term value. BTG can help future-proof your business by cutting through the complexity with clear solutions for lasting results.
