Express Digital Separation
for Technology Carve-Outs
CarveX is AssetMax’s express digital separation service for technology carve-outs. It helps investors, sellers, and management teams untangle integrated IT and digital environments so the carve-out business can operate independently and securely after the transaction. CarveX covers separation planning and execution across infrastructure, applications, data migration, cybersecurity/compliance, and TSA readiness — protecting deal timelines, preventing stranded costs, and improving buyer confidence.

Built for Investment Teams That Need Clean, Executable Separation
What CarveX Delivers
Stand up a secure, standalone IT and digital environment for a carved-out business
Separation planning across infrastructure, applications, data, and identity/access
TSA scoping and readiness to avoid Day-1 disruption and value leakage
Buyer- and seller-ready separation evidence that reduces transaction friction
From Origination to Exit:
Maximised Asset Value.
CarveX connects separation planning, execution, and TSA readiness into a single transaction-ready framework — ensuring carve-outs achieve Day-1 independence without disruption or value leakage.
Scope Separation Risk Early in Diligence
Identify separation complexity, cost drivers, and Day-1 dependencies
Define the target-state standalone IT model (or buyer platform approach)
Surface stranded costs, contract/license constraints, and critical path risks
Provide inputs to SPA protections, pricing, and transition planning
Where a carve-out is in scope, CarveX supports Confirmatory Due Diligence by translating technology entanglement into clear separation scope, risk, and cost-to-standalone. This gives deal teams earlier confidence on feasibility and timing, and provides practical inputs into pricing, protections, and the transition plan before signing.
Plan Day-1 Independence Without Surprises
Stand up the standalone environment to ensure operational continuity
Establish access management, security controls, and compliance foundations
Align cutover plan, roles, and governance across buyer/seller and suppliers
Reduce disruption to customers, revenue operations, and critical workflows
CarveX’s primary value is ensuring Day-1 operational continuity. It designs and prepares the carved-out entity’s IT and digital foundations — including security and compliance controls — so the business can function independently immediately after close. The result is smoother sign-to-close execution and faster value capture.
Execute Separation and TSA Exit Without Value Leakage
Deliver a controlled migration of systems, data, and contracts
Manage TSA exit requirements and milestones to avoid prolonged dependency
Reduce disruption and security/compliance exposure during transition
Prevent stranded costs and stabilise the standalone operating model
During the Holding Period, CarveX supports Continuous Risk & Downside Protection by executing the separation workstream in a controlled way — maintaining continuity while reducing dependency on the seller. By managing TSA readiness and the critical separation milestones, it minimises operational disruption, security/compliance risk, and value leakage.
Increase Buyer Confidence in Carve-Out Assets
Produce buyer-ready separation scope, cost, and delivery evidence
Demonstrate that the asset is standalone, secure, and scalable
Reduce buyer uncertainty that leads to valuation haircuts
Accelerate diligence cycles by answering common separation questions upfront
At Exit Readiness (or for sell-side processes), CarveX reduces friction by packaging clear separation evidence that buyers want: scope, risks, costs, and readiness to operate independently. This helps prevent valuation discounts driven by uncertainty and supports smoother diligence through credible, audit-ready documentation.
Deliver clean separation, reduce risk, and protect value in carve-out transactions.
