From signing to Day 1 to TSA exit - with an independent hand on the programme
Carve-outs fail quietly: TSAs that never end, hidden dependencies, Day 1 surprises. Tequma provides independent separation assurance for deal teams and portfolio leadership - above the integrators, aligned only with the deal.
Where separations go wrong
- TSA scope written by the seller, priced by the seller, extended by the seller
- Day 1 readiness declared on slides, not evidence
- ERP and infrastructure dependencies discovered after signing
- No single owner of the separation critical path
What we do
Pre-signing.
Technology due diligence on separation cost, timeline and TSA exposure.
Day 1 assurance.
Independent verification that the business can actually operate on Day 1.
TSA exit leadership.
A governed exit plan with dates, dependencies and cost-down milestones - and the senior pressure to hit them.
Standalone operating model.
Assurance over the target IT landscape, not the build itself.
Who we work with
Private equity deal teams, portfolio company leadership and corporate M&A functions across Switzerland, Germany, France and Poland.
