asset sales

Asset sales occur when a company sells specific assets—like property, equipment, or divisions—to raise cash or refocus its business strategy. Unlike selling the entire company, asset sales involve transferring ownership of individual parts, which can help improve financial health or fund new opportunities. This process can be strategic, such as divesting non-core assets or responding to financial pressures. The proceeds from these sales can be used to pay debts, invest in other areas, or strengthen the company’s overall position. Asset sales are common tools for companies managing change or optimizing their asset portfolio.
