Company Split-up
There are certain benefits by splitting up a company. First of all it provides a much better asset protection, because a potential law suit cannot take down the entire corporation.
Secondly a company split up is beneficial when selling assets. The combined worth of both companies can at times be higher than a combined company. Focus on specific areas, and just that makes each company seem more unique and valued "safer" as they keep a focus.
From an investment point of view, company purchase is interesting if the company has the availability to split up after purchase. Purchasing a company and selling it in small bits can bring back astronomical return if done right, and the focus is kept on how to make each of the sub structures more specialized.
If the company is public listed, the shares will be divided accordingly to the books and the nature of targeted income from each sector that the new company will have "access" to benefit from. Usually a split up is done by eliminating the initial company all together and creating two new companies.
