Spin out refers to a type of
spin off where a company "splits off" sections of itself as a separate business.The common definition of spin out is when a division of a company or organization becomes an independent business. The "spin out" company takes assets,
intellectual property,
technology, and/or existing products from the parent organization. Many times the
management team of the new company are from the same parent organization. Often, a spin-out offers the opportunity for a division to be backed by the company but not be affected by the parent company's image or history, giving potential to grow existing ideas that had been in an old environment and help them grow in a new environment.
