LiveWire ‘Outsources’ Almost Everythin...

You in all probability do not want me to let you know that occasions are robust proper now. To some extent or one other, you are seeing it in your individual life. Whether or not it is the value of eggs, the value of heating your house this winter, or one thing else completely. Dwelling is pricey.

Corporations nonetheless aren’t folks as we begin off 2025. However in a bizarre method, it is nonetheless form of comprehensible that LiveWire moved back in with parent company Harley-Davidson in 2024. As a result of stuff, it’s costly, and it would not look to be getting any cheaper any time quickly.

In that vein, LiveWire seems to be drawing in even nearer to Harley-Davidson’s heat to kick off the New 12 months. In a brand new submitting with the US Securities and Change Fee, the American EV motorbike maker spells out in nice element the phrases of a brand new settlement it is simply put into place with its mum or dad firm.

Put merely, it’s ‘outsourcing’ an enormous variety of enterprise features again to Harley-Davidson, for which it can pay its mum or dad a month-to-month charge. Is that just like the enterprise model of when your mother and father ask you to pay hire?

What sort of companies are we speaking about? Here is the total record:

  • Companies supporting testing and growth
  • Product regulatory help
  • Coloration supplies
  • Finishes
  • Paint and graphics
  • Technical publication
  • Utility help and upkeep
  • Service desk help
  • Warehousing help
  • Manufacturing growth
  • Security investigation
  • Advertising automobile and fleet heart
  • Knowledge privateness and safety companies
  • Administration
  • Human assets
  • Atmosphere Well being and Security (EHS)
  • Insurance coverage
  • High quality Administration System (QMS)
  • Guarantee analytics
  • Provide chain administration
  • Engineering
  • Buyer and seller help
  • Environmental Social and Governance (ESG) help
  • Monetary reporting and accounting companies
  • Finance help companies
  • Fleet gross sales and advertising help 

Contemplating that Harley-Davidson already produces LiveWire bikes for its EV youngster, which it then ships to wherever LiveWires are bought (each within the US and Europe right now), it is changing into much less clear the place Harley ends and LiveWire begins.

 

For all intents and functions, LiveWire is legally a separate enterprise entity. That was the complete objective of the much-ballyhooed SPAC merger the firm completed to be spun off at the beginning of 2022. And as all of us at RideApart have stated earlier than, we’re not a enterprise publication.

However for those who’re utilizing the identical folks and similar assets to make totally different machines, are you continue to your individual firm?

On paper, possibly. However is that every one?
