comprar, desmantelar, vender
Also, but it, strip it, flip it.
flip it means sell it, get rid of it quickly, for a profit. It is used a lot in real estate, but also I guess for companies
leaving it in the infinitive makes it more periodistic, and dodges the problem of which person to use

comprarlo, destrozarlo (usarlo) y tirarlo a la basura
lo que se me ocurrió al leer la frase. Es lo que algunas empresas (especialmente inverstores) hacen con empresas que tienen problemas

: Esta opción es similar a la de "descartar" propuesta por otro colega. Opino que no se ajusta a la situación, especialmente después de leer el artículo del enlace.

: Se trata de comprar empresas en problemas para reorganizarlas y venderlas con ganancia, no se pueden "descartar".

cómprelo, aproveche los activos, y recíclelo ya
Tomando en cuenta que debería ser "stip it", no tear it, y que la idea de "flip it" es que rápidamente se transfiera a un tercero.
