Trade Sale
Strategic business sales to competitors or enterprises seeking expansion
Trade Sale
A trade sale is when a business is sold to another business, most likely a competitor or an enterprise looking to scale up quickly into your sector or geography. The strategic nature of a trade sale means the buyer will have already analysed and understood the synergies and benefits, which can lead to a reasonably streamlined process.
Why Trade Sales Work
Strategic Value
Buyers understand synergies and strategic benefits, often leading to premium valuations.
Streamlined Process
Strategic buyers often move faster having already analyzed the market and benefits.
Proven Success
Trade sales often have higher completion rates due to strategic alignment and motivation.
