The benefits of trade acquirers

TripleTrack – Trade Acquirers »

The Business Owner A trade sale grants business owners a high degree of certainty, often allowing them to realise all or most of their value on 'day one' and exit the business. In certain circumstances, the client may choose to remain employed part-time or in a consultancy capacity, offering a phased route of handover towards a well-earned retirement or perhaps to pursue other interests. The Stakeholders Many of our clients quote the consideration of management, staff, customers and key suppliers as an important factor in deciding upon their ideal acquirer. A larger parent company can provide continuity and stability for all parties. The Trade Acquirer A trade acquisition can provide the buyer with the ready-made opportunity to break into new markets or territories by acquiring a business that has a well- established product or service offering and a loyal client base.
