A UK-based property advisory company successfully completed a trade sale, in a deal advised on by GS Verde Group.

Established 5 years ago, the experienced team at the facilities consultancy provide a variety of services for its clients including tenants, corporate occupiers, building owners, property managers and shopping centres.

The trade sale is an advantageous route for the consultancy company as it takes the business to a new level and on the path to long-term success.

Trade sales allow assets or shares to be sold to another company within the same sector or industry, and is a well-established exit strategy for a business. By selling shares or assets to another company, a business can ensure continuity remains when the transferring of ownership occurs. This is particularly valuable as the new owners will often share the same vision as the seller - protecting the legacy and operations of the business.

For buyers, acquiring a business presents a wide variety of opportunities within their own industry and an enticing amount of strategic benefits. Purchasing a company allows the new owners to experience significant growth by expanding its customer base within new geographic regions, inheriting an already existing customer base and implementing new products and services. Another advantage for buyers when acquiring an already successful business is being able to build on its established reputation and operations rather than building the company from scratch.

For sellers, a trade sale is a chance to achieve specific goals as a business owner such as pursuing new ventures or preparing for retirement, so finding a buyer that has a vision and goals that aligns with yours will encourage your business to continue flourishing.

Another benefit of selling a business to another company within the same industry is being able to experience a smoother and seamless transition, with both parties having a mutual understanding of the market.
