Selling to a Trade Buyer

Selling your business to a complementary trade buyer can often result in a higher valuation, especially if the buyer is looking to expand their market share or acquire your unique capabilities. Trade buyers, typically operating within the same industry, may see significant strategic value in your business. This exit option allows for a clean break, where the new owner takes full control, and you walk away with the agreed-upon sale price.

Key Considerations:

Valuation Potential: Trade buyers may offer a premium price.
Industry Expertise: A buyer with industry knowledge can make the transition smoother.
Post-Sale Involvement: Typically, the seller exits entirely, though transitional roles may be offered.
