GS Verde advises on domiciliary company acquisition

GS Verde has advised on the successful acquisition of an established domiciliary company.

The company has over 20 years of experience in delivering quality service to its residents in need of nursing care.

The trade sale will see the new owners, based in Newport, carry on the legacy of the care home, along with maintaining its services and help grow the business.

A trade sale is considered a “popular” way to exit a business and an “ideal” way for a buyer to acquire a company either through acquiring a company’s shares or assets as a whole or in part.

Additionally, a trade sale is advantageous as it provides a “clean break” for the seller from the business due to retirement for instance, it improves the buyer’s market position and provides the chance to earn full value for the business as a competitive bidding process can drive the sale price.

GS Verde said: “Another advantage of a trade sale is the fact that, typically, both businesses will have come from the same sector or industry, so the buyer will be familiar with the target environment which will make the sale a much smoother process and fuel company growth.

“For the process to run smoothly, a seller must consider the best long-term outcome for their business and to select a structure which will take its company to the next level for future success.”
