This route can allow partial realisation of value at float, an increased profile for your company and access to capital for future growth.

A range of competing trade bidders. Comparable evaluation from public markets and institutional investors. A confidential platform comprising multiple bids from different buyer types in order to drive optimum conditions and leverage value throughout the transaction. Multiple Private Equity/Investor bidders.

TripleTrack – Trade Acquirers

Imagine having tomorrow's racing results today

Many of our clients see a trade acquirer as the perfect solution, providing a secure future and longevity to the staff, suppliers and customers who have helped to build the business into what it has become today. An acquisition by a trade purchaser can provide an excellent ‘bolt-on’ opportunity and/or fantastic strategic benefits. This area of the market is currently extremely buoyant, as many private and public companies look to grow through acquisition versus the often slower and more challenging route of organic growth. Trade Acquirers A trade acquisition often provides an outright sale, either to a private or publicly owned company, typically involving a buyer within an equivalent or complementary sector. The acquirer could be UK based, or be an overseas organisation looking to gain a foothold in the UK market.

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.

An ever-popular option

“ Proving just how popular trade sales remain, over 5,500 transactions have takenplace to trade acquirers since the start of 2016.” (Source: Zephyr, Bureau Van Dijk, July 2018)

IPO/Flotations

Drive growth / raise profile

An Initial Public Offering (IPO) or Flotation, is when a company offers its shares for sale to be traded publicly through a recognised stock exchange, such as the Alternative Investment Market (AIM). There are many benefits for existing shareholders, allowing partial realisation of value, an increased profile for their company and access to capital for future growth, all whilst maintaining control of their Boardroom. An increasing number of growing companies are utilising the AIM market to achieve their personal and company objectives.

IPO

Facilitate further success

Increase share price

IPO benefits The Business Owner Those looking to maintain some level of interest in their business may find an IPO suited to them. This is because it allows for a partial realisation of value whilst still allowing them to retain control and drive future growth and value. The Management Team/Employees An IPO can allow management and employees to purchase shares or become part of a long-term incentive scheme, giving them a sense of ownership in the company where they work. An IPO can also raise the profile of a business, increasing its visibility and making it the preferred choice of suppliers and customers. The Institutional Shareholders Growth can often be accelerated as a result of an IPO, a plc can often access capital more readily, and the natural exposure and visibility that are gained as a public entity, can fuel organic growth.
