Selling your company

Triangle’s preferred method of operation is to be exclusively retained by clients wishing to sell their businesses. This demonstrates a seriousness of intent to potential buyers, and formally establishes a relationship between Triangle and vendors. All vendors and purchasers will have signed Confidentiality Agreements on file with Triangle before names of companies are ever revealed.

Larger businesses for sale that might be easily recognisable are not listed here in order to protect confidentiality; information on these will only be made available to prospective purchasers that can demonstrate serious intent and after receiving vendors’ approval. Triangle does however have many retained clients whose businesses are smaller (less than $15 million of net annual sales), that we put in front of a larger audience. Such companies include:

• Freight forwarders (seafreight, air and multi-modal);
• Road hauliers (UK-based, predominantly domestic traffic);
• Storage and distribution companies (in a number of market sectors including ambient foods and general goods).

In addition to the above Triangle is aware of many other businesses whose owners would be willing to sell to the right buyer, but who have not retained Triangle’s services. As a result Triangle will charge an introduction fee to the buyer upon completion of a purchase or other related transaction.
