Trade sale

Trade sale

A trade sale is a common way of exit to a trade buyer. This allows the management to withdraw from the business and may open up the prospect of collaboration on a larger project.

It normally entails the disposal of a company's shares or assets and even liabilities, in whole or in part. This may refer to a strategic buyer who intends to grow his business or to a financial buyer who wants to generate a financial return on his invested capital at the time of exit.
