Lloyds Corporate Brokers

SALE SUCCESS! Specialist Transport Sells To Australian Family

Lloyds Corporate Brokers has completed the sale of a 30+ year old New South Wales regional based Wholesale Distributor of branded Ice Cream products.

East Coast Distributors (NSW) services the mid North Coast of NSW, supplying market leading ice cream brands to route trade customers including service stations, beach kiosks, independent grocery stores, schools and ice creameries.

The business has been established for over 33 years and commands a high market share within the area. Sole distribution rights account for over 60% of turnover.

Both Directors have been actively involved in the industry for over 40 years, in both corporate management roles and as owners/directors of a wholesale distribution business.

The products East Coast Distributors (NSW) distribute are already well-established brands in the marketplace requiring no further marketing from them. The major corporate partners produce the products and advertise the products on behalf of the wholesale distributors nationally.

As a result of Covid 19, the mid North Coast of NSW has experienced unprecedented population growth and has become a very desirable location in which to reside. This was an opportunity for a buyer to purchase a long established, reputable wholesale distribution business, offered for sale for the first time due to the retirement wishes of both Directors.

Lloyds initiated the sales process with a Business appraisal and Preparation of an Information Memorandum and Marketing teaser. This resulted in Lloyds obtaining 38 qualified buyer enquiries and 3 offers received.

This business opportunity received National and International enquiries from strategic buyers, private equity groups, high net worth individuals, as well as advisors to qualified buyers.

Lloyds facilitated introductory meetings and worked with the vendor and the advisors through all aspects of the sale process.

The Sale was conducted by Kevin Sutherland who is the Director of International Business Sales for Lloyds.

SALE SUCCESS! Commercial Industrial Fencing Sold To Crimsafe

Lloyds Corporate Brokers has completed the Sale of a very successful and much sought-after Commercial, Industrial, Retail Fencing business located in northern Queensland.

A family business founded over 25 years ago, Cairns Fencing is the dominant provider of industrial, commercial, and residential fencing supplies and fencing installation in its region.

Therefore, Cairns Fencing is called in to deliver projects as large and as high security as fencing a domestic or regional airport, or as far away as Saibai and Mornington Islands in the Torres Strait. Other territories include Torres Strait Islands, Cape York Communities, South to Cassowary Coast.

Lloyds Corporate Brokers initiated the sales process with a business appraisal and preparation of an Information Memorandum and marketing teaser. This highly sought-after business received over 50 qualified inquiries and 4 offers.

In this instance, Lloyds Corporate Brokers approached Crimsafe directly regarding the opportunity, noting that the company had acquired a similar business the previous year and this would be a fantastic strategic opportunity for the group to further their coverage in the State.

Lloyds facilitated introductory meetings with prospective buyers and worked with the vendor and the advisors through all aspects of the sale process, including deal structuring and negotiation of sale terms.

The Sale was conducted by our Lloyds Corporate Brokers Managing Director Garry Stephensen and Dianne Reynolds, Broker who worked closely with the vendor to achieve a successful result for both vendor and buyer.

Navigating The Emotional Aspects Of Selling Your Business

Selling a business can be an exciting and rewarding experience, but it can also be accompanied by a range of emotions. The process of letting go of something you have built and invested so much in over such a long time, can be difficult. It's natural to feel a mix of excitement, anxiety, and attachment.

Understand Your Emotions

As you consider the decision to sell your business, take stock of your own emotions and understand what is driving them. Common emotions that may arise include fear of the unknown, uncertainty about the future, and attachment to the business you have built.

It's important to recognize and acknowledge these emotions rather than trying to suppress them. During a busy day, emotions can often come and go frequently without time to analyse them. Consider keeping a log or journal of how you feel.

Some techniques for managing and coping with these emotions include seeking support from trusted advisors, engaging in self-care activities, and finding ways to express your emotions in a healthy manner. This can help you cope with the changes and challenges that come with selling a business.

Your mental health is important. The Australian government provides and subsidizes range of mental health support channels. If you find yourself struggling, you can visit beyondblue.org.au or qld.gov.au/health/mental-health/help-lines for support and resources; including counselling, helplines and health providers.

Help lines, counselling and support groups Find information and support groups for mental illness.
