BUSINESS TRANSACTIONS
We advise on and manage transactions for owner-managed businesses from start to finish.
Transaktionshuset is an advisory firm that handles business transactions valued at SEK 20 million and above.
Every member of our dedicated team previously worked at another firm in the industry. Our shared experience there has shaped the way Transaktionshuset works and how we engage with clients and partners.
We build lasting relationships and support you as a client over time. We work towards a shared goal, whether you are seeking a full exit or the right partner for your business.
Understanding the day-to-day realities of individual entrepreneurs is central to our approach. We all have extensive experience in business transactions and transaction advisory work, and have run our own businesses for many years. This has given us first-hand experience of both acquisitions and disposals.
Get in touch and we will arrange an initial meeting. No strings attached.
LONG-STAY CAR PARK, STOCKHOLM:
“Seek professional help when you are thinking of selling your life's work”
After running the business for two decades, the owner engaged Transaktionshuset to sell the long-stay car park, which had grown from 400 to more than 1,200 parking spaces. The sale process involved considerably more work than the owner had expected, including a review of documentation, staff, contracts and infrastructure. Transaktionshuset secured an all-cash sale at a price well above the seller’s expectations.
“My first thought was to handle the sale myself. I imagined it would be a bit like selling a car: prospective buyers would come and kick the tyres before we signed the contract. But several friends and business contacts advised against it and made me think again. I would recommend that other business owners in the same position always engage a professional transaction adviser.”
FAMILY BUSINESS IN THE SPORT FISHING INDUSTRY:
“We achieved the price we had hoped for, while the business continues and the employees have kept their jobs.”
After almost 90 years as a family-owned business in the sport fishing industry, two siblings decided to sell and engaged Transaktionshuset to manage the transaction. Despite a lengthy process affected by the pandemic and extensive due diligence, Transaktionshuset identified several qualified buyers through its broad network and structured approach. The result was a transaction that satisfied both buyer and sellers and gave the business and its employees a secure future. For the sellers, the sale also offered the opportunity for a quieter life after many years of running the company.
HOUSEHOLD GOODS AGENCY BUSINESS:
“An experienced transaction team gave me confidence in the sale”
After almost 30 years as an entrepreneur, the owner of a household goods agency decided to sell to secure a strong future for the business. Transaktionshuset ran a structured sale process, identified several qualified buyers and completed the transaction in five months. The main challenge was ensuring a smooth transition for a key international supplier. This was resolved through a careful introduction of the new owner. The business continues under its new ownership, the buyer acquired a well-run company, and the seller was able to hand it over with peace of mind.
“I had devoted almost 30 years to this company. When you sell, everything has to be done properly. Transaktionshuset made sure it was.”
TECHNICAL INSULATION COMPANY:
“Without Transaktionshuset, the deal would never have happened”
After almost 50 years as an entrepreneur, the owner chose to sell the business to secure its future and provide stability for its employees. With Transaktionshuset’s support, the sale process led to a buyer with the right industry expertise and long-term ambitions, despite the impact of the pandemic. The seller describes the process as much smoother than expected, thanks to Transaktionshuset’s experienced team, which handled negotiations, documentation and contact with specialists. The transaction ensured a successful handover and a secure future for the company, while allowing the seller to step back at his own pace.
“I am handing over the business I have spent my life building. It could not have gone better.”
MARKET LEADER IN BRAILLE PRINTING:
“Thanks to Transaktionshuset, we found the right solution”
After many years of owning a Braille printing business, two entrepreneurs decided to sell to a new owner who could take the company forward. Transaktionshuset ran a structured sale process and identified a local buyer with the right ambitions and a long-term outlook. It was essential to the sellers that the business, its employees and its important service to society had a secure future. The transaction gave them a solution they were happy with and the confidence to end their time as entrepreneurs.
“Transaktionshuset know what they are doing, and they always keep you informed. We could call at any time if we had a question. They also have a fantastic network. That was probably crucial in finding a new owner we feel completely comfortable with.”
BUYER OF A MARKET LEADER IN BRAILLE PRINTING:
“Transaktionshuset were good at bringing the deal together”
An investor seeking a strategic add-on acquisition bought a Braille printing company through a process led by Transaktionshuset. The main challenge was giving the sellers time to feel confident in their decision while maintaining momentum and keeping everyone engaged. Once the decision was made, the transaction was well prepared, with efficient due diligence and an organised data room enabling a smooth completion. A year later, the buyer describes the acquisition as highly successful: the business is stable, a new CEO is in place, and there are plans for international expansion.
“Transaktionshuset did an excellent job of keeping the process moving despite the long lead times. That was probably crucial to reaching an agreement that worked very well for both us and the seller.”
SOFTWARE AND TRAINING FOR THE CNC AND MACHINING INDUSTRY:
“It was good to have the Transaktionshuset team on our side”
A group of owners sold a specialist company providing software and training for the CNC and machining industry to an international industrial group following an extensive transaction process. The deal involved complex contract negotiations in English and required legal and technical transaction expertise to reach a successful conclusion. The sellers wanted to secure both the continued development of the business and the future of its employees, which the transaction achieved. Following the sale, the company has a long-term owner well placed to support further growth.
“The sale agreement was extensive and all negotiations were conducted in English. Without the support of Transaktionshuset’s advisers and the lawyers they introduced us to, we would never have completed the deal.”
CLEANING COMPANY SPECIALISING IN COMMUNAL AREAS AND PROPERTY SERVICES:
“If I were to do it again, I would choose Transaktionshuset without hesitation.”
Over three decades, the entrepreneur built a leading business in the cleaning of communal areas and property services. After years of preparation, he carried out a planned ownership transition. His aim was to find a buyer who could develop the business further while looking after its employees and culture. A structured sale process found a long-term owner who met those requirements and delivered an outcome with which the seller was very pleased. The transaction provided a smooth transition for both employees and family and marked the start of a new chapter after many years as an entrepreneur.
“Transaktionshuset guided us through the entire process and made us feel very confident. You can tell they know what they are doing.”
