A freight forwarding company established in 2007 and headquartered in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania is for sale. The company offers comprehensive services related to reliable freight transport, professional warehousing, and on-time deliveries in northeastern Germany. The sale is taking place as part of insolvency proceedings; the goal is to achieve a transfer date in the near future. The company has a well-established market presence, well-oiled operational structures, and experienced employees. Daily deliveries are coordinated from the company’s location Monday through Friday. For particularly time-sensitive shipments, same-day delivery is offered, both during the day and at night, within Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. A particular advantage lies in the flexible fleet. It comprises a total of 13 vehicles, primarily vans and trucks. In addition, the company has access to over 2,500 m² of leased warehouse space. This includes, among other things, video-monitored areas, cold storage rooms, and high-rack pallet storage, making it suitable for sensitive goods as well.

Brandenburg

An established retail company with a strong private label for cleaning and personal care products

The company sells chemical products to end consumers under its own brand—with a clear focus on household cleaning and the automotive sector. Highly efficient with a lean workforce, numerous automated processes (AI), and a fully digitized inventory management system (JTL). With its existing workforce structure, the company offers significant potential for scaling, with over 25 products currently in development and market expansion into the UK and the U.S. A long-term, exclusive partnership with a mid-sized and, above all, growth-oriented manufacturer ensures continuous product availability—this manufacturer produces 95% of all products in Germany exclusively for our distribution. The company for sale is cash flow-optimized and structured in such a way that capital expenditure for purchasing goods is kept to a minimum. The management team appointed for the company will remain with the company after the sale and is planning for the long term. A structured scaling plan for the next three fiscal years has already been developed. This plan calls for doubling the product range—while maintaining existing processes, current distribution partners, and the current staffing structure. Expansion into the UK and U.S. markets is already underway. In addition, attractive growth opportunities are emerging through the development of the company’s own online store, entry into teleshopping formats, B2B partnerships, and placement in brick-and-mortar retail stores. These prospects offer the potential to further develop the brand into one of the leading players in the household chemicals sector in Germany. The company is being sold directly by the shareholders. The reason for the sale is a change of location and personal and business changes affecting both shareholders.

Buying a company vs. buying a firm

Buying a company means acquiring an independent organizational unit that regularly carries out an economic activity. A company can consist of one or several business operations. An individual can also found such an independent unit if they regularly carry out an economic activity — in that case it is called a sole proprietorship. As a rule, sole proprietors don't have to register in the commercial register; without that registration, they don't legally count as a "firm." A trade name, colloquially a "firm," is the name under which a company or sole proprietor appears publicly and conducts its business. Buying "a firm" therefore technically means acquiring the company's name or trading name. In everyday use, though, it's used interchangeably with buying a company — i.e. acquiring the entire business.
