The TradeExit x Fix Radio Story

"Blue collar is the new blue chip. Home owners and commercial property operators are always going to need trusted companies to fix their heating at midnight or ensure their building is fire compliant. These are mission-critical, future-proof businesses."

"The owners building the plumbing, fire safety, electrical, and HVAC companies that keep the UK running have been underserved by the advisory industry for decades. We're here to give them the same quality of exit support that a £500m corporate gets, at a fraction of the cost, powered by AI."

"Fix Radio is the only place where we can reach hundreds of thousands of trade business owners in their vans, on site, every single week. There's no LinkedIn campaign, no conference circuit, no mailer that comes close to that kind of direct line to the people we exist to serve."

"Our AI speaks to dozens of active acquirers every week, building a near-perfect memory of what each buyer actually pays, how they structure deals, and where their red lines sit. That means when we introduce an owner to a buyer, we already know whether it's a real match or a waste of everyone's time."

"Most of the owners we speak to have spent twenty or thirty years building something exceptional. They deserve full visibility on who the acquirers are, what valuations they'll pay, and how to get the business into a state where it isn't reliant on them. When that groundwork is in place early, they have real choice. They can move when the timing is right for them, on their terms."

"We're genuinely pleased to be partnering with Joe and the team at TradeExit. They've raised money from some of the best investors in the world and they've chosen to double down on the trade services sector rather than chase whatever's trending. You can see how passionate Joe is about the technology they've built to help owners transform their companies, automate the bits that slow them down, and actually enjoy running the business while they're preparing it for sale."

"What's been brilliant is that we're already seeing meeting bookings come through from business owners who heard about TradeExit on the station. Some are a few months away from selling, some are a few years away, and some aren't planning to sell at all. They just want a proper conversation about getting their business into the best possible shape. That's exactly the kind of support our listeners deserve."

"Even if you're not thinking about selling any time soon, it's worth having a call with TradeExit. They've built custom workflow automations that help owners free up their time, reduce how much the business depends on them day to day, and grow the company while they're asleep. That's valuable whether you ever sell or not."

"Most M&A advisors and business brokers in this country are generalists. They don't have the deep network or the time invested in getting to know the specific buyers who acquire trade businesses. TradeExit have put the pedal to the metal on building those buyer relationships and they understand exactly what each acquirer is looking for. When they match an owner to a buyer, there's a much stronger chance it turns into a real deal on terms the seller is happy with."

"Selling a business always involves risk, and getting ready for it properly is the single biggest thing an owner can do to protect what they've built. If selling one day is a goal, putting the groundwork in early is absolutely paramount. That's why we're proud to be sending our listeners to a specialist who takes that seriously."
