More Than a Sale: Finding the Right Buyer with the Right Support

Taking the first step towards selling her nursery

For many nursery owners, deciding to sell their business is a significant milestone. However, knowing where to begin, what to expect and how to find the right buyer can often feel overwhelming.

For Emma Wilson, selling her nursery was unfamiliar territory. Having never been through the process before, she was unsure of the steps involved and wanted reassurance that she would have the right guidance throughout.

Choosing Owen Froebel meant having experienced professionals by her side, helping her navigate the process and make informed decisions with confidence.

Finding the right buyers through market knowledge and experience

From the outset, Leah and Sarah worked closely with Emma, providing practical advice, answering questions and ensuring she understood each stage of the sale.

Their knowledge of the nursery market and established buyer network played an important role in generating consistent interest in Emma’s business.

But finding a buyer is only part of a successful nursery sale. Identifying the right buyer, someone suited to the business and its future, is equally important.

Emma valued the team’s understanding of the market and their ability to identify suitable prospective purchasers, giving her confidence that her nursery was being presented to the right people.

A personal approach that made the difference

Throughout the transaction, communication remained a priority.

Leah and Sarah were available whenever Emma needed advice or reassurance, often responding to questions outside normal working hours.

This consistent support helped make what could have been a complicated process feel straightforward and manageable.

For Emma, however, what stood out most was the genuine care shown by the team. Rather than feeling like another transaction, she felt that Leah and Sarah were personally invested in achieving a successful outcome.

A successful sale and a lasting relationship

When the sale finally completed, Emma felt a combination of excitement and relief.

The completion marked the successful conclusion of her nursery sale, but it was the relationship built throughout the process that left the strongest impression.

Emma was so pleased with her experience that she has since recommended Owen Froebel to five other nursery owners, reflecting the trust and confidence she developed in the team.

In Emma’s Own Words

“I 100% made the right choice choosing Owen Froebel. I didn’t know how to sell my nursery or what to expect, but Leah and Sarah were on hand whenever I needed guidance. The whole process was easy, with help and advice whenever required.

The communication was excellent. Even outside of normal hours, they were there to answer my questions, and their knowledge of the nursery market meant there was constant interest and they knew who the right buyers were for me.

When the sale completed, I felt elated and relieved. You could tell from Leah and Sarah’s excitement that they genuinely cared about me and the sale, rather than seeing me as just another number.

I’ve already recommended Owen Froebel to five other nursery owners, and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone thinking about selling.”
