Bulk Sales: Are Multiple Companies Worth More?

The Bulk Discount Reality

Yes, selling multiple companies at once does get you better pricing—but not in the way you might expect. You don't necessarily get a discount per company. Instead, you get premium pricing that reflects market efficiency.

How Bulk Sales Work

Single Company Sale

You submit one company. We verify, value, and buy it. Processing overhead is the same regardless of the company's age or VAT status.

Bulk Sale (3+ Companies)

You submit multiple companies. We process all of them together, consolidate documentation, and execute simultaneous transfers. This reduces administrative overhead significantly.

The Pricing Advantage

Scenario	Company Age	Per-Company Rate	Bulk Discount
Single Sale	2010 (Vintage)	R35,000	—
Bulk Sale (3 cos)	2010 (Vintage)	R38,000	+8.5%
Bulk Sale (5+ cos)	2010 (Vintage)	R40,000	+14%

Key insight: Bulk sales don't reduce per-company value—they increase it. You're rewarded for efficiency and lower transaction costs for us.

Why Bulk Sales Get Premium Pricing

1. Administrative Efficiency

Processing 5 companies together costs less than processing them separately. We pass some of this savings to you as a premium.

2. Risk Diversification

Bulk purchases give us a portfolio. If one company has hidden issues, others offset the cost. We can therefore pay more confidently.

3. Consolidated CIPC/SARS Filing

Filing 5 transfers together is more efficient than filing them separately. Lower operational costs = higher seller payouts.

4. Volume Commitment

Bulk sellers demonstrate commitment and portfolio quality. We value reliable partners and reward them with better rates.

Who Benefits Most from Bulk Sales?

Accountants & Tax Practitioners

If you have 5–10 client companies sitting dormant, bundling them into a bulk sale gets you premium pricing. Many accountants generate R100,000+ by selling client portfolios.

Business Owners with Multiple Entities

If you've incorporated multiple companies over the years, selling them together is faster and more profitable than individual sales.

Estate Settlements

Liquidating a deceased's company portfolio? Bulk sale accelerates the process and maximizes payout.

Bulk Sale Process

Step 1: Submit All Companies

Provide details for all companies you're selling. We review each one's CIPC and SARS status.

Step 2: Individual Valuations

Each company is valued based on its own age, VAT status, and compliance. The bulk premium applies to all of them.

Step 3: Consolidated Offer

You receive one total offer for all companies. This is the sum of individual valuations plus the bulk premium.

Step 4: Simultaneous Transfer

All documents are prepared together. You sign once for all companies. All transfers happen simultaneously.

Step 5: Single Payout

One EFT deposit to your account covering all companies. No separate transactions. Easy accounting.

Real-World Example

Accountant selling 6 client companies:

• Company A (2007, VAT): Single price R42,000 → Bulk price R45,000
• Company B (2012, VAT): Single price R15,000 → Bulk price R16,500
• Company C (2018, Non-VAT): Single price R7,000 → Bulk price R7,500
• Company D (2009, VAT): Single price R38,000 → Bulk price R41,500
• Company E (2015, VAT): Single price R12,000 → Bulk price R13,200
• Company F (2021, Non-VAT): Single price R5,000 → Bulk price R5,300

Individual Total: R119,000

Bulk Sale Total: R129,000 (8.4% premium)

Additional Revenue: R10,000 just for bundling

Minimum for Bulk Pricing

Bulk discounts apply when you're selling 3 or more companies. If you have 2 companies, submit them individually—the pricing is the same.

Compliance Requirements for Bulk Sales

Each company in a bulk sale must still meet our standard requirements:

• ✓ Valid CIPC registration
• ✓ Clean SARS compliance
• ✓ No active audits or investigations
• ✓ Current Tax Compliance Pin

If one company doesn't qualify, we can still buy the others at standard pricing. You're not forced to sell all-or-nothing.

Timeline for Bulk Sales

Bulk sales follow the same 48-hour timeline as single sales, but verification takes slightly longer due to volume:

• Submission: Hour 0
• Verification: Hour 4–16 (depends on company count)
• Offer: Hour 16–20
• Payment: Hour 20–48

All companies are paid simultaneously. No phased payments.
