Company history/background
Offered for sale are 100% of the shares in a profitable, internationally oriented trading company specializing in used and refurbished telecom equipment. The company was founded in 2006 and operates in more than 15 countries in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
Company activities
The company focuses on the international trade of second-hand network and telecom hardware and serves customers domestically and abroad.
The core activity consists of purchasing used smartphones, tablets, and telecom components from major Tier-1 telecom operators and retailers, and reselling them to international B2B customers. The purchasing network—built up over twenty years through direct supplier relationships—forms the company's primary value driver. In the market for used telecom equipment, a high-quality, sorted supply is structurally scarce; a buyer effectively acquires a privileged position in this scarce supply channel.
Unique selling points
The company operates from the Southern Netherlands and supplies business (inter)national customers.
The company's strength lies in its purchasing network: through long-standing relationships with Tier-1 telecom operators — including major Dutch and Belgian providers — the company has structural access to high-quality equipment at competitive purchasing conditions. This network forms the strategic core of the company and has been built up over 20 years of active entrepreneurship.
Other
The company realized a positive net result in every year over the past four years (FY2022–FY2025). Revenue in FY2025 amounted to approximately €1.7 million, showing a growth recovery of +9.9% compared to FY2024. The EBITDA margin historically fluctuated between 5% and 12%, depending on the purchasing composition. As of the acquisition date, there are no interest-bearing debts and a positive net cash position. The forecast for FY2026 shows revenue of approximately €1.8 million and an EBITDA of approximately €110,000, with further margin expansion in the years thereafter.
