💼 Unlocking Hidden Value: Business Brokerage for Owner-Occupied Real Estate 🏠

🏢 Double the Equity: Selling Your Business and Its Property 💰

Business Brokerage for Owner-Occupied Businesses that Also Own Real Estate

When business owners think about selling, they often overlook one critical element — their real estate. If you own both your company and the property it operates from, you hold a unique asset combination that can dramatically increase your exit value.

At eXp Commercial | Viking Enterprise Team, we specialize in helping entrepreneurs strategically sell or restructure their business and their real estate. Here’s why this dual-asset approach matters:

1️⃣ The Power of Bundled Value

When a business owns its building, buyers see stability and long-term security. Selling both together often attracts premium offers — especially from investors seeking turnkey operations.
By bundling the enterprise and property, you appeal to a broader audience — from private equity firms to owner-operators ready to step in and grow.

2️⃣ Flexible Deal Structuring

Owner-occupied businesses create opportunities for creative deal structures:

·Sell both the business and property together for maximum return.

·Leaseback options for sellers wanting passive income after exiting operations.

·Split transactions — sell the business but retain ownership of the property for steady cash flow.

Each path offers distinct tax and wealth benefits, which our team helps evaluate through our broker-lender advisory model.

3️⃣ Financing Synergy

Buyers can often secure better financing when the business and real estate are sold together. Lenders view these deals as lower risk since the asset supports the income.
At Viking Enterprise Team, we work hand-in-hand with our financing division to arrange SBA 504 or 7(a) loans, bridge capital, or long-term commercial mortgages tailored for these transactions.

4️⃣ Tax & Exit Planning Advantages

Combining a business sale with real estate allows for advanced tax strategies — such as 1031 exchanges, installment sales, and cost segregation. These tools can preserve more capital and lower your effective tax burden upon exit.

5️⃣ Why Representation Matters

This isn’t a simple business sale or property listing — it’s both. You need a brokerage partner who understands financial statements, leases, P&Ls, and cap rates equally well.
Our dual-licensed team at eXp Commercial | Viking Enterprise bridges that gap — connecting business brokerage with commercial real estate to maximize total value.
