What we have already take over
Get to know
The first conversation is about getting to know each other. We tell you our story and you tell us yours. We want to know what moves you and how you run your business. At the end, we'll decide together whether it's the right time to start a process.
Valuation
Once we have started a process, we will take a closer look at your company (facts & figures) and develop a vision for the future together. Once we have reached an agreement, we will send you an initial assessment of your business.
Structure
Once we have agreed on a purchase price and a timeline, we record this in an informal preliminary agreement. This gives both parties negotiating certainty and allows them to start the formal closing process straight away.
Due diligence, contracts
From here, we dive deep into your business. We check your figures & legal situation and get an overview of your operational setup. At the same time, we draw up the purchase agreement for your business and negotiate the terms of the lease with the owners.
Closing
In the final step, we sign the contracts and formalize the transaction. The money will be in your bank account the next day at the latest and the apartments will be integrated into Arbio.
Why Arbio?
Well, we will tell you what wonderful options you have.

The valuation of your company is not just another number for us. We play our cards close to our chest and work according to the principles of transparency and honesty. In every discussion, you will gain a deep insight into our valuation approach and are invited to question our assumptions at any time.
FAQs
How do I know if my vacation apartments are suitable for Arbio?
The most important thing is that you meet the local legal requirements for short-term rentals, your apartments are located in the EU or UK and you have been active with your apartments for at least 12 months. If you are unsure or something doesn't quite fit, we will still be happy to take a closer look at your business.
How do you create a quote for my company?
Our offers are primarily based on your past performance and the future profit potential of your business. But parameters such as your review success on OTA platforms, your direct booking rate and the aesthetics of your apartments also play a role. In the end, the overall package has to be right.
Does it cost anything if you do a valuation for my company?
No, there are no costs and spendings involved in the entire sales process, as all fees and expenses are covered by Arbio during the valuation.
How long will I remain involved after a sale?
After the integration is complete, we take over the management of your business. During the integration phase, we work together to get a good understanding of how to continue running your business, but this usually lasts no longer than a few days.
I am a real estate owner. Do you want to buy my properties?
No, we do not buy real estate, but only the operating company or the assets required for operation. As part of the acquisition, we conclude long-term rental agreements with you.
I am a tenant. Do I have to own the apartments you take over?
No, you don't have to be the owner of the property. In the event of a takeover, we will enter into your rental agreements or conclude a new one with the owner.
I'm not quite sure whether my apartments meet the legal requirements for short-term rentals. How do I find out?
The rules and laws for vacation rental businesses are not always clear. If you're not sure, just get in touch with us. We can give you an assessment after an initial consultation.
What happens to my accounts? What if I also have a website?
We not only take over your Online Travel Agency (OTA) accounts and your website, but also take care of their seamless integration.
How long does the process take?
Arbio successfully completes the sales process within an average period of 4 to 8 weeks. This optimal time frame takes into account the efficient handling of the transaction, the individual requirements of all parties involved and the careful management of every step in the sales process.
