Transgate

What Transgate does

Transgate (legal entity: TRANSGATE SA) is a Swiss commercial and professional real estate intermediary headquartered in Anières, Switzerland, operating across five cantons in French-speaking Switzerland (Geneva, Vaud, Valais, Neuchâtel, and Fribourg). Founded in 2009 and employing 11–50 people, the company facilitates the buying and selling of businesses, fonds de commerce (with or without murs), and commercial premises (murs commerciaux) for entrepreneurs, business owners, and commercial property investors. It also offers professional property valuation services and a bundled legal, fiscal, and financial support offering through its partner network.

The firm runs a web-based listings platform (built on the la-boite-immo.com white-label infrastructure) that allows users to search and filter properties by canton, type, and sector, alongside a client portal (Espace Personnel / Espace Propriétaire) for property owners and online mortgage calculators. The platform lists transaction values ranging from CHF 42,000 for small take-away establishments to CHF 40,000,000 for premium hotel properties. Marketing is conducted primarily through the company website, email/newsletter, and direct contact with regional agency directors.

Transgate generates revenue through transaction-based brokerage commissions on commercial and professional real estate deals, with a sales-led go-to-market model executed through regional agency offices. The company also offers a franchise/partnership model that invites entrepreneurs to establish their own regional agency under the Transgate brand, signaling a distributed-expansion strategy. No external investors, parent company, or acquisitions are disclosed; the company operates as an independent Swiss Société Anonyme.

Others

• ImmoScout24 Switzerland: Major Swiss property listing platform operated by SMG Swiss Marketplace Group. Comparable as an enabling/aggregator layer where Transgate's listings are also surfaced, representing both a distribution channel and a potential disintermediation risk.

Direct peers

• SPG Intercity: Swiss commercial real estate firm active across multiple cantons, focused on office, retail, and investment properties. Comparable as a regional intermediary competing for the same Swiss commercial property mandates.
• Walde & Partner: Swiss real estate firm with multi-canton coverage offering brokerage and advisory services. Comparable as a long-established Swiss intermediary with similar regional and SME commercial focus.
• Naef Immobilier & Promotion: Swiss commercial and residential real estate intermediary with multi-canton presence and a similar full-service broker/advisory model. Most directly comparable as a Swiss-rooted brokerage serving SME and commercial property transactions.
• Brolliet Swiss Real Estate: Geneva-based Swiss real estate intermediary offering sales, rental, and advisory services. Comparable as a Romandy-headquartered peer targeting similar commercial and professional property buyers and sellers.

Broad incumbents

• CBRE Switzerland: Global commercial real estate services firm active in Switzerland, providing brokerage, valuation, and advisory. Comparable as an incumbent competing for the same Swiss commercial property mandates from a much larger institutional platform.
• Engel & Völkers Commercial Switzerland: International real estate brand with Swiss commercial brokerage operations. Comparable as a brand-led incumbent with a franchise/network model overlapping Transgate's regional intermediary positioning.
• JLL Switzerland (Jones Lang LaSalle): Global commercial real estate services firm with established Swiss operations covering investment sales, advisory, and brokerage. Comparable as a broader incumbent operating in the same Swiss commercial property intermediation market, but at significantly larger scale and broader mandate.
• Cushman & Wakefield Switzerland: International commercial real estate services firm with Swiss operations providing brokerage and advisory. Comparable as an incumbent offering overlapping capabilities in the Swiss commercial property intermediation market.

Regional players

• Homegate: Switzerland's leading property listing platform. Comparable as a regional player whose marketplace competes for buyer-side attention in Swiss real estate, though primarily residential rather than the commercial-and-business-transmission focus of Transgate.
