If it is a well-known company, then there is no need to promote. Although selling a company is a bad sign in business. It could be in a bankrupt state and needs to merge with other companies.

If it is a well-established business, you do not have to worry too much about finding clients, and the workload is normally lighter.

The main benefit is to get some existing customers too. It's very profitable to continue with the already made established businesses.
