Take advantage of over 40 years experience in business sales

Sell a Business

Our team of highly successful Business Brokers have been selling businesses across QLD and Northern NSW since 2004.

When you combine over 40 years experience, with our number one Google ranking, this offers us a huge market advantage to attract the best sellers and buyers, and offers us more to work with to bring the best possible results.

An important difference to mention is that we work as a genuine team. We don’t charade as multinationals with one-man bands stationed around Australia. We share information about our buyers and sellers so that we have the best possible chance of selling a business. In fact, most of our businesses are sold involving more than half our team.

Selling a business is not something you would do everyday but is something that we do EVERY DAY. Anyone can advertise their business Online and answer their own enquiries. Our service is suited to business Owner’s who are conscious about protecting their goodwill, confidentiality against staff, suppliers etc, and are too busy running their own business to handle the potentially hundreds of enquiries on their business.

We don’t just advertise a business and sit back waiting for the enquiries to come through – we’re proactive in our approach and work our database and contacts.

Something that very few Owners realise is that we are the only party to a transaction that can speak with all parties directly and can anticipate problems and offer solutions that are acceptable for both parties. You can’t speak directly with the Buyer’s solicitor or the Landlord, Lender or Franchisor about their application but…we can!

NOTE: When deciding on which service suits your circumstance, please consider whether you are able to handle enquiries during the day and consider your experience, language competency, time available, and whether dealing directly with buyers may compromise your confidentiality. We recommend businesses with a Sale Price of less than $1million are best suited to the For Sale by Owner service. Larger businesses should consider using our For Sale by Agent service.

Important Steps to Sell your Business

1. Agree with your Agent on a Listing Sale Price (or the Advertised Sale Price). You should also discuss what price you’re prepared to accept and be prepared to look at lower offers (a low offer does not necessarily reflect how you will finish up!).

2. Collate information ready for a Buyer including financials, leases, plant & equipment list, staffing and so on.

3. Be ready to meet and discuss your business with a Buyer. This means both you and your business must be organised and present well.

4. Be ready to accept an Offer. Discuss with your family what price and terms you’re prepared to accept, line up a solicitor who can work on your file NOW from start to finish, if you plan to travel then line up a Power of Attorney who can sign on your behalf, and if there are potential tax implications then find out now what scenarios we’re working with so that we can structure a deal that will work. Buyers can move on if a deal isn’t struck within a few days!

5. Be ready to Settle. Close off as many sales as you can (stock in trade will only transfer at cost to the Buyer so make sure you profit while you can), organise final electricity and gas readings, organise and sign any transfer documents for leases and rental agreements, and tally up a final statement of accounts for any adjustments to be made at Settlement (e.g. deposits received or payments made in advance).
