Our business brokerage services in Melbourne
We offer various business brokerage services that will help you sell your business without worrying about anything! We have details on each service we offer below.
Business valuations
We have a team of experienced and accredited valuers who can provide you with an accurate business value, regardless of the industry or business size. We use sales data to base our valuations, and they can be used for investments, to navigate any sales, and to plan for your business’s future worry-free.
Selling businesses
We put strategy at the heart of your business selling process to ensure you get what your business is worth. We start by assessing its value and offering any advice that could help you increase its value before moving on to detailed market research to understand your audience better. We will market and promote the sale of your business, attracting the best potential buyers while protecting your confidential information.
Buyer screening & representation
We also screen any potential buyers, acting on your behalf to ensure they are suitable. We won’t let your business fall into the wrong hands or push sales forward when the buyer is unsuitable, keeping you and your business safe.
Negotiation facilitation
We also offer negotiation facilitation, where we will help you negotiate private sales where needed. We can also help you negotiate a fairer price on a business if the one you want to buy is priced a little high. Our brokers are experienced negotiators, ensuring that negotiations run smoothly and both parties are happy with the outcome.
Due diligence coordination
We also take on the brunt of the due diligence work, ensuring that any business you buy or sell is suitable. This includes checking its financial history and infrastructure to ensure the business is worth your money. When selling a business, we will do our due diligence on the buyer, too, and make any recommendations for changes to the business that will help the sale move as smoothly as possible.

How long does it take to sell a business in Melbourne?
Yes, we offer business valuations. Our valuations are based on sales-based data rather than opinions, helping you see the true value of your business. When we provide a valuation, we also offer advice on increasing the value and turning your business into an attractive asset. For more information, get in touch with a business valuer in Melbourne.
How long does it take to sell a business in Perth?
Selling your business in Melbourne can take six to nine months. This average does vary depending on your business and its location, too. For a more accurate estimate, get in touch with one of our business brokers.
How do you find buyers for my business?
There are a few ways we find buyers for your business to ensure we attract as many potential buyers as possible. We use our databases filled with potential buyers to market and advertise your business to ensure potential buyers are seeing it in your industry, and we network at any conferences to help attract buyers. We also ask you for any contacts you might have and potential leads to ensure every avenue is explored.
Do I need to share all of my business details with potential buyers?
While you need to share legal documents related to your business with potential buyers, you don’t need to share everything. We recommend providing articles of incorporation, permits, business licences, leases, contracts, and intellectual property registrations to help potential buyers learn more about your business. Non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) are recommended to protect your confidential information while you try to sell the business.
Can I change my mind about selling my business?
Of course! Until the contract is signed, you can change your mind about selling your business or to whom you are selling it. We understand that circumstances can change, or you might need more time to consider your options before selling your business.
How do you maintain confidentiality throughout the process?
We take your confidentiality seriously and ensure all data is stored securely. We ask that you put NDAs in place with any business information you wish to keep private while you advertise the sale of your business.
