Questions owners usually ask first

Will my staff and customers find out? Only if you want them to. We can run the sale quietly to vetted buyers who sign an NDA first. Read what's in an Information Memorandum, and why buyers sign an NDA.

What will buyers look at? Your profit and how dependable it is, how much of it relies on you, the lease, the equipment and the team. Getting these in order before you list makes a real difference. See preparing your business for sale.

Can I sell the building too? Yes. If you own the freehold, you can sell it with the business, sell it separately, or keep it and become the landlord. More on business plus freehold.

How long does it take? It depends on the business and the buyer pool, so I'll give you an honest view once I understand yours.

Not ready yet?

Plenty of owners start a year or two before they sell. The Business Exit Readiness Game Plan helps you score where you're at and work through a 12-month plan.

When you're ready, call me on 0438 737 512 or email [email protected]. More about how I work on the business broker Townsville page.
