FAQs about selling a business in Perth
I want to sell a business in Perth - where do I start?
First of all, congratulations on your decision. The best way to sell your business in Perth is to get in touch with a brokerage today who can help facilitate everything that goes into selling. There’s lots more required than simply posting the business to market and waiting for buyers to approach, so choosing a brokerage that you can trust is often a necessary first step in getting the ball rolling.
Do you provide business valuations?
Yes, Benchmark Business is proud to present our team of highly qualified valuers who strive for excellence in all aspects of buying and selling businesses. Our team of experts use our unique positioning in the industry and real sales evidence to make accurate calculations rather than theories, meaning you can trust our detailed valuation reports more than many other valuations conducted by competitor brokerages.

How long does it take to sell a business in Perth?
How long it takes to sell a business all depends on the condition of the business, whether it’s ready to sell straight away, and what extra work we need to do to get it ready for market. Our expert brokers aim to sell businesses using conventional methods within around 45 days of becoming active in the open market. However, how long it takes to get to market all depends on our communication channels, the condition of the business and market, and what goals you’ve set in regard to price and ideal buyers.
How do you find buyers for my business?
Benchmark Business has been operating as a leading brokerage for 25 years, and during that time we’ve managed to acquire plenty of contacts that make selling businesses a breeze. When you work with us, we’ll use these exclusive channels to get your business where it needs to be – which is right in front of prospective buyers.
Do I need to share every aspect of the business’s details with potential buyers?
Selling a business requires you to provide copies of all legal documents related to the business, including articles of incorporation, business licences, permits, contracts, leases, and intellectual property registrations. Buyers will want to review these documents to make sure the business is in good standing without any legal issues. However, if there are certain aspects of the business’s details that you don’t want to share for any reason, feel free to discuss with us and we’ll see whether confidentiality is acceptable in your circumstance.
What if I decide I don’t want to sell my business after beginning the process?
Buyers are within their rights to withdraw from a business sale during the process, just as your seller can also withdraw should they choose to. If you decide you don’t want to sell anymore, simply tell us and we’ll take the necessary steps to withdraw your business from the market.
How do you maintain confidentiality throughout the process?
We specialise in all types of business, as our extensive team of experts is trained to handle all types of business sale engagements. No matter what your business is, we can help you sell it as efficiently and effectively as possible.
FAQs about buying a business in Perth
What types of businesses do you specialise in when selling?
We specialise in all types of business, as our extensive team of experts is trained to handle all types of business sale engagements. No matter what your business is, we can help you sell it as efficiently and effectively as possible.
How do you determine a fair price for a business?
To determine a fair price, we look at the business’s sales record. By using this data, we can find the value of the business, allowing us to help the owner sell it to other business owners for a fair price without either party being at a disadvantage.
What support do you offer during the buying process?
Benchmark Business prides itself on its customer service, and we’re more than happy to hold your hand every step of the way during the buying process. As soon as we begin working together, we’ll support you throughout each step, giving you real-time updates and consulting you before each decision. You can be as involved as you want, and we’re thrilled with any collaboration you want to participate in throughout the process! The support you’ll receive when working with us is one of the main reasons why you might hire a reputable broker.
How long does it take to buy a business?
There is no set time to buy a business because there are so many moving parts to consider. Depending on how ready the business is and the communication between the seller and buyer, you could be looking at a few weeks to a few months to close the deal on your new business. However, we’ll keep you updated throughout the process to make sure you’re not kept in the dark.
What are the benefits of buying an established business over starting from scratch?
The advantages of buying an established business instead of starting a new one are tenfold:
- You might get their existing customers and business
- Established businesses often come with existing employees
- You can capitalise on the reputation the previous owners built
- Some businesses come with a useful network of contacts
- There should be a business plan and marketing strategy in place
- While starting a new business can be exciting, you won’t get any of these benefits and you might face more challenges as you try and navigate the small business market.
