Our business brokerage services in Sydney
Our business brokerage services are here to provide you with personalised guidance when buying and selling in Sydney. These include:
Business valuations
Benchmark prides itself on our team of expert valuers who have unique industry knowledge that can create accurate projections rather than ideological theories. They’ll use sales evidence too, backing their calculations so you don’t have to worry about their validity. Business valuations are crucial for buying and selling businesses, making this an essential service and step in your journey.
Selling businesses
We will help you sell your business from start to finish, holding your hand every step of the way from initial consultation to final closure. We’ll assist with, or even take the reins in, assessing the business, completing detailed market research, creating marketing campaigns, and much more to help you find the perfect buyer.
Buyer screening & representation
If you view your business as your personal achievement, you might have a few conditions on who you want to sell it to. For this reason, you have our word that we screen all of our buyers to make sure your business is in good hands. We also screen sellers to make sure every business we help sell is the best, so no matter what we can do for you today, you can rest assured that we’ve done our due diligence.
Negotiation facilitation
Negotiating a price can be difficult, especially when you’ve never done it before. That’s why we can help during this process, making sure you get the perfect price whether you’re buying or selling. We’ll work with you to negotiate your sale and guide you through the process, using market research to find the right, achievable price you’d be happy to pay.
Due diligence coordination
Due diligence is essential when buying or selling a business, but we’ve got this covered for you, too. We’ll review a business’s financial history, infrastructure, policies, and more to ensure it’s in the best position for your transaction. We’ll also conduct due diligence on our buyers and sellers to prevent risks and future issues from appearing later in the transaction.
Why choose Benchmark as your business broker in Sydney?
As an award-winning brokerage, we believe that there are many reasons why you should choose Benchmark as your Sydney-based business broker:
Australia’s most awarded business brokerage
We are Australia’s most awarded business brokerage, so we must be doing something right! With so many accolades to lift us up and keep us performing at our absolute best, you can trust that we’re the right team to have in your corner. Our expert knowledge and unique position in the industry are just some of the reasons why we offer personalised services, unlike the competition.
Australia’s only national business brokerage
We are also Australia’s only national business brokerage, which means we offer national coverage while still maintaining an impressive amount of local knowledge. Other brokerages often only offer one or the other, so by choosing to work with Benchmark you’re getting two for the price of one. With us, you’ll have the benefit of maximum reach while still tailoring your final decisions to Sydney rather than more widespread Australia.
Specialist business brokers
We are specialist business brokers, meaning no matter what you want to get out of our collaboration, we have a specialist who can help you. Our wider team is full of amazing specialties that you’d usually have to outsource when working with the competition, but with Benchmark, we can offer them all in one place.
A proven process
Not to blow our own trumpets too much, but Benchmark offers a proven process that’s been perfected over 25 years. During this time we’ve successfully helped facilitate over 5,000 business transactions, ending with 5,000 happy customers who have found success in our streamlined process.
Confidentiality and confidence
Buying or selling a business can be a daunting experience, but with us by your side, you can be sure that at least one of us is confident that we’re going to get the best deal. Even when you’re not feeling so sure about the deal, we’ll be there to hold you up and carry you through from start to finish. We’re also committed to keeping your data confidential, so you don’t have to worry about anyone knowing the details of your transaction unless you want them to.
Industry-dedicated team of business brokers in Sydney
Our team of professionals are undeniably committed and dedicated to getting you the best out of your business transactions. When you win, we all win – so if you want to work with someone who has your best interests at heart, then look no further than our brokerage in Sydney!
How do specialist business brokers help sell Sydney-based businesses
- Initial consultation: Our initial conversation will be used to learn more about you, your goals, and what you’re hoping to achieve from working with us, which lets us know exactly what we can offer you going forward.
- Business valuation and market analysis: One of our experts will value the business and its current market, using sales evidence and their knowledge of the market, to give you a clear picture of how attainable your goals are.
- Prepare for business sale: Once you’re happy with the valuation, we’ll take the necessary steps to prepare your business for sale, including anything that will attract more buyers.
- Marketing the business: Our team will then begin creating a marketing plan, drawing up the most effective strategy before implementing it and getting the business seen by as many potential buyers as possible.
- Screening buyers: Benchmark screens all buyers to make sure there are no time-wasters or high-risk prospective buyers in our selection pool.
- Negotiation and deal structuring: Once interest has been generated around the business, we’ll start negotiations and work with you to find the best deal structure depending on how you want to be paid.
- Due diligence: We don’t want any risks harming the future of our sale at this point, so our team will conduct due diligence to make sure everyone’s happy with the business, buyers, sellers, and more.
- Closing the deal: Now that everyone’s happy with the outcome and looking forward to the future, it’s time to sign along the dotted line and close the deal!

FAQs about selling a business in Sydney
How do I go about selling a business in Sydney?
So, you’ve decided to sell a business – congratulations! The best and easiest way to sell your business in Sydney is to find a brokerage who can help you from start to finish. Selling a business can be much more difficult than you might first anticipate, so finding a trusted brokerage is often an essential first step in beginning the process.
Do you also offer business valuations?
Yes, Benchmark offers business valuations, so you don’t have to outsource these before working with us. Our team of experts uses sales-based data to ensure our valuations are accurate and based on evidence-backed predictions rather than theories. We also use our unique positioning in the market to provide you with as much guidance as possible to help you attain the best price for your business.
For more information get in touch with a business valuer in Sydney.
How long will it take to sell my business in Sydney?
The length of time it takes to sell your business depends on a number of factors, including the condition of your business and whether it’s ready to take to market straight away. Our experts have noted that they can sell a business using conventional methods within 45 days once it becomes available on the open market. However, depending on the communication between buyer, seller and brokers, the condition of the business and market, and your goals, we aim to finalise sales in as little as six months from start to finish.
How do you find buyers for my business?
Our position in the market and history of effective transactions means that we’ve built up quite an impressive reputation and database of clients. We’ll use our national reach to spread your business listing far and wide, using our proven market strategies to garner as much interest in your sale as possible. Thanks to our network, we can look for prospective buyers from all over Australia instead of just Sydney, instantly increasing the chances of a quick and lucrative sale.
Do I need to share all of my business details with potential buyers?
Selling a business requires a lot of information from the current owner, so you should expect to provide copies of all legal documents regarding the business to the potential buyer. These include articles of incorporation, business plans and licences, permits, contracts, leases, and intellectual property registrations. These count towards things buyers need to know before committing to a transaction. However, if there’s information you don’t necessarily want buyers to see, we can talk about options for this. NDAs are common in business transactions to keep your confidentiality without failing to disclose vital information.
What if I decide not to sell my business after starting the process?
Yes, you’re well within your rights to change your mind at any point during the selling process. We’ll handle everything for you in regards to the seller, so whether you want to pause the transaction to think over your options or cancel it entirely, all you have to do is notify us. Sellers are within their rights to pull out, too.
How do you maintain confidentiality throughout the process?
We take our clients’ confidentiality very seriously, so you can trust that working with us means your data won’t be shared with anyone. We store all of your information securely and only for the time we need it, and we’re happy to utilise NDAs to make sure your privacy remains intact should you request them. Genuine buyers shouldn’t have any issues with this, so keeping your confidential information private can help us determine who is the best buyer for your business.
FAQs about buying a business in Sydney
What types of businesses do you specialise in?
We don’t limit ourselves to only a handful of businesses to specialise in. Our team of experts is so extensive that we can confidently specialise in all types of business sale engagements. From automotive to franchises, medical to hair and beauty, we handle all industries that you might be looking for.
How do you find the best, fair price for a business?
We utilise our team of expert valuers to get an accurate price estimation of any business in Sydney, then compare this to the business’s sales and current market condition. We’ll use all of these factors to determine what the future looks like for the business and how this should be reflected in its price. We’ll also need to factor in your budget and the seller’s goal price to come to a fair in-between.
What support can I expect from you during the buying process?
Support is where we shine. Along with offering expert knowledge and insight into the entire buying process, we’ll also hold your hand during every step. We can be as involved as you wish, ranging from offering advice only when it’s needed to taking the reins on most steps to make sure you’re confident with the process. You’ll also be able to contact one of our professionals at all times, so you never have to feel in the dark about anything.
How long does it take to buy a business?
There’s no set time to buy a business in Sydney as there are so many factors at play. We don’t want to sell you a dream or give you an unrealistic timeline, so once we begin working together we’ll be able to provide more insight into the time we’re looking at. Don’t worry though, we’ll keep you updated every step of the way.
What are the benefits of buying an established business over starting from scratch?
There are plenty of benefits to buying an established business instead of starting a new one, including:
- You should be able to carry their existing customer and client base over instead of having to build your own from scratch
- The business might come with employees who are already trained to save you time and money
- There should be an existing business and marketing plan in place that you can adopt or change over time
- You can capitalise on the reputation the previous owners built instead of having to start from scratch
Starting a new business might be appealing as you’ll be able to make all the decisions from the get-go, many established businesses have better odds of thriving within a shorter space of time than start-up companies.
