FAQs about selling a business in Brisbane
How can I sell a business in Brisbane?
The best way to sell a business in Brisbane is to use a business broker who will help you market your business and bring you plenty of potential buyers looking to take their step into the business world. A business broker takes care of everything for you, making the process as smooth as possible.
Can you provide business valuations?
We offer business valuations for anyone looking to sell their business with us. All of our business valuations are based on your sales data, helping you and potential buyers see your business’s true value. For more information, get in touch with a business valuer in Brisbane to see what your business is worth.
How long does it take to sell a business in Brisbane?
On average, selling a business in Brisbane takes six to nine months, but some businesses are on the market for nearly two years. We do everything in our power to sell your business as quickly as possible without you needing to compromise on your price.
How do you find buyers for my business?
Like other business brokers, we have a database of potential buyers we can use to help find buyers for your business. But unlike other brokers, we have other avenues to explore to bring you as many potential buyers as possible, including networking at conferences and our successful marketing campaigns that attract more buyers to businesses. We will also work with you, using any contacts or leads you might have from previous clients or partners who might be interested in your business.
Do I need to share all of my business details with potential buyers?
No, you don’t need to share all of your business details with potential buyers. We recommend only sharing the legal documents related to your business, like articles of incorporation and any permits or intellectual property registrations. For information that needs to remain confidential, you should put non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) in place to protect your business during its sale.
What if I decide not to sell my business after starting the process?
Providing you haven’t signed the contract with the buyer, it is fine to change your mind! We understand that people change their minds or your circumstances might change, and selling the business is no longer viable. We will handle everything if you change your mind and be ready to assist you again when the time is right to sell your business.
How do you maintain confidentiality throughout the process?
NDAs are the best way to protect your business’s confidentiality during the process. You should also ensure that all of your files and work processes are secure and update them where necessary. We store any of your data securely to reassure you that everything is in our safe hands.
