SELLER QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions About Selling

Clear answers to common questions about preparing, marketing, and selling your NSW business.

We implement strict confidentiality protocols. Initial public marketing is conducted using "blind profiles" that outline general location, industry sector, and financial ranges without identifying your trading name or street address. Before receiving detailed financial statements or business profiles, prospective buyers must register and execute a legally binding Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA).

To provide an accurate appraisal, we typically review the last 2–3 years of Profit & Loss statements, current year-to-date management accounts, current commercial lease terms, an asset/equipment register, and an overview of staffing and operational commitments.

Small to medium businesses in NSW are primarily valued using normalized earnings methodologies—such as Proprietary Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation, and Amortization (PEBITDA) or Seller’s Discretionary Earnings (SDE)—applied against industry-standard multiples, adjusted for lease security, risk profile, and tangible assets.

Our fee structure is completely transparent and agreed upon in writing prior to commencing any work. We operate on standard NSW commercial agency terms with no hidden costs, ensuring alignment of interests throughout the sale campaign.
