We helped Territory Surgical Supplies achieve a significant sale multiple, well above traditional multiples in this sector.
The owners of Territory Surgical Supplies (TSS) were looking to retire and turned to Nash Advisory to sell their business. We researched the Australian medical supplies industry and capitalised on its high-growth potential, and found a number of active, interested parties within the sector.
We sourced the right buyer using our extensive list of local and international contacts and ensured there were no earn-out issues in the final sale.

The regulatory environment in the Northern Territory differs considerably from the rest of Australia, so they were concerned about how to best position the business for sale. The owners of Territory Surgical Supplies wished to retire and were struggling to manage the business's growth.
With the business growing rapidly, deploying the relevant IT systems and financial reporting was becoming cumbersome. Likewise, existing contracts with local healthcare providers were creating novation issues.
We worked through a comprehensive list of tasks to get Territory Surgical Supplies an outstanding sale outcome. From researching the industry landscape to identifying the right buyer, we were able to get an outstanding result for TSS.
We thoroughly researched the Australian medical supplies industry to find out where buyers' interest lay and what type of businesses attracted the most activity. We familiarised ourselves with the Northern Territory's regulatory environment and articulated its core characteristics in an Information Memorandum for prospective buyers, highlighting key findings such as that gross spending per capita in the Northern Territory is 25 per cent more than in other states.
Before circulating information to prospective buyers, we carefully evaluated their profiles to establish if they had the financial capacity to acquire Territory Surgical Supplies. From this research, we had 19 interested parties, but we were required to knock out 10 from the process, due to lack of funding capacity.
From here, we were able to identify four companies willing and able to submit non-binding indicative offers for the business. The outcome of our methodical process was that we were able to drive the price considerably and one of the companies presented an offer that won them exclusivity.
Since TSS had a number of existing contracts with local hospitals and healthcare providers, we also performed due diligence on these contracts and assisted the buyer with gaining comfort around sustaining and nurturing these lucrative contracts and relationships.
At the point of settlement, all aspects of novation were resolved and the majority of contracts remained binding, despite the change in ownership.
