How long does it take to sell a Queensland business?
Most campaigns take around 7–10 months from planning to settlement. Timelines depend on the buyer's readiness, deal complexity, and the extent of due diligence. Our structured process maintains momentum and helps prevent unnecessary delays.
How does Nash Advisory assist after the sale is complete?
We manage post-sale steps, including settlement reconciliation, fund transfers, and handover planning. Our team also coordinates with your advisers to ensure a smooth transition for both buyer and seller.
