Frequently Asked Questions

Before starting a sale, Queensland business owners often ask Nash Advisory what to expect. These answers explain our process and approach to delivering strong results.

How does Nash Advisory value Queensland businesses before a sale?

Valuation is a critical first step. We normalise earnings and benchmark results. Our Brisbane office utilises detailed modelling to establish a defensible range that buyers trust, providing you with a strong platform for negotiations. For more insights, see our article on the 3 common business valuation methods.

What makes Nash Advisory unique compared to others who offer the same services?

Unlike traditional business brokers who focus on small enterprises, Nash Advisory specialises in mid-to-large market companies. Our clients benefit from a structured, director-led process that includes financial modelling, buyer research and global outreach. We don’t list businesses; we run strategic, competitive campaigns. Explore our divestment and mergers & acquisitions services to see how we operate.

Can Nash connect Brisbane owners with investors and equity partners?

Yes. Beyond trade buyers, Nash Advisory works with private equity, family offices and management teams to explore options such as MBOs, MBIs and partial exits. For Queensland business owners, this flexibility is valuable, allowing you to sell a stake, raise growth capital or plan succession.

What happens once a business sale agreement has been signed?

After the signing, Nash Advisory coordinates the final settlement process, including completion of accounts and fund flows, as well as regulatory approvals and staff transitions. We ensure all steps are mapped out clearly so nothing is missed. We liaise with lawyers, financiers, and landlords to complete the handover efficiently.

How does Nash Advisory manage documentation and buyer questions in business sales?

Our team sets up a secure data room and manages all buyer Q&A to ensure accuracy and confidentiality. We help in the preparation of documents buyers expect, financials, contracts, staff summaries, and compliance records, so diligence runs smoothly. We also guide you on sequencing disclosures to reduce risk. For details, see how we maximise the sale of your business with the right documents.

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.
