Frequently asked questions

How long does a business sale usually take?

Most campaigns run 7–10 months end-to-end, depending on readiness, buyer complexity and diligence scope. 

What should I prepare before we start?

Clean historicals, a 3-way forecast, key contracts, IP assignments and a practical handover plan are all helpful, but don't worry if you don't have these ready. Our team can help guide you through the process and prepare documents on your behalf. Start with 10 tips for preparing your business to sell.

How do you find the right buyers for a Victorian company?

We map strategic and financial acquirers in Victoria, interstate and offshore, then run a confidential sale process with staged disclosures through a secure data room.

How is value determined?

We utilise multiples, Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) and precedent deals, then test buyer synergies and risks (concentration, capex, working capital). For a more in-depth explanation, read more about the 3 common valuation methods.

How do you protect confidentiality?

We start with mutual NDAs, anonymised teasers and tiered data-room permissions. Communications are sequenced around staff, suppliers and landlords to avoid leaks. See 5 ways to manage confidentiality.

Can you help assemble the deal team?

Yes. We are happy to coordinate with your CFO, tax adviser and legal counsel, and can introduce trusted specialists.
