- Buying or selling a business
Business exit advisor. Get the business ready before the buyer looks.
Sale preparation, exit planning and buyer-side assessment. Getting a business ready to sell is operational work, not paperwork. I do the preparation, then the listing and deal run through Network Infinity.
Selling, or buying.
I work on both sides of transactions, at the strategy, advisory or execution level.
Preparing to sell
- Exit strategy and sale preparation
- Processes mapped and systems cleaned up
- A business that runs without the owner doing everything
- Digital presence and records in order
- A direct handover to Network Infinity for the sale
Assessing a purchase
- Acquisition assessment
- Due diligence assistance
- A valuation perspective from an operator
- Post-acquisition integration
- Operational improvement after the handover
Both sides of a sale.
Advice on selling a business lands differently from someone who has exited one and works inside a brokerage.

What buyers actually look at.
Whether the business runs without the owner. Whether the systems are written down. Whether the numbers, the customers and the online presence hold up when someone checks.
Most of that is fixable in the months before a sale, and almost none of it is fixable in the weeks during one.
The full background: the story.
From first call to market.
The steps for a seller. Buyers follow a similar path, pointed at the business they want to buy.
Intro call
Free, 15 minutes. What you have, what you want from a sale, and when.
Operational assessment
How the business really runs: processes, systems, people, records and the online presence.
Preparation package
A defined scope of work to fix what a buyer would question, agreed up front with clear deliverables.
To market through Network Infinity
When the business is ready, the listing and deal run through Network Infinity, with the preparation already done.
Where each part sits.
Straight answers.
Do you list and sell the business yourself?+
No. I do the preparation and the advisory work. The listing and the deal run through Network Infinity, an Australia-wide brokerage where I am Head of Marketing and General Manager, so the handover is direct.
When should we start preparing?+
Before you want to sell. Preparation is operational work: systems, processes, the numbers and the digital presence. It is far easier done on your timeline than a buyer's.
Can you help us buy a business?+
Yes. Acquisition assessment, due diligence assistance and a valuation perspective, from someone who has built, run and exited businesses. After the purchase, I can help with integration and operational improvement.
Do you work with NDIS businesses?+
Yes. NDIS business sales and acquisitions are a large part of this work. The NDIS business advisory page covers the sector-specific side.
What does it cost?+
Project work has a fixed scope and deliverables agreed up front, with transparent pricing. A single consulting call has no ongoing commitment.
