Three Things That Actually Matter
When you're buying a business, some factors matter more than others. Here's what we focus on with every client in Queensland and beyond.
Financial Reality
We look at what the business actually makes, not what the seller says it could make. Cash flow, debt obligations, and seasonal variations tell the real story.
Customer Base
A business with three major clients is different from one with three hundred. We help you understand concentration risk and what happens if someone leaves.
Transition Support
Will the current owner stick around for a month or six? Their involvement during handover can make or break your first year as the new operator.
Understanding What You're Paying For
Every business valuation starts with earnings. But it's never just about the multiple. Location matters. Industry trends matter. The condition of equipment and leases matter.
We've seen people overpay for businesses that looked good on paper but had hidden issues with supplier contracts or local market shifts. And we've seen genuine opportunities get passed over because buyers didn't understand the niche.

Due Diligence That Goes Beyond the Numbers
Financial statements only tell part of the story. We look at staff turnover rates, customer satisfaction patterns, and whether the business actually owns what it claims to own.
One client almost bought a cafe in Cairns before we discovered the head chef was planning to leave and take half the recipes with him. Another found out their dream retail space had a lease renewal coming up with terms that could triple the rent.
From First Meeting to Taking Over
The process usually takes between three and six months, depending on the business complexity and how quickly you can get financing sorted.
Initial Assessment
We discuss what you're looking for and review your budget and experience. This helps us focus on realistic opportunities.
Business Search
We identify potential matches and provide initial analysis on each option, including red flags we spot early.
Deep Review
Once you've chosen a business, we conduct thorough due diligence and help negotiate terms that protect your interests.
Handover Plan
We coordinate the transition period and make sure you understand operations before the current owner steps back.
