You’re Not Just Buying a Business – You’re Buying a Future

Even if you’ve worked in the same industry for years, buying a business comes with unique challenges.

We help you ask the right questions, avoid common pitfalls, and move forward with confidence.  You’ll understand:

  • The strength of the business model

  • What you’re actually buying (goodwill, assets, systems, clients)

  • Whether the lease, staff, and setup are sustainable

  • How to structure the purchase to suit your financial goals

  • What the numbers really say about the business

There are plenty of businesses to choose from on Seek, but getting the right one takes time and planning.

Beyond the Books – We Think Strategically

We don’t just look at profit and loss statements. We help you see the whole picture—the story behind the numbers.

Our business buying support includes assisting you with your strategic plan.

We can offer Strategic advice tailored to your goals as you look at your options when buying a business.

Together, let’s review the key financials and risks, and uncover the business potential or potential problems.

It’s essential to get an accountant to review the vendor’s asking price and see if our estimated valuation compared to the asking price stacks up.

We can also assist with finding funding and cash flow planning advice.

If the business looks right to buy, we will also discuss with you setting you up with the proper structure for tax and growth.
