Buying a business isn’t just a transaction—it’s a turning-point decision for you and your family. From the first email or phone call, you’ll feel the difference:
Client-first mindset. We don’t see you as “a buyer”; you’re our client, and your goals drive everything we do.
Local roots, real relationships. We live, work, and raise our kids in the South West. Community sport, fund-raisers—even the Saturday Bunnings sausage sizzle—we’re part of it all, and our reputation rides on every deal.
Accountant-level insight. Adrian Seale is a Chartered Accountant (25+ years) and former accounting-firm partner. We filter hard, listing only solid, well-run businesses. Many clients who bought through us later come back to sell—testament to lasting trust.
Confidentiality First. Complete a confidentiality agreement form (grab it from any listing) to protect both you and the seller.
Business Information Pack (B.I.P.). A concise dossier with financials, lease details, staffing, and an owner’s overview – ready for your accountant, lawyer, or bank.
Local knowledge, targeted matches. Tell us what matters (industry, price range, lifestyle), and we’ll shortlist options across Bunbury, Busselton, Dunsborough and surrounds.
We draft a REIWA Agreement to Purchase – custom conditions, no cost to you.
Be ready with:
Purchasing entity (personal, company, trust).
Deposit (typically 5–10 % of price).
Finance window (if required).
Preferred settlement date.
Your settlement agent / conveyancer (ask for our vetted list).
Common clauses we guide you through:
Due-diligence period
Lease assignment or relocation approval
Transition training / handover schedule
On settlement day the seller hands over keys, codes, and a structured handover (usually 1–4 weeks). We give you a post-settlement checklist covering: utilities, EFTPOS, insurance, supplier accounts, website, phone lines, and more – so you can open the doors with confidence on Day 1.
Unlike property, businesses don’t have a public sales register. The fairest benchmark is ROI—expected annual profit ÷ purchase price.
| ROI | Multiple | Example Profit | Indicative Price* |
|---|---|---|---|
| 33⅓ % | 3× | $200 k | ≈ $600 k |
| 50 % | 2× | $150 k | ≈ $300 k |
| 100 % | 1× | $120 k | ≈ $120 k |
*Plant, equipment, and stock are added (or sub-allocated) within that total. We walk you through the numbers line by line so there are no surprises.
