“From start to finish, Kurt made us feel like our business was the only business he cared about.
He worked with us to really understand our business and how he could best find a suitable buyer. He then ensured we got the best price and walked us through the whole process professionally and diligently.
I would have no hesitation getting Kurt to sell any future businesses I have”
Business Sale Client
“Via Our Broker Kurt In Townsville, we successfully sold our business! We had tried other brokers before but they simply didn’t put in the work required.
The key difference Kurt Brought was a professional valuation, regular communication with us and potential buyers, and the fact that he only takes on as many businesses as he can truly handle. Thanks Kurt and team!”

After that we can help with improving attractiveness to buyers and sale value.
Ideally look for a business that matches your skills and ability, budget and goals to begin with.

Growth or stability over time is ideal, though not always critical if there were understandable circumstances that contributed to a ad year or decline in profits.
There are many different ways to acquire a business, most common though are bank loans, vendor finance, earn-outs. We can help you understand your options.
Due diligence is when you carefully check the business’s records and operations to confirm everything lines up with the information you were given prior to signing the contract.
