Alan Dufty
BUSINESS BROKER

A Little About My Background

Having returned from London where he successfully ran his own company for several years, Alan is enthusiastic about business sales, genuinely wanting to help people with their long term business objectives. Understanding that selling a business is a big decision, he wants to ensure the decision making process is as informed as possible.

Alan’s knowledge covers a broad spectrum of the business market. From engineering and building right through to food & beverage technology, manufacturing and the distribution sectors of the market.

Also, having first concentrated on hospitality when getting into business sales, he now has invaluable knowledge and contacts within the bar, café, restaurant and franchise industry.

Coming from a design engineering background Alan has a no-nonsense, logical thought process but at the same time is a creative problem solver. With a good head for business and marketing, he can assure you of professional and logical advice.

Alan is ambitious, motivated and a real ‘salesperson’. He promises to take the time to get to know you, and engage himself with the finer details of your business, presenting a compelling proposition to prospective buyers.

Being personable, honest and a good communicator - his down-to-earth personality will help make all parties comfortable, and achieve what we are all after at the end of the day - the sale and purchase of a business.

In addition to his interest in business, Alan is a keen traveller and sportsperson – snowboarding in locations all over the world. He enjoys most ocean sports including diving, fishing, surfing and wakeboarding to name just a few.
