When it comes to selling a business, I know choosing the right broker is one of the most important decisions an owner will make. I enjoy guiding business owners through this complex journey with professionalism, insight, and genuine care for achieving the best possible outcome.

I approach every engagement with a strong focus on five key principles that I know make all the difference:

Confidentiality
Every business and every seller is different — and I tailor my approach to suit your specific needs around privacy. Whether your situation calls for a tightly managed silent process or a more open-market approach, I have the systems and discipline to handle it with discretion and care.

Understanding Your Business
I take the time to understand not just what your business does, but how it works and where its true value lies. My commercial background and experience help me quickly grasp the core drivers of performance — and that insight helps me position your business to attract the right buyers.  

Clear Communication
You should never be left wondering what’s going on. I keep you in the loop with straight, jargon-free communication and I’m always available when you need to talk. At the same time, I know how to engage professionally and credibly with buyers — building trust, answering questions, and keeping things moving.  

Proven Systems and Process
Selling a business isn’t something you leave to chance. I run a proactive, hands-on proven process, backed by proven systems for marketing, buyer screening, managing enquiries, handling confidentiality, and supporting due diligence — all designed to keep things on track and stress to a minimum.  

Negotiation Expertise
Deals often come together (or fall apart) in the negotiation phase. I bring a level head, empathy, and creativity to the table — always looking for solutions that work for both sides, without losing sight of your goals. My aim is to keep conversations constructive and momentum strong, right through to settlement, using proven strategies.

If you’re thinking about selling — or want to explore your options — I’d be happy to have a confidential, no-pressure conversation.
