Step 7

Obtaining Finance

Don’t just start the process on your own; consult your financial advisor and our business brokers to assist in sourcing finance.

The Purchase Agreement

You must review the purchase agreement prepared by the Broker with the assistance of a lawyer. Check the final price mentioned in the agreement and the settlement document. Assess all the other data such as contracts, leases, and licenses. After satisfaction, finalize the deal and close the sale.

Step 8

Step 9

Post-Closing Process

The broker will assist you in the post-closing process wherein all the business items that are required to assume operations are handed over to the new owner. The outgoing owner needs to inform all the vendors, employees and contract holders about the new owner and cease all operations as the owner of the entity.

Begin Your Entrepreneurial Journey

Once all the formalities are over, you become the owner of the business and assume its operations. The settling in phase can take some time but eventually, you will get the flow and can start working towards building a successful business guided by the plans and strategies formulated by the outgoing owner.

Buyer of an Auto Repair Business

We were getting old and wanted to enjoy our retired life away from the noise of the trading community. This is when we decided to hire business brokers in Australia for selling our business. Bill and Susan from Smart Business Sales were quick to get on our case and lent their undivided attention and support. They helped in showcasing our business in the best possible manner to the potential buyers. We started getting enquiries in a matter of weeks and were advised on picking a qualified and willing buyer. They facilitated the deal and we were fully satisfied with the end results. Thanks to your team, we are making the most of our retired life.

John Bamonte

Seller of Water Pumps Business

I wanted to invest in a venture and needed unconditional support as it was my first big purchase. I got just the same from the team of Smart Business Sales. They identified the best business for me keeping in mind my industry experience and needs. They worked with me every day to go through the appraisal process and gave me a detailed report of everything. They carried out the negotiations smoothly, and in just two months I became the proud owner of my own business. I wish to thank your remarkable and brilliant team of brokers who stood by my side throughout the process.
