One of the things I enjoy most about what I do is working alongside inspiring entrepreneurs who’ve built truly great businesses.
Just this week, we completed the sale of a well-established and profitable international matchmaking business. While its excellent reputation certainly helped, that alone didn’t secure the deal. What gave the buyer real confidence was its consistent profitability, a solid fee structure providing reliable income, and a strong team — including a general manager who will remain in place to support future growth.
Too often, when I speak with business owners considering a sale, they place significant value on the years of hard work, dedication, and sacrifice they’ve invested. While that commitment is admirable, it doesn’t directly translate into sale value. Buyers are focused on clear fundamentals: growing revenue, increasing profits, and a capable team that can sustain the business beyond the owner’s exit.
If you’re thinking about selling your business, I’m always happy to have an initial, no-obligation conversation. I’ll give you an honest assessment of its current saleability — and in many cases, it’s worth putting a 3–5 year plan in place to maximise value before going to market.
