Business Brokers for Australian SME & Mid-Market Owners

Offer: Complimentary Business Sale & Valuation Readiness Call (20–30 minutes, strictly confidential).

Confidential Business Sales, Acquisitions & Exit Planning Australia-Wide

Selling or acquiring a business between $1M and $50M+ is not a DIY project. Valuation, deal structure, tax, staff, leases, contracts and buyer due diligence all need to be handled properly – and quietly. Wyse Advisory acts as your specialist business broker and M&A adviser, guiding you from early “what is it worth?” discussions through to completion.

Maximise Your Exit, Protect Your Downside

When you appoint Wyse Advisory as your business brokers, you gain:

Commercially driven valuation & deal strategy
Indicative value range based on EBITDA, SDE/PEBITDA, industry multiples and real-world buyer behaviour – not guesswork or pub-talk.
A managed, confidential sale process
Structured marketing using blind profiles, strict NDAs and controlled data room access to protect staff, customers and competitor relationships.
Access to qualified buyers & serious capital
Trade buyers, private investors, management teams and private equity groups actively seeking quality Australian SME/SMB opportunities.
End-to-end transaction management
From early planning and preparation, through marketing, buyer screening, negotiations and due diligence, to legals, completion and handover.
Risk-aware, execution-focused advice
Clear guidance on deal terms, earn-outs, vendor finance, working capital, handover obligations and practical risk mitigation.

While every transaction is different, many quality SME sales run across 6–12 months from mandate to completion. Our role is to keep momentum, navigate issues early and protect your position at the negotiating table.

How Our Business Sale & Acquisition Process Works

1. Discovery & Confidential Consultation

We start with a private discussion about your business, your objectives and your timeframe. You can ask candid questions about valuation, process, fees and market appetite without any obligation.

2. High-Level Valuation & Deal Options

Using your financials (typically 3 years), normalisations and key business drivers, we provide an indicative valuation range and discuss likely deal structures – share vs asset sale, staged exit, earn-out, partial sale, or strategic acquisition.

3. Preparation & Information Memorandum

We help you get “transaction ready” – clarifying normalised earnings, identifying key value drivers, addressing red flags and coordinating documents. A professional Information Memorandum (IM) or deal pack is prepared to present your business credibly to buyers.

4. Targeted Marketing & Buyer Screening

Your opportunity is marketed discreetly through our network, curated databases and selected online channels where appropriate. Buyers are screened for seriousness, funding capacity and strategic fit before any confidential information is released.

5. Due Diligence, Negotiation & Heads of Agreement

We manage the flow of information, coordinate due diligence and help negotiate key commercial terms. Our focus is not just on price, but also structure, risk allocation, timing and certainty of completion.

6. Legals, Completion & Handover

Working alongside your lawyer, accountant and other advisers, we help drive the matter to signed contracts, settlement and a smooth handover. Our role is to keep everyone aligned and maintain deal discipline until the funds clear.

The Current Market: Why Timing & Preparation Matter

Quality SME and mid-market businesses in Australia remain in demand, particularly where:

Earnings (EBITDA / SDE) are stable or growing.
Revenue is recurring or underpinned by strong contracts.
Customer concentration and key-person risk are actively managed.
Financial records and tax compliance are in good order.

Interest rates, financing conditions and buyer appetite do move over time, but well-run businesses with clear numbers and low surprises continue to attract attention. Buyers are increasingly selective; they pay fair value where risk is understood and properly presented – and they discount heavily where it is not.

The question is not just “Is now a good time to sell?”, but rather “Is my business ready to withstand buyer scrutiny and maximise value when I do sell?”

Frequently Asked Questions

How do business brokers get paid?

Most business brokers in Australia work on a success-based fee, usually a percentage of the final sale price, sometimes with a minimum fee and agreed marketing costs. At Wyse Advisory, all fees, inclusions and exclusions are set out in a written engagement so you have full transparency before proceeding.

How is confidentiality managed?

We never disclose your business name or identifying details without your consent. Interested parties sign a tailored Confidentiality Agreement (NDA) and are pre-qualified before seeing sensitive information. Staff, customers and suppliers are only brought into the process when it is necessary and appropriate.

How long does it take to sell a business?

It varies by industry, size and market conditions, but a well-prepared SME often takes 6–12 months from formal engagement to completion. Some transactions complete faster; others take longer if there are complex structures, multiple shareholders or regulatory approvals.

Is my business too small or too large?

We typically work with businesses in the $1M–$50M+ enterprise value range. If you are outside that range, we can still have an initial conversation and, if needed, refer you to a more suitable broker.

What information do I need to provide?

At least 3 years of financial statements and tax returns.
Management accounts / P&L and balance sheet.
Key contracts, leases and customer data.
Details of staff, owners’ roles and any related-party arrangements.
We will guide you through this step-by-step.

Do you only work in NSW and QLD?

We have particular strength in NSW and QLD, but regularly engage with clients and buyers across other Australian states. If your business is based in Australia and fits the SME/mid-market profile, we are open to discussing your situation.
