A letter to Australian business owners

I help Australians sell their business for a much higher price with the fastest, simplest changes.

Hey, I'm Liam, and I've got some exciting news.

I've officially got my business broking licence, so I can now sell businesses on behalf of owners in Australia.

It's something I've wanted to do for a while, after so many years helping business owners grow.

What Australian businesses are selling for $1 million-plus in today's market?

One of the biggest things I've learned is that what makes a business valuable to its owner isn't always what makes it valuable to a buyer.

A few simple changes can make a massive difference to what someone will pay.

How much more would a buyer pay for your business?

A buyer pays a multiple of your profit. So every extra dollar of profit gets multiplied on the sale price. Have a play:

Extra profit you find each week$1,000

$100$10,000

The multiple a buyer pays on profit4.5x

1x8x

+$234,000 more a buyer would pay for your business

Just the maths. Every business sells on a different multiple.

Business coaches will promise you millions. That's not what this is.

I'm not going to promise this will make you a millionaire. I'm not a business coach, and this isn't a course.

What I will do is:

go through your numbers and show you what a buyer actually values and pays for,
find the fastest, simplest changes that get you real buyers offering you 6 or 7 figures more than before,
do the work with you, not just tell you what to do,
and when you're ready, find the buyer and sell it for you.

If you need a guarantee, this isn't for you.

Because I'm just starting out, I want to build some early success stories for my website. So I'm helping a handful of business owners find those changes for free, in exchange for a testimonial.

Sound familiar?

You've built a business that works. It's not perfect. Honestly, it's a bit of a working mess, but it's profitable.

You know it's got potential. You're just not quite clear on where. And time's a factor.

If you had to sell tomorrow, say you got injured, it'd be a disaster. Because you know it's not worth what it could be.

Now flip that

Imagine knowing your business will sell for millions. That takes the stress off.

You don't have to save as much in your super.
You can be a bit more spendy now. No counting pennies.
You stop stressing about shares, crypto and property.
You get to be proud. You built something, and it's worth something.

How it works

I look at your numbers, free
I show you what buyers actually value and pay a lot for.
We make the fastest, simplest changes
Prices that haven't gone up in years, supplier and stock costs, jobs AI can do now. I actually do the work with you.
You sell for a much higher price
When you're ready, I find the buyer and sell it for you.

Who I can help

To be upfront, I can't help everyone.

A good fit if

✓your business is in Australia
✓it's profitable (messy is fine)
✓it's a $1 million+ business
✓you'd like to sell in the next 1 to 5 years
✓you take action and trust the process
✓you want the best broker, not the cheapest

Probably not if

✕it doesn't make a profit yet
✕you'd only sell for a crazy offer
✕you're sure it's worth way more than the numbers say
✕you're not keen to change anything
✕you want a business coach or a marketing agency

If you know someone

If you know anyone that's approaching retirement and would like to sell their business, I can help. Send them this page, or fill in the short form at the end.

Anyway, I'm excited about this next chapter and wanted to share it with you. If you see my stuff popping up online, any support would mean a lot!

P.S.

Questions owners ask me

Is it really free?

Yes. Because I'm just starting out, I'm helping a handful of owners find those changes for free, in exchange for a testimonial. If you want my help making the changes, or you want me to sell it, we'll talk about that after.

Who is this for?

Australian owners of a profitable business worth $1 million or more, who'd like to sell in the next 1 to 5 years.

Are you licensed?

Yes. I'm a licensed business broker, so I can sell businesses on behalf of owners in Australia.

Where are you based?

The Sunshine Coast in Queensland. I work with owners all over Australia.

What do you need from me to start?

Just the answers on the form. If it looks like a fit, I'll call you and we'll go from there.

Will my staff or customers find out?

No. It stays between you and me.

How much more could my business sell for?

It depends on your profit and the multiple a buyer pays. Have a play with the slider above to see the maths.

What kind of changes are we talking?

The fastest, simplest ones. Usually prices that haven't gone up in years, what you pay suppliers and for stock, and jobs AI can do now.

My business is a mess. Is it ready?

Messy is fine. If it's profitable, it's a working mess, and that's normal.

I'm not ready to sell yet. Should I still do this?

Yes. The earlier you start, the longer the higher profit has to show up in your numbers before a buyer looks.

Do I have to sell through you?

No. The free review is yours either way.

Isn't this just business coaching?

No. This isn't coaching or a course. I do the work with you, and as a broker I know what buyers actually pay for.
