Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Business Broker?
A business broker is a professional who assists in the buying and selling of small to medium-sized businesses. Their primary role is to act as an intermediary between the buyer and the seller, helping both parties navigate the complexities of a business transaction. Key functions of a business broker include:
1. Valuation: Helping sellers determine the market value of their business.
2. Marketing: Advertising the business for sale and finding potential buyers.
3. Screening buyers: Evaluating potential buyers’ financials and seriousness.
4. Negotiation: Assisting in price negotiations and other terms of the sale.
5. Facilitation: Ensuring the transaction process runs smoothly, including due diligence and closing. Business brokers typically earn a commission, which is usually a percentage of the sale price.
Why use a Business Broker?
Using a business broker to sell your business can offer several advantages, including:
1. Expertise in Valuation: Business brokers are skilled in determining the market value of your business. They help ensure that your business is priced appropriately to attract buyers without undervaluing it.
2. Confidentiality: A broker helps maintain confidentiality during the sale process. They screen potential buyers and ensure sensitive information is disclosed only to serious, qualified buyers.
3. Access to Buyers: Brokers have networks of buyers, investors, and industry contacts. They can market your business to a wider and more relevant audience, increasing the chances of a successful sale.
4. Time-Saving: Selling a business is time-consuming and requires managing various tasks like marketing, negotiation, and legal procedures. A broker handles much of this, freeing up your time to focus on running your business.
5. Negotiation Expertise: Business brokers are experienced negotiators. They can help you navigate offers, counteroffers, and contract terms to ensure you get the best deal possible.
6. Transaction Management: The process of selling a business involves many steps, including legal and financial documentation. Brokers ensure that the process runs smoothly, reducing the risk of mistakes or delays.
7. Objective Perspective: Selling your business can be an emotional process. A broker provides an objective, professional perspective, helping you make decisions based on facts and market trends, rather than emotions. In short, a business broker helps streamline the process, ensuring you maximize the value of your business while minimising stress and complexity.

Testimonials

What Our Clients Say

Steven Edwards
Director

To whom it may concern

We engaged Nick Standring from ABS Business Sales to sell our Mitre10 Hardware Store on the Gold Coast in Queensland.

We cannot speak highly enough of Nick, his energy was awesome, his ability to screen potential buyers and not waste everyone’s time was perfect.

Nick sold our Business a couple of months after listing at very close to our asking price! The transaction with High stock levels, Serious Lease requirements and Licensee requirements required a large amount of co-operation from all parties and without Nick I don’t believe completion would have been possible! He knows how to help people resolve all their needs with a great positive attitude that is infectious.

We will certainly use Nick again and would recommend him to any potential sellers.

Best regards,

Paul
Pool Leaks

Hi Nick,
I have finally found the time to send you a quick thank you for the help with the purchase of Pool Leaks in March.

We have settled into the business well, things are going smoothly and we are very happy with the purchase.

We appreciate your help in everything you did to ensure we bought the right business for us at the right time.

We chose ABS Business Brokers as our first point of call for our new business search this year. This was based on our previously excellent experience with the sale of our hospitality business in 2022 with Hugo Martin.

Again, our second experience was just as impressive as it was the first time. Your outstanding work ethic, knowledge of the business, and your ability to make the whole process smooth and efficient was second to none.

We always appreciated the quick responses to our e-mails and the quick answering of all our phone calls. The frequent face to face meetings were also much appreciated during the process.

Purchasing a new business was another major long term commitment by us. From our many years of business ownership we knew the stress and workload involved in "going again" was going to be huge. We were however, very relieved this time by the smooth, stress free process of purchasing Pool Leaks and for that I wanted to thank you for everything you did.

We'll be ready to sell and retire by 2030 so I hope you are still there to look after us again!

Thanks Nick.

Mitre 10 Bundall

I moved to Australia late last year to buy a business in Queensland. I enquired about many businesses including Mitre 10 in Gold Coast. Nick Standring was the business broker for the Mitre 10.

I had no contacts in Australia so Nick introduced me to people in his network. I was able to have a great lawyer, accountant and a finance broker because of these introductions. Nick also helped me in meetings with the landlord and real estate for the lease as well as with Mitre 10 head office.

He understood English was my 2nd language gave me support to assist with this.
I was able to settle and now own a large business due to the support I received.
Thank you Nick.

Regards,

Timothy Doust
Seller of Pool Leaks Pty Ltd

Working with Nick Standring from ABS was a constructive, down-to-earth and great experience. The process of selling a business that one has built and takes pride in requires a calm character who can relate to just about any situation. Nick has that quality. His insight into valuations, corporate structures and operations is second to none. Nick was able to adapt to the 'moving goal posts' at every step. We can't recommend him enough.
