Buying or selling a business isn’t something most people do often.
It comes with pressure, uncertainty and a lot of moving parts.
If you’re not sure where to start or what you actually need, you’re not alone.
We’ll help you understand your position and what to do next.
Future Business Brokers Pty Ltd provides business broker services in Melbourne and across Australia, supporting owners and buyers who want a considered, well-managed approach rather than a rushed transaction.
Most owners haven’t.
You spend years building something, then at some point you start thinking about selling. You may realise, you’re not actually sure how it works.
You might be looking at different brokers, reading different things online and hearing completely different answers.
It can be hard to tell, what actually applies to you.
You can reach out by phone or through our contact page.
At this stage, it’s simply about starting the conversation. You don’t need to have everything prepared or figured out.
We’ll have a short, confidential discussion to understand your situation, what you’re thinking, and what you’re aiming for.
At this stage, we’ll also get a quick sense of the business and whether it makes sense to continue for both parties.
If it does, we’ll continue the conversation and look at things in a bit more detail.
We’ll ask for a short overview of the business.
This gives us a clearer picture of how things are set up and avoids having to make assumptions.
It’s a simple questionnaire and usually takes around 5–10 minutes to complete.
You don’t need to have everything prepared. A rough outline is enough at this stage.
We review everything and come back to you with a clear recommendation on what makes sense from here.
This will usually fall into one of the following:
Your business is in a position where it can go to market without creating unnecessary risk.
We’ll put a proposal in front of you outlining our fees and the initial marketing cost.
Once that’s agreed, we’ll get the agreements in place, prepare the marketing package, and list your business for sale.
From there, it’s about managing the process properly through to completion.
Want to work preparing, positioning and selling good businesses to the right buyers?
We provide a clear view of how your business may be positioned in the market and what drives its value.
This is not just a number. It’s about understanding how buyers are likely to assess the business.
Where a business is not yet ready for sale, we work with you to improve structure, clarity, and transferability before going to market.
This reduces risk and improves how the business is received.
We identify and engage with potential buyers suited to your business, rather than relying solely on passive listings.
This helps improve the quality of conversations and outcomes.
We manage the process of taking your business to market, handling enquiries, buyer interaction, and guiding the deal through to completion.
The focus is on structure, confidentiality, and keeping things moving.
We support the transition phase to ensure a smooth handover between seller and buyer.
This helps maintain continuity and reduces disruption.
If you’re looking to acquire a business, we help you identify opportunities, assess suitability, and navigate the process with a structured approach.
We utilise our strong network of Australian business owners to secure the right business for you.
