Acquire the right business at the right price

Benchmark’s specialist business brokers offer clients a Buyers Agency service across Australia.

As Australia’s largest business brokerage we can identify ideal target businesses, evaluate options, and negotiate a price on your behalf. We follow up until the sale is finalised and liaise with related parties during the process, making the transactional process smooth and simple.

In the last 25 years we have been involved in many mandates to act as a Buyer’s Agent and have concluded many successful assignments including roll-ups for LPO’s across Australia in all sectors including road transport, security and childcare.

The benefits of due diligence and avoiding critical mistakes

There is a long list of due diligence criteria to be fulfilled before a buyer’s agent makes recommendations on a purchase and they will also highlight any risks. This, combined with extensive research and experience provides more security in selection of the best business.

Here are some helpful tips when buying a business.

Will this business acquisition benefit you over the long term? Will the acquisition help you to reach long term goals?

Run numbers to ensure you can comfortably manage cashflows, with a contingency plan in place.

Ensure you get the best financing arrangements for your circumstances

Helps identify risk, and minimise risk

Analyse the property tenure arrangements

Physical business inspections are essential risk management tools
Identify and complete a comprehensive checklist
Confirm compliance and strong legal terms and conditions of purchase
Negotiate the best price and terms possible, without undue emotion. Be prepared to pass on the opportunity if the price expectations are unreasonable
Buying businesses can be stressful if your paperwork is not available or well organised

When it comes to finding an outstanding buyer’s agent, there really is no substitute for experience, both in terms of years in the industry and local market knowledge and expertise

If you’re looking to invest in a business but are confused by the array of available market analysis and information, the latest hotspots, and opportunities, having a licensed and experienced professional buyer’s agent guiding you through the search and purchase process will make very good sense.

Buyer’s agents are an invaluable asset when market conditions are competitive and can ensure that the process runs smoothly for you.

By representing only the buyer you are in a unique position to achieve your objectives by managing vendor price expectation and maintaining the relationship integrity between buyer and seller.
