Are you ready to sell your business in Melbourne? Or wondering what it might be worth?
Then contact BPA Business Brokers.
We have been selling businesses across various industries in Victoria since 1999. We help owners set a realistic price for purchase, reach potential buyers and manage the sale through to settlement.
A great place to start is with a free, no-obligation appraisal. We will look at your figures, business assets, lease and industry. Then recommend a realistic price range.
Please call (03) 9485 4488 to arrange a conversation with our experienced team. Here’s more about BPA Business Brokers Melbourne.
As expert business brokers, we excel at finding the right asking price. This is important because setting an ambitious figure, for instance, may discourage buyers. However, too low a one may leave value on the table.
When performing our business valuation, we look at several factors, including:
Before listing businesses for sale, we explain to owners how those details affect the price range. If something may concern buyers, such as a short lease or uneven earnings, we will discuss it with you.
Most people who run their own business want to decide when staff, customers, suppliers and competitors hear about a sale. As part of the services we provide, we can advertise a business without naming it or using photographs that identify it.
In addition, we ensure that interested buyers must sign a confidentiality agreement before receiving sensitive business details. That gives you as the business owner more control over who sees your figures, while we look for qualified buyers.
Prospective buyers will always be interested to know about your accounts, lease, staff, assets and how much the business depends on you. Thanks to our extensive experience, we can offer advice on which questions are most worth addressing before the listing goes live. Your accountant and solicitor can advise on financial and legal matters.
When marketing your business ownership, we prepare a listing for BPA’s website and all major industry websites. We also share the opportunity with relevant buyers in our network.
When we find buyers who express an interest, we do our due diligence. This involves speaking with them about their plans for your business, as well as their funding and experience.
Negotiation is a very important part of any business sale. Especially if you want to be profitable. We manage all offers and counter-offers. Then guide you and your advisers through the due diligence involved in the contract, deposit, lease assignment and handover stages.
Many business buyers begin by browsing listings online. That is why we ensure our clients’ listings answer their early questions about type of business, trading hours, rent and asking price, without giving away confidential information.
We write your listing for those buyers and respond to enquiries as they arrive. To gain an idea of how opportunities are presented, please review the businesses we currently have listed.
If you are interested in selling your business, please call our office on (03) 9485 4488. Alternatively, email reception@bpabrokers.com.au or visit us between 9 am and 5 pm on weekdays at 181–187 Plenty Road, Preston.

The best way to sell a business is to use a professional broker like BPA who knows what it takes to make a business sell. They will help you set a price, market your business, find and qualify buyers and manage negotiations with confidence.
You may have tax to pay if you sell your business. Your accountant can advise what this might be and if you are able to use small business capital gains tax concessions.
