Selling a business is a numbers game. You need the right number of potential buyers seeing your listing, and you need the right number on the contract. At Business Brokers Network Australia (BBNA), we deliver both.
BBNA is not just a brokerage; it is Australia’s largest network of professional business brokers. We are a unified force of over 100 licensed brokers operating across 70 strategic office locations nationwide.
When you list with a boutique agency, you get one office working for you. When you list with BBNA, you get an entire national army. Our unique collaborative structure means that a business listed in Queensland is instantly visible to brokers in Victoria, Western Australia, and beyond, tapping into migration trends and cross-border investment capital that smaller firms simply cannot reach.
Whether you are selling a local café, a specialized medical practice, or a major industrial enterprise, BBNA provides the local market expertise you need, backed by the marketing firepower of the country’s most extensive business sales network.
The Network Advantage: 100+ Brokers Working for You
The philosophy behind BBNA is simple: We share knowledge to multiply results.
Most brokerages operate in silos. At BBNA, we operate as a collective. Our main advantage is our nationally distributed database.
Immediate Exposure: As soon as we list your business, every broker in our network is made aware of the opportunity.
Cross-Pollination: A broker in Sydney might have a buyer looking to relocate to the Gold Coast. Through our network, that connection is made instantly.
Team Collaboration: You receive personalized service from your local dedicated broker, while benefiting from a team of 100+ brokers working in the background to find a match.
This structure allows us to cast the widest possible net, reducing your time on market and increasing competitive tension among buyers.
Dual Expertise: Brokers and Valuers
Pricing a business correctly is the difference between a quick sale and a stale listing. Anyone can give you a price based on a P&L statement, but true valuation requires depth.
BBNA is home to Certified Practicing Business Brokers and Registered Business Valuers.
We believe that to work out what a business is worth, you have to walk the floor. You have to see the people, understand the systems, and feel the culture. Our brokers conduct on-site assessments in all states, analyzing operational risks and opportunities that a spreadsheet won't show.
This dual qualification means our appraisals are defensible. We provide:
On-site Business Assessments: A complete operational analysis.
Impartial Advice: We see the mistakes made regularly and help you fix them before you go to market to increase your sale price.
Banker-Ready Data: We prepare information that satisfies not just the buyer, but their bank, ensuring finance is approved and the deal sticks.
Nationwide Reach, Local Knowledge
We are the only network that can truly claim "Business Sales All States." Our footprint covers every corner of the Australian market:
Queensland: 14+ Brokers covering Brisbane and regional hubs.
New South Wales: 8+ Brokers serving Sydney and beyond.
Victoria: 7+ Brokers deeply embedded in the Melbourne market.
Western Australia: Specialized team handling Perth and regional WA.
South Australia, NT & Tasmania: Dedicated local experts.
Whether you are in a capital city or a regional town, we have a local market expert who understands your community, supported by a national infrastructure.
Services for Sellers: Maximizing Your Exit
Getting the best price is about information management. We provide the buyer with the confidence to say "yes."
Strategic Marketing: We target buyers across all states, not just locals.
Business Price Optimization: We advise on how to structure your financials to maximize value.
Transaction Management: We handle the complex negotiations, allowing you to focus on running the business until the day of settlement.
Services for Buyers: Finding Your Perfect Fit
Buying a business is a lifestyle decision. Do you want to work to live, or live to work?
BBNA acts as a National Buyers' Agent, helping you find the business that fits your finances, your family, and your future.
Business Matching: We look beyond the financials to assess compatibility with your skills and goals.
Off-Market Opportunities: Often, we know of businesses that are not publicly advertised but whose owners would sell to the right qualified buyer.
National Search: If you can't find what you want on our website, our 100+ brokers will go out and find it for you.
Industry Specialists Across Australia
Our sheer size means we have specialists for almost every sector. We don't just sell "businesses"; we have experts who understand the specific nuances of:
Hospitality: Restaurants, Bakeries, Hotels, and Entertainment Venues.
Professional Services: Medical Practices, Legal Firms, and RTOs.

Commercial Property: Freehold assets attached to business sales.

BUSINESS CONNECTION INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS BROKERS....
At Business Connection International we make buying and selling businesses that little bit easier. Our well trained staff and years of experience ensure that the often worrisome task of selling a business is accomplished as smoothly as possible.
The Managing Director of Business Connection International is Tony Arena B.A. L.L.B. With more than twenty five years' experience in business broking, Tony is well regarded within the industry.

How much is a business worth?
A business enterprise, like any asset, is worth what a buyer is willing to pay.
Buyers ask countless questions, but they are primarily concerned with a fair return on their total investment. In addition, prospective buyers make many judgments about market position, proprietary know-how, competitive strengths, quality of the assets, growth potential, and risks of the business.
To accurately determine the true worth of a business, the company's accounting reports, prepared primarily for tax purposes, must be restated to reflect the true financial performance of the business.
Business Connection International helps the business owner determine the true value of the business and, most importantly, can help prospective buyers understand the reasons for such value and structure a sale for the maximum benefit of buyer and seller.
Just remember you will get more for your business if...
• You offer to facilitate a smooth changeover of the business
• You co-operate by providing full and frank disclosure about the financial state of the business.
• Your business is fully prepared for sale.

Who Buys Businesses?
For most companies, there are several categories of prospective buyers. The most obvious are other companies in the same business for whom the acquisition would be a logical expansion with potential economies of scale. Consideration should also be given to suppliers and customers of the business.
However, based on our experience in selling thousands of businesses, approximately 75% of prospective buyers are individuals who want to control their own future. A fair number of these will have been retrenched and be fulfilling a lifelong dream of shifting from employment to running their own business. They will consider retail, service, wholesale or manufacturing businesses.
Business Connection International is in continuous contact with all categories of buyers. We utilise effective search procedures to find and screen those who are best qualified to buy.
Business Connection International will handle the entire transaction from the initial introduction of the buyer through settlement, including co-ordination with lawyers, accountants, landlords, leasing companies and other related entities.

Business Sales Australia began operation in December of 2003. Our offices boast many experts in the fields of business and commercial sales. Each has received several brokerage awards for professionalism, unique performance and exemplary client care. The Brokers are ably supported by our administrator who has many years experience in accounting, finance, law, real estate, commercial property management and private enterprise.
A combined total of over 70 years business experience sets the organisation apart from its counterparts. Our Brokers have successfully participated in many large and small business enterprises in their careers to date.
The experience and knowledge within the brokerage have evolved from the Brokers' extensive experiences in business: from very large, to medium and small. Each of the Brokers has owned his/her own company and therefore can proudly state that they have both broad and rich skills which they are eager to share.
Business Sales Australia is committed to providing a professional service to its clients. To this end high standards and well developed and continuing training regimes are in place. Furthermore, support of the highest level is assured with the latest office technologies being at the disposal of Brokers for the benefit of their clients.
The Brokerage has developed its own web site www.businesssalesaustralia.com. We believe the site is of a very high standard, very user friendly and will help to promote the sale of businesses advertised on it. It is also unique in the way it provides a guide for both sellers and buyers who are about to possibly make one of their more daunting decisions in life.
Business Sales Australia supports The Australian Institute of Business Brokers and the REIQ Business Brokers Chapter. We continue to maintain close links with other business brokerages both locally, nationally and internationally.
Selling businesses is not our only purpose. Business Sales Australia has increasingly involved itself with managing the partnering processes required for successful mergers. This is an increasingly important area and we are delighted to have Brokers with the necessary skill and experience to ensure successful outcomes. Their strong links to and vast experience in national and international corporations give the brokerage the capability to merge the interests of complementary businesses, irrespective of where they may be located.
Our team of interactive Brokers, with its broad range of experience, is your guarantee of a satisfying outcome in your dealings with us.
Please feel free to contact us at any time to discuss your requirements in total confidence and privacy.

Meet the Team Behind the Results
Tony Hancock
With more than 25 years of experience across marketing, sales, brand strategy, commercial management, and change leadership, Tony brings senior-level capability to every transaction. His career includes executive roles in multinational organisations, numerous board directorships, and the successful sale of several of his own businesses.
Tony’s ability to blend strategic vision with grounded execution allows him to identify value others might miss — and position your business accordingly for maximum impact in the market.
Paula Hancock
Paula’s entry into business brokerage was personal. After helping manage and grow a business close to her heart for over a decade, she found herself on the seller’s side of the process — and realised how much support, transparency, and empathy business owners need during this time.
That experience shaped her approach as a broker. Today, Paula offers BSBA clients not only operational insight but also a calm, guiding presence throughout the sale process. She understands how emotional this transition can be — and how vital it is to get the details right.
Together, Tony and Paula offer a rare combination of strategic skill and personal understanding — making them a trusted team for sellers across Australia.
