All Agents and Brokers in QLD
The traditional business brokerage model is broken. High commissions, slow processes, and a lack of transparency have left business owners frustrated for too long. Bonza Business & Franchise Sales was built to fix it.
Selling your business is one of the most significant financial milestones of your life. It shouldn't cost you a fortune in fees, nor should it drag on for months without communication. At Bonza, we have revolutionized the industry by combining expert human brokers with advanced sales technology to deliver Australia’s most efficient sales process.
We are Australia’s leading small business sales specialists, averaging one business sold every 1.6 days.
Our mission is simple: to help you sell your business faster, better, and smarter, while ensuring you keep more of your hard-earned money. With a transparent 4% commission rate (significantly lower than the industry standard of 8-10%) and a full-service approach, we provide the premium results you deserve without the premium price tag.
If you are ready to sell with confidence, clarity, and control, welcome to the Bonza advantage.
Technology-Driven Speed and Efficiency
In a digital world, speed matters. Buyers are online 24/7, and they expect instant responses. Traditional brokers often miss these opportunities due to manual processes and slow follow-up.
Bonza operates differently. We are a technology-driven brokerage.
Our proprietary digital platform works around the clock to ensure no opportunity is missed. From the moment a buyer enquires, our rapid response system kicks in, engaging them instantly.
Active Buyer Enquiries: We generate, filter, and qualify over 763 enquiries per week.
Rapid Response: Buyers receive immediate feedback and information, keeping momentum high.
Smart Matching: Our system matches your business with qualified buyers from our extensive database who are actively looking for businesses like yours.
This efficiency translates directly to results. We average 3.2 successful sales every week. While others are still playing phone tag, we are moving your deal forward.
The 4% Commission Advantage
For years, the Directors of Bonza watched business owners struggle with a painful dilemma: try to sell privately and risk failure, or hire a broker and lose a massive chunk of the sale price to commissions.
We believe you shouldn't have to choose between professional service and a fair return.
We charge a flat 4% commission + GST. (Minimum fees apply).
Compared to the 8-10% typically charged by competitors, this puts thousands—often tens of thousands—of dollars back in your pocket. This is your equity, your hard work, and your retirement fund. We believe you should keep it.
Despite the lower fee, there is absolutely no compromise on service. You receive a full broker service, including negotiation, documentation, and settlement support. It is simply a smarter, fairer way to do business.
Confidence in Confidentiality
One of the biggest fears when selling a business is the rumour mill. You don’t want staff, competitors, or customers to know you are selling until the deal is done.
Bonza provides Confidence in Confidentiality.
We utilize a state-of-the-art two-step confidentiality check. We do not just hand out your sensitive financial data to anyone with an email address. We filter our 100+ daily enquiries to weed out the "tyre kickers" and competitors. You have the ability to confirm the name of every buyer before they access your detailed business profile.
This rigorous screening process ensures that you are only dealing with genuine, qualified prospects who have the intent and capacity to buy.
Maximum Exposure, Minimum Hassle
You cannot sell a secret. To get the best price, your business needs to be seen by the widest possible audience.
Bonza delivers premium listing exposure across Australia’s top business-for-sale websites. We don't just list you on one site; we blanket the market. Your business is showcased on over 10 top platforms, ensuring that wherever buyers are looking, they find you.
But we don't just rely on passive advertising. Our team of expert brokers actively works to market your business. We create professional, compelling business profiles that highlight your strengths and potential. We handle the marketing strategy, the buyer questions, and the follow-up, so you can focus on what matters most: keeping your business profitable during the sale.
Why Sell Now? The Power of Control.
A lot of business owners think, "Things are going well. Why would I sell now?" The answer is simple: That is exactly when you should sell.
When your business is performing, you are in the driver's seat. You attract serious offers and hold the negotiating power. Selling is a process, not an overnight event. By going to market when you are in control, you create options, not obligations.
Hanging on too long often leads to burnout, declining revenue, and a lower sale price. Whether you are looking to retire, start a new venture, or simply take a break, selling the right way means a clean break on your terms.
A Team of Real Experts
Behind our advanced technology is a team of real, experienced humans.
Bonza is led by a team with over 40 years of combined experience in business sales. We have helped over 700 clients successfully exit their businesses. We understand the emotional weight of selling. We know how it feels to be at a crossroads, unsure of the next step.
We are here to guide you. From the initial valuation to the final handshake, you are supported by a dedicated team of specialists. We provide:
Real-time sales updates: You are never left in the dark.
Transparent processes: You always know where the deal stands.
Expert negotiation: We fight for your price.
The Bonza Guarantee
We are so confident in our process that we offer something rare in our industry: Australia's Exclusive 90-Day Sale Guarantee.
We back our performance because we know our system works. We are 5-star rated business brokers who are committed to changing the way Australian small businesses are sold.
Don't waste time. Don't waste money. Join the hundreds of Australian business owners who have sold faster, better, and smarter with Bonza.

BRANSON BROWN ASSOCIATES offers an entrepreneurial business sales service. Typically we work with people who have built a solid business over time. They generally have not planned an exit strategy and have not formulated a divestment plan. Businesses range from $4m - $20m (AUS).
Our first task is to obtain your brief, which covers your objectives, possible acquirers, and type of input you are prepared to provide. This may include defining your continued participation in the company post acquisition, usually for a defined period. You may stress that you wish to make an immediate departure.
From your brief we prepare an Information Memorandum and with our business advisory partners, work with you to provide sufficient detail for interested parties to make a non binding indicative offer. The entire process will be outlined to you once the brief is obtained.
The most important point we impress on our clients is the time frame. Divestment of a business is not usually a quick process. Actions may need to be taken along the way to place the business in a more saleable position. This can include management structure or, adding roles to make the business function in a corporate environment. Divestments of the business we accept for sale are normally made to publically listed Companies or Private Equity clients. Due diligence with these groups is a thorough and exhaustive process. We can help you through these procedures.
Fees are dependent on the assignment. An up front charge following the brief and acceptance of our terms covers producing the INFORMATION MEMORANDUM, liaising with financial institutions, assembling possible buyers and devising a strategy consistent with your requirements. A periodic charge may be levied depending on the assignment. Upon settlement a success fee which covers the bulk of the charges is paid and any periodic fees are deducted from this amount.
Please contact us to examine your particular circumstance. We can explain the time line, charges and other issues you may encounter such as, advising staff, clients and suppliers if the business is on the market.
There is no charge for an initial consultation to assess your circumstances. This will give us opportunity to determine if we may be of assistance and if the service we offer suits your needs.

In the fast-moving world of commercial property and business sales, history matters. But the ability to adapt matters even more. At Bromley Real Estate, we stand at the crossroad of both. We are the evolution of South East Queensland’s most decorated commercial team, bringing over 50 years of heritage into a bold new era.
Deciding to sell your business or commercial asset is one of the most significant strategic moves you will make. It represents the realization of your hard work, the capitalization of your risk, and the foundation of your next chapter. To navigate this complex landscape, you do not just need an agent; you need a partner with the weight of history behind them and a clear vision of the future ahead.
Bromley Real Estate is owned and operated locally by Ben Armstrong and David Sheppard. While our name is fresh, our roots run deeper than almost any other agency in the region. We are the result of a deliberate evolution—a rebranding of a powerhouse team that has dominated the market for decades.
With a team of 32 dedicated professionals and a leadership duo possessing over 75 years of combined experience, Bromley Real Estate is not just a participant in the Greater Brisbane market; we are its heartbeat. We are where everything connects.
Led by Vision, Defined by Experience
The strength of a brokerage is defined by the caliber of its leaders. When you engage Bromley Real Estate, you are securing the expertise of two of the industry's most respected figures.
Ben Armstrong and David Sheppard have spent their careers shaping the commercial property landscape of South East Queensland. Their partnership is built on a shared commitment to excellence and a deep understanding of the mechanics of high-value transactions.
However, our story began long before the current leadership took the helm. Our journey in real estate dates back to the 1970s with our founding director and current Chairman, Kerry Armstrong.
Kerry’s legacy is legendary. From becoming Sales Manager at Curry & Mooney Real Estate in 1977—where he was responsible for developing iconic local landmarks like Moss Street and The Big Gunn—to being inducted as a Fellow Member of the Real Estate Institute of Queensland (REIQ) in 2024, Kerry has set the standard for service excellence.
This multi-generational pedigree offers you, the seller, a unique advantage. You benefit from the aggressive, modern strategies of Ben and David, backed by the steady, proven wisdom of Kerry Armstrong. It is a balance of energy and experience that ensures your asset is in the safest possible hands.
A History of Being Number One
We understand that trust is earned through results, not promises. Our track record is not just impressive; it is a matter of public record.
For decades, operating under the LJ Hooker Commercial banner, our office was a dominant force on the national stage.
2005 - 2007: We achieved the status of the Number One Commercial Office in Australia for three consecutive years.
2008 - 2012: We maintained this national dominance, consistently ranking as the country's top office.
2013 - 2023: For a decade, we were recognized as the Number One Commercial Office in the Northern Territory and Queensland, culminating in an International Champion Office Runner-Up title in 2023.
In July 2024, we took the next logical step in our evolution. We rebranded to Bromley Real Estate.
Why does this history matter to you as a seller? Because it proves that our systems, our database, and our negotiation strategies work. We have navigated every economic cycle—booms, busts, and recoveries—and consistently delivered record-breaking results for our clients. We are not practicing on your business; we are applying a winning formula that has been refined over thousands of transactions.
The Bromley Advantage: Where Everything Connects
The modern market is fragmented. You have business brokers in one corner, leasing agents in another, and finance brokers somewhere else. This fragmentation costs sellers money.
Bromley Real Estate was built to solve this.
Our tagline, "Where Everything Connects," is our operational philosophy. We work as a strong, unified team with the ability to cater for all your commercial property and business needs under one roof.
We understand that selling a business often involves selling or leasing the underlying freehold. We understand that a buyer for a commercial asset often needs immediate access to commercial finance to close the deal. By housing all these disciplines internally, we remove the friction from the sale.
Our Integrated Specialist Divisions Include:
Business Broking: Specialized support to value and market your trading enterprise.
Sales and Leasing: The core engine of our agency, connecting assets with occupiers and investors.
Commercial Finance: Providing buyers with the capital they need to sign the contract.
Asset Management: protecting value leading up to the sale.
Development Advice: Helping you unlock hidden value in your site before you go to market.
Project Marketing: Both Residential and Commercial.
This holistic approach means that when we list your business or property, we are looking at it through multiple lenses. We identify value that others miss, and we find buyers that others cannot reach.
Our Values: Building a LEGACY
We believe that continuing success can only be built on a foundation of responsible business practices. In an industry often criticized for short-term thinking, Bromley Real Estate plays the long game.
We operate by a strict set of values encapsulated in the acronym LEGACY. These are not just words on a wall; they are the principles that drive our negotiation strategy and our relationship with you.
L – Longevity We are here for the long haul. We build relationships that last decades, not just the duration of a contract. We advice you based on what is best for your long-term wealth, even if it means telling you not to sell right now.
E – Excellence We hold ourselves to the highest standards. From the quality of our marketing materials to the precision of our contracts, we believe that excellence in the details leads to excellence in the final sale price.
G – Growth We are committed to the growth of our clients and our community. We use the most up-to-date research and thought leadership to help you make informed decisions that grow your capital.
A – Accountability We do what we say we will do. We are transparent in our reporting and accountable for our results. When you entrust us with your asset, we take that responsibility seriously.
C – Community We are proudly local. We support the South East Queensland community because this is our home. We understand the local planning laws, the local councils, and the local business sentiment better than anyone.
Y – Yield Ultimately, we are here to perform. We focus on maximizing the yield and return on investment for our clients. Whether it is improving the lease structure prior to sale or negotiating a higher multiplier for your business, your bottom line is our priority.
Strategic Business Broking
Selling a business is a distinct discipline. It requires confidentiality, financial literacy, and the ability to sell "intangibles" like goodwill, brand equity, and future potential.
Business Broking services were formally launched by our team between 2008 and 2012, and since then, we have become a trusted authority for business owners looking to exit.
We do not just list your business; we package it. We utilize our Insights & Knowledge division to analyze market trends and position your business where the demand is highest. We leverage our Commercial Finance arm to pre-qualify buyers, ensuring that the people looking at your business actually have the capacity to buy it.
Our team works collaboratively. A leasing agent might meet a tenant looking to expand—that tenant becomes a prospect for your business sale. A finance broker might meet an entrepreneur looking for an acquisition—that entrepreneur becomes your buyer.
At Bromley Real Estate, the silos are broken down. Every connection contributes to a progressive future for your sale.
The Crossroad of Legacy & Innovation
The world of real estate is changing. Data is becoming more important. Marketing is becoming more digital. Buyers are becoming more sophisticated.
Bromley Real Estate is the path through which ideas are realized and business futures are built. We adapt to industry advancements while holding fast to the old-school values of a handshake and honest advice.
We offer you the security of a firm that has been around since 1977, combined with the energy of a team that is defining the market of 2024 and beyond. We are Brisbane’s most innovative real estate group, backed by Australia’s most iconic real estate lineage.
Your legacy deserves to be handled by a team that understands the value of one.
Do not leave your business sale to chance. Trust the team that has been Number One. Trust the team that connects the dots. Trust Bromley Real Estate.

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.

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.

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.
