Marlow & Co | Industrial Business Sales Across Eastern Australia

 

Expertise in Industrial Business Transactions

At Marlow & Co, we specialise in selling complex, high-value industrial businesses. With a sharp focus on sectors such as manufacturing, wholesale, import, distribution and B2B service operations, we provide the knowledge, discretion and structure required to handle these sophisticated sales effectively.

We understand that industrial businesses require a different approach than retail or hospitality sales. Our team has the technical background and business insight to guide owners through the full process, from valuation and preparation to negotiation and settlement.

Our team includes brokers with professional backgrounds in accountancy, manufacturing, distribution, international trade, finance and both small and large enterprise management. Every member of the team brings relevant commercial experience to ensure sellers are supported by people who understand their business, sector and transaction priorities.
