For over 25 years, LINK Business has been the defining force in connecting business buyers and sellers. We are the bridge between your hard work and your future freedom, combining global reach with deep local expertise to deliver results that matter.
Selling a business is rarely a simple transaction. It is a major life decision that represents the culmination of years of effort, risk, and dedication. Whether you are looking to retire, pursue a new venture, or simply capitalize on the value you have built, the path to a successful exit requires a steady hand and expert guidance.
At LINK Business, we are perfectly positioned to guide you through this complex process with absolute confidence. As part of the world’s largest business brokerage network, we offer a level of scale, resources, and buyer access that is simply unmatched in the marketplace. However, we never lose sight of the local nuance that drives a successful sale. With offices situated throughout Australia, we understand the specific economic conditions and market trends of your immediate environment.
We are renowned for integrity, confidentiality, and outstanding results. If you are ready to navigate the sale of your business with a partner who understands both the global landscape and your local street corner, welcome to LINK Business.
Global Reach. Local Knowledge. Proven Results.
The slogan "Global Reach. Local Knowledge. Proven Results" is more than just a tagline; it is the operational philosophy that has driven our success for over two decades.
In the world of business sales, the size of your buyer pool matters. A local broker may know the local buyers, but a global network brings the world to your doorstep. LINK Business connects business buyers and sellers across Australia, New Zealand, and the USA. This international footprint allows us to cast a wider net, identifying serious investors and strategic acquirers who may be looking to expand their portfolio into your region.
However, global reach is ineffective without local grounding. A buyer in the USA or New Zealand needs to understand the value of a business in Australia. This is where our local offices throughout Australia play a critical role. Our brokers are embedded in their communities. They understand the local supply chains, the local labor markets, and the local competition.
By combining this international scope with deep local expertise, we match your business with the right buyer at the right price. We bridge the gap, translating your local success into a globally attractive proposition.
Sell Your Business with Confidence
Uncertainty is the enemy of a good deal. When you decide to sell, you need to know that the process is managed by professionals who have seen it all before.
LINK Business provides a structured, professional pathway to sale. Our experienced, certified brokers specialize in managing confidential, high-performance business sales. We do not believe in a "one size fits all" approach. We understand that selling a small family operation requires a different touch compared to divesting a multi-million-dollar enterprise.
Because we handle operations of all sizes, we have developed refined, quality-controlled systems designed to deliver consistent, professional outcomes regardless of the scale of the transaction.
When you partner with LINK, you are not just getting a listing; you are getting a comprehensive service suite designed to protect your interests and maximize your return.
1. Accurate, Market-Based Appraisals
The most common stumbling block in a business sale is incorrect pricing. Price too high, and the business stagnates on the market, becoming "stale." Price too low, and you leave significant value on the table.
We believe you should know exactly what your business is worth before you go to market. Our appraisals are grounded in:
-
Financial Performance: A deep dive into your P&L to understand the true profitability.
-
Market Trends: An analysis of current buyer sentiment and economic factors.
-
Industry Benchmarks: comparing your business against similar operations to ensure the valuation is realistic and defensible.
This data-driven approach gives you clarity and confidence, ensuring that when we set a price, we can defend it during negotiations.
2. Tailored Marketing Campaigns
A generic listing attracts a generic buyer. To achieve a premium result, you need a tailored approach. We design marketing campaigns that highlight the unique strengths and growth potential of your specific business. We ensure your business is presented professionally to the right audience, leveraging our vast network to generate genuine interest.
3. Strict Confidentiality
We understand that news of a potential sale can be unsettling for staff, suppliers, and customers. Protecting the stability of your business during the sales process is our top priority. LINK Business is renowned for its discreet approach. We utilize strict confidentiality protocols to ensure that sensitive information is only disclosed to vetted parties at the appropriate time.
4. Buyer Screening and Qualification
Not every enquiry is a qualified buyer. "Tire kickers" and competitors fishing for information can waste valuable time and endanger confidentiality. Our brokers act as a shield, rigorously screening and qualifying potential buyers to ensure they have the financial capacity and genuine intent to purchase before they are introduced to your business.
5. Skilled Negotiation and End-to-End Support
Finding a buyer is only half the battle; getting the deal across the line is where the real work begins. Our brokers are skilled negotiators who advocate for your best interests. We provide end-to-end support, managing the due diligence process, coordinating with accountants and solicitors, and driving the transaction toward a successful close.
Industry Specialists Across All Sectors
Business is not a monolith. The metrics that drive value in a manufacturing plant are vastly different from those that drive value in a digital marketing agency. To sell a business effectively, the broker must speak the language of that industry.
At LINK Business, with hundreds of listings at any time, we have built a team of specialized brokers with hands-on experience across a vast array of sectors. You will not be paired with a generalist; you will be matched with a broker who understands your industry and, crucially, understands your buyers.
Our areas of expertise include, but are not limited to:
-
Hospitality: From cafes and restaurants to large-scale venues.
-
Retail: Understanding inventory, foot traffic, and lease negotiations.
-
eCommerce: Valuing digital assets, traffic sources, and logistics.
-
Health: navigating the complexities of clinics, practices, and compliance.
-
Manufacturing: Valuing equipment, IP, and supply contracts.
-
Logistics: Understanding fleet value, contracts, and distribution networks.
-
Professional Services: Valuing client lists, recurring revenue, and goodwill.
This specialization ensures that when a potential buyer asks a technical question, your broker answers with authority, building confidence in the asset.
