Common questions
Who is the best business broker in Australia?
Signetry does not rate brokers, and nothing on this page is a score. The order above is a count: live listings in Melbourne, most first. Signetry's choosing guide warns that “A ‘top 10’ list is often marketing rather than an independent ranking, and it may not name its method.” What matters for your sale is whether a broker has sold a business like yours, so ask for two or three past sales in your industry and price range. How to choose a business broker.
Do business brokers charge a fee?
Yes. The guide says many brokers also charge an upfront retainer or marketing fee on top of commission, and that “whatever you agree in the agency agreement”. Ask whether the fee is refundable or credited against commission, and whether it is payable if the business does not sell. Read the guide.
How to pick a business broker?
Signetry's choosing guide says choosing one “comes down to three things: whether they are licensed to do the work in your state, whether they have handled sales like yours before, and what the agency agreement actually commits them to”. For Victoria the guide says: “estate agents are licensed under the Estate Agents Act 1980, and Consumer Affairs Victoria's definition of the work includes arranging the sale of land and businesses”. Check a licence with the state regulator before you sign. The checks to make.
