Buying a Business in Bendigo

Don’t buy a business on the seller’s word

The person selling a business in Bendigo has every reason to make it look better than it is. The books get tidied, the good years get highlighted, the awkward bits get glossed over. Our job is to look past the sales pitch and tell you what you’re really buying — before your name is on the contract. If the numbers stink, we’ll tell you and you can walk away.

What we check before you sign

• Financial due diligence — are the numbers real, or dressed up for sale
• Valuation sanity-check — is the asking price fair for what the business earns
• What’s actually included — assets, stock, goodwill and any hidden debts
• Purchase structure — asset vs share purchase, and the tax that comes with each
• Funding and a realistic cash-flow forecast so day one doesn’t sink you
• Setting up the entity and systems so you’re ready to trade from go

Buy well, and set it up right

Getting a good price is only half of it — how you buy matters just as much. The right structure can save you tax for years; the wrong one can cost you at every turn. We work with you on the bigger picture and get the paperwork lined up, then handle the ongoing tax and compliance once it’s yours. One team that knew the numbers before you signed, and still knows them after.
