Straightforward advice and a structured path to selling your business. 

 

I specialise in SME business sales in Auckland, with a focus on EBITDA-based valuations and structured transactions. I regularly advise on transactions ranging from $300,000 to $10M+.

I work with business owners to assess value, prepare businesses for sale, and manage the transaction process through to completion, providing clear and practical advice throughout.

 

My approach is grounded in strong financial understanding, with a focus on EBITDA-based valuation, clear presentation to buyers, and structuring deals that hold together through due diligence and settlement.

 

I have advised on the sale of businesses across a range of sectors, including:

 - Supermarkets and retail

- Manufacturing and FMCG

 - Import and distribution

 - Service and trade-based businesses

 - Online and e-commerce operations

 

I work with businesses generating between $1M and $20M+ in annual revenue. This gives me a practical understanding of how different business models operate, how buyers assess risk, and how to position businesses effectively in the market.

 

I am known for:.

 - Clear guidance on business value and sale readiness

 - Preparing detailed and well-structured Information Memorandums

 - Identifying and supporting genuine buyers through the process

 - Structuring transactions that align vendor and buyer expectations

 - Preparing your business for sale and planning a clear exit strategy

 

I work closely with vendors, buyers, accountants and legal advisors to ensure transactions are managed professionally from initial engagement through to settlement.

 

If you are considering selling your business or just need clarity on the process, I am always happy to have a confidential discussion around value, timing, and how best to approach the process.

Doug's testimonial

"As a first timer to the world of business sales, it's fair to say I had a lot of anxiety around how it all works and what the real-world implications are of selling up something you've put a large chunk of your life into. After a few emails back and forth around numbers and logistics, I had my first meeting with James and his team. I walked away from that meeting with only a single concern - "This all seems to easy".. In my experience, when it seems too easy it's likely because there's something I've missed. Credit given where credit is due however, because these guys really sent it home. After many discussions and thorough vetting of potential buyers, with as much input from me as I felt I needed, we had some very positive meetings and in only a few short months, we are now sold and I'm even still working for the new owners! A true testament to the crew at ABC is how low-stress this process was, both for me and for my family. My wife and I are now able to explore our own business opportunities in line with our passions, and we're only able to do this because of the excellent outcome James and his team provided us. It's easily said in hindsight, but I honestly don't know why we waited so long to shift what we built and move forward with what we really love! "
