I just had to say that i have sold my business in just 2 weeks for a lot more than 3 brokers who looked at it said i would! I was really pleased with your site and have since recommended it to other people also interested in selling. It was easy to set up and your help tweaking it was fantastic. I chose your site after i investigated what came up first on Google, and am really glad i did. Thanks again

P Odes - Online retailer – $432k profit, no stock (#217079)
Bsale is a wonderful, professional site. We had a steady stream of enquires until we found that right buyer for our little pet shop, Using Bsale has saved me thousands in sales commissions. If you know what your business is really worth and you are patient then don't waste your time with anywhere else.
Mathew Wilde - Retail Pet Shop Est. 16 yrs (#88886)
The response I received from my listing was phenomenal. I was able to find the right buyer for the full price. Couldn't be happier with the service. You don't need a business broker. When I tried to use one - the so called expert in my type of business told me he couldn't get anywhere near the price I got. So believe in yourself - you are the best person to sell the business especially in professional services. I have to date sold 2 businesses on BSale.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I sell my business privately?
Selling a business privately means you are selling it without the assistance of a business broker or agent. The sale of your business will require a solicitor to prepare the necessary legal paperwork and an accountant to analyse your tax obligations and prepare financial documents.
Can Bsale sell my business?
Bsale is an advertising platform dedicated to driving enquiries. Our goal is to send quality leads to our clients (business owners, brokers and franchise groups) so they can negotiate and ultimately sell the business. So whilst we cannot 'sell your business' we can generate you the leads and find the potential buyer, so you can sell your own business.
Does Bsale charge commission to private sellers?
No, Bsale is an advertising website with the goal of generating leads for your sale. We have a flat advertising rate.
Do you need a lawyer to sell a business?
It is a good idea to use a lawyer, solicitor or conveyancer when selling a business as you want the sale to be legally binding.
A good commercial business lawyer will walk you through the entire sale process; this includes preparing necessary documents and guiding negotiations. You want to ensure you are properly represented in the business sale so everything runs smoothly through to settlement. The buyer may also engage a solicitor during due diligence and negotiations.
How do I know what my business is worth?
The best way to assess what your business is worth it to get a market appraisal. Business brokers will provide you with a market appraisal of what they think your business could sell for. Appraisals are often provided free of charge by a broker as they would like you to become a client, and it’s part of their sales process, though some may charge a fee. There can be many variations in a business’s appraisals, depending on the broker's perspective and what they consider valuable.
It is a good idea to approach three business brokers who understand your industry and have experience selling your type of business. There is no point applying a calculation you find online as businesses are so varied, you want to get an accurate appraisal for the current market conditions. At the end of the day, you want to know what your business could sell for in the current market and ensure it’s priced correctly and is not too high or too low.

How do I sell a small business myself?
If you are selling a small business (under $100,000) many owners choose to sell it privately or by themselves. You will need to get the business prepared, market it for sale, find a buyer, negotiate, exchange contracts and reach settlement and handover.
You need to engage the following professionals to ensure you understand the legal process and tax obligations:
- Solicitor / Conveyancer / Lawyer
- Accountant
How do I sell my business without a broker?
You can sell your business without a broker on Bsale. We are an advertising and marketing platform dedicated to finding buyers for business owners and their agents.
Should I have an exit strategy before selling?
Yes. It’s important to have an exit strategy as part of your business plan. An exit strategy will outline what happens to the business when the current owner decides it's time to leave. The strategy could involve selling to a competitor, engaging a business broker, transferring ownership to a family member or selling privately. It will outline when is the best time to sell; perhaps when net profit reaches a certain point, when the owners plan to move, when a patent or trademark is approved or when the owner is ready to retire.
In reality, very few business owners have an exit strategy and usually sell their business when life forces the sale, such as; relocating, sickness, retirement, increased expenses or downturn in profit. If you give yourself enough time to plan your business sale, you can set up an exit strategy.
What does FSBO mean?
FSBO means ‘for sale by owner’. It is a common term used in the real estate industry when someone is selling their own property. It is sometimes used in business sales, though it is more commonly referred to as a ‘private seller’.
What is the best package to sell my business?
Our packages are based on 3 months, 6 months, or until sold.
What is the best way to sell your small business?
The best way to sell your small business is with the assistance of professionals. You want to make sure you have the right people around you to guide you through the process. Depending on your business’s circumstances, you may choose to sell it privately or via a business broker. You will need to have an accountant and lawyer to assist with the necessary documents.
Will I have to pay Capital Gains Tax when Selling a Business?
Capital gains tax applies to business sales in Australia. There are currently four small business concessions that could reduce your CGT payable. It is important to get the assistance of an accountant early on when you're preparing to sell as it could affect when and how the sale is structured.
A helpful section on the ATO website outlines what happens when changing, selling or closing a business.
