Business Presentation & Ease of Management
We will guide you to ensure your business is presented in an attractive manner. This includes physical presentation and also well documented procedures and systems, meaning a buyer will be attracted to your business which will also appear very easy to manage.

Staff Retention
Buyers are always worried about possibly losing staff members, whilst your staff will be concerned about losing their jobs. They are all worried about the same thing! We will help you to quickly prepare a Staff Retention Plan which relieves the worries of buyers and staff, which means your business will be easier to sell for maximum value.

Maximum Confidentiality
The confidentiality of your business is as  important to us as it is for you, which is why we ensure every potential buyer signs a legally binding confidentiality agreement before giving any identifying details. We will always contact you if we believe the potential buyer is a customer, competitor or employee. This provides further protection of your confidentiality.

Guided Negotiations
We recommend that business owners be involved in the negotiation process with buyers, because you know your business better than anyone else. We will always be there to guide you and to use our expertise to help you achieve the highest possible price.  We will sometimes negotiate “behind closed doors” with a buyer and then present you with an offer when that is required to get you the best deal.

Targeted Advertising
We don’t simply place adverts all over the internet, we base our advertising on your Exit Plan to attract the right buyer, not to just attract time wasting “lookers”. When your business could be sold for the maximum price by targeting specific buyers, such as employees, customers, suppliers etc then this is always based on your Exit Plan. Quite often selling to someone already identified as a potential buyer is the fastest, easiect and most profitable way to sell your business.

Our extensive list of active buyers and investors seeking businesses in Rockingham, Cockburn, Kwinana and Mandurah means that, in addition to effective internet advertising, wemay  already have the ideal buyer waiting for your business. We will contact these buyers and investors as soon as your business is listed with us through Ascend Corporate.

An Easy and Profitable Deal
Bu using our experience and expertise, we aim to help you sell your business easily, quickly and for the best possible price. You still need to be managing your business throughout the sale period and trying to sell it yourself can detract from day to day business operations.
