The Process

Selling your business is one of the most significant decisions you will ever make. Whether you are planning an exit to retire, move on to new ventures, or capitalise on your success, Novus Business Brokers is here to guide you through a structured, seamless, and confidential process. Our four-step approach ensures you find the right buyer while maximising value and minimising stress.

We start with a confidential consultation to assess your business and determine a competitive valuation. We help you prepare by organising financial records, identifying key value drivers, and ensuring your business is market-ready.

Once contracts are signed and funds transferred, we facilitate a smooth transition, ensuring all parties are aligned for success.

Creative Deal Structures

Every business sale is unique, so we design custom deal structures to meet your financial and operational goals. Whether it’s seller financing, earnouts, deferred payments, or equity rollovers, we structure agreements that make deals more attractive to buyers while securing the best terms for you.

Confidentiality Assured

Protecting your business’s confidentiality is our priority. We use strict non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), buyer screening, and confidential marketing strategies to ensure sensitive details remain secure until the appropriate stage of the sale process. This safeguards your staff, customers, and operational stability.
