G'day, I'm Pete Seligman. There are a growing number of people thinking about buying a business in this region, but it can be hard to see what that actually looks like. So to help bring one part of that process to life, I've teamed up with my mates Jason Andrew and James Frank to throw some businesses on the table and share our raw thoughts on each. This is Eta down under. We hope you enjoy it.

In this episode, we analyze a commercial fleet maintenance and compressor repair business listed as an “expression of interest.” With a decade of experience, this business serves industrial clients with a 24-hour call-out service, a 300-square-meter workshop, and partnerships with key suppliers. However, the listing raises as many questions as it answers, highlighting the importance of properly marketing a business for sale.

We explore the challenges of interpreting vague listings, the nuances of valuing industrial businesses, and the cultural differences between buying a house and buying a business. This episode is packed with insights into the SME acquisition process and tips on how sellers can better present their businesses to potential buyers.

If you’re curious about the complexities of buying a business, this episode is for you.

Thanks for listening. I hope you enjoyed it. If you want to learn more, please hit us up on LinkedIn.
