Welcome
We would love to report that the repercussions from the global financial crisis have all but disappeared, but there is no point in burying our heads in the sand. The truth is times are challenging…but the good news is not as tough as they were a year ago.
Buyers and sellers are still cautious and lending institutions are tougher than ever to convince you’re a good investment and deserve the money you’re asking to borrow. Despite the improving outlook for business we’re finding that banks are continuing with their policy of requiring higher levels of collateral security and serviceability.
In some instances this is resulting in buyers being restricted on what they’re able to offer. This is driving home more than ever that prices and expectations have to be realistic. However, if you’re thinking of selling a business you’ll be happy to hear it’s actually a quite a good time as there are always people looking to buy a well established and performing business for a whole host of reasons.
As for buyers, if you’re able to get around the challenges of financing there are some good opportunities so if you’d like to know more about what’s available on our books, take a look at some of the examples on the back page or call and have a chat to our team.
