Selling your business is a major decision. Many owners pay a broker without understanding what matters to buyers. With this course, you’ll know how to prepare properly so your money is well spent and your business is ready for sale.

Unlike general advice online, this course is designed specifically for small business owners in Australia. You’ll learn how to:

  • Prepare your business assets and documents for sale
  • Protect confidential information with prospective buyers
  • Navigate the due diligence process step by step
  • Understand tax implications and when to seek advice

Passionate and devoted towards improving and helping my company move forward.

The ACT Tax Group team created this course to help business owners approach the sale process with clarity and confidence. Drawing on expertise in accounting, tax, and business advisory, we’ve designed a program that makes complex steps easy to understand and apply.

Our focus is on giving you practical knowledge and tools that support you through each stage of preparing and selling your business. With our guidance, you’ll have the structure you need to make informed decisions and achieve a smoother path to sale.

This course shows you how to prepare your business so you’re not leaving important details only in the hands of a broker. You’ll know what matters to genuine buyers, from financial records to contracts, and how to present your business for sale with confidence.

With the right preparation, you’ll be ready to explain your business assets, working capital, and tax position clearly. This makes the due diligence process smoother, builds trust with prospective buyers, and puts you in a stronger position to negotiate the right price for your business.

Your business is ready when you have up-to-date financial records, clear details of all the assets your business owns, and contracts with employees, suppliers, and customers in order. Good preparation makes the due diligence process smoother for prospective buyers.

You’ll need accurate profit and loss statements, balance sheets, tax returns, and details of working capital. Buyers also want to see forecasts and any existing debts or liabilities. Having these ready makes the due diligence process smoother.

A formal valuation isn’t legally required, but it helps set a realistic asking price and builds trust with prospective buyers. This course explains how valuations work and when to seek professional advice.

Yes, but you’ll need to disclose these obligations. Buyers will factor outstanding loans, leases, or equipment finance into their offer. Preparing this information upfront avoids delays later in the process.

It’s common to use a confidentiality agreement (sometimes called a non-disclosure agreement) before sharing detailed records. We explain how to protect your business name, customer data, and contracts while still attracting genuine buyers.

You may need to account for capital gains tax, GST on certain assets, and employee entitlements. The course outlines common tax implications and when to seek advice from an accountant or lawyer.

Good preparation helps. By advertising with clear, accurate details about your business assets, stock, and contracts, you’ll attract serious buyers. We’ll show you how to identify interested parties and filter for genuine buyers.

You can negotiate directly if you feel confident, or work with a broker for support. This course explains both options so you know when a broker adds value and when selling privately makes sense.

After a price is agreed, the buyer usually starts the formal due diligence process, followed by drafting a legal contract. At this stage, it’s important to involve your lawyer and accountant to finalise details and manage settlement.
