BBA represents only the business Buyer and not the Seller.
Is BBA a business broker?
No. BBA is not a business brokerage and does not sell businesses. Brokers act for sellers; BBA stands alone as a dedicated buyer’s advocacy.
How does BBA charge?
Fees are agreed upfront before any engagement — fixed fees for searches and assessments, and agreed fee structures for off-market searches and negotiations. We do not receive a commission from the seller.
What is a buyer assessment?
An independent review of a business you’re considering to acquire. An assessment can take two forms. One which is a short assessment when considering many options and a full assessment when there is one business of particular acquisition interest.
What is a buyer mandate?
A confidential brief of what a buyer is looking to acquire — The brief will include business type, investment range, indicative returns, operations model and timeline. BBA uses the brief as a basis of the business search.
How does the BBA database help both buyers and sellers?
Sellers before they go to market or engage a Business Broker can provide their business details to BBA. This may save them having to pay thousands of dollars in advertising and commission. BBA will see if there is a match from their database of genuine buyers. Buyers get to see businesses before they go to market. This is a Win/Win for both parties
Why does BBA advise Sellers whether their business is ready to sell.
BBA wants to make sure that businesses are ready to be sold. Having genuine buyers means businesses need to be
ready to be sold.— The BBA Sellability Score, pre-sale assessment and Information Memorandum not only helps
these businesses but enables buyers to be well informed with current information.
Doesn't helping sellers create a conflict?
No. We prepare sellers to go to market — we don’t sell businesses. We want sellers to have their businesses be
ready for our genuine buyers
