A private sale for owners who need a clean exit
Bypass Business Brokers helps Australian owners sell privately when a formal sale process is likely to stall. That often happens when the owner is tired, the records are incomplete, or the business would not present well on paper. Customers still need the phone answered. We introduce you to buyers who can take the business on as it stands.
We may buy the business, or introduce you to someone who will
The core of Bypass is a network of business owners who buy businesses and grow through acquisition. Around that sit accountants, lawyers, former business brokers and investors who regularly look at distressed files, incomplete books and businesses that have not been prepared for a formal sale.
That experience matters. A business can still attract a buyer without tidy financials or a succession plan. The buyer is often another operator who can step in, keep serving the customers, and tidy the paperwork after the handover.
We also speak with owners who have simply had enough: tired, burnt out, stressed, or unwilling to sit through a long interrogation of tax returns before anyone will talk about a sale.
You do not pay us a brokerage fee. Depending on the work involved in finding a buyer, the buyer may pay us a finder's fee. The seller is not charged for the introduction.
What you can expect from us
We do not start with a forensic audit
Many in this network want a straight conversation first and the ability to make a mutually beneficial deal without a broker getting in the way. We encourage a private conversation first and access to data later.
We do not list the business in public
Staff, customers and competitors do not need to see a listing. The first step is a confidential enquiry, not a public campaign.
Have a chat with our team, before you turn off the lights
If you are seriously considering just closing the doors and leaving customers with nowhere to go, a short private conversation is worth having to see if there are any alternatives.
