Osborn Business Advisory · South Australia
Buying or selling a business is one of the biggest financial decisions most people make. I've been inside 320+ deals. I know what to look for — and what to walk away from.
Most buyers go into a deal with only the vendor's information. I'll give you an independent view — on the numbers, the lease, the risks, and what fair value actually looks like.
See buyer advisory servicesBefore you list, before you engage a broker, get an independent appraisal and understand your options. You might not need to pay 5–10% commission to do this well.

Fixed fees. Written delivery. No hourly billing. No success fees — ever.
You've found a business you're interested in and you want to know what it's actually worth — before the vendor's asking price becomes your anchor. I'll assess the financials, the lease, the market, and give you an independent view on fair value.
A private sale without a broker on the other side is different from buying through an agency. I'll review the deal from first look to signed agreement — financials, fair value, the sale documentation, and what to negotiate before you commit.
Everything in Tier 1, plus full process support from first look through to settlement. Up to three calls, negotiation preparation, business summary, and ongoing written support through the close. The full buyer-side advisory experience.
Before you assume the lease — or sign a new one — understand what you're committing to. I'll go through the terms, the obligations, and the risks in plain language. Available as a standalone service or as a bolt-on to any buyer advisory tier.
Before you list, before you price, before you tell anyone — get an independent appraisal. I'll assess the financials, identify what drives your value up or down, and give you a realistic range to work from.
Appraisal → Business Profile → Seller's Pack → Close Support. The full seller-side advisory service at a fixed fee — no broker commissions, no percentage of sale. You keep more of what you've earned.
