Selling up

When selling a business, there are a number of elements you must consider. Early planning is essential in order to make a successful transition or exit from your business.

Use the tools below to help you:

  • Find out the information you need to develop a business succession and exit strategy by using the Business succession and exit planning quiz.

  • Cover off key issues using the Seller's checklist.

  • Visit SmartLicence for information on ceasing or transferring licences/registrations or phone the Business Hotline on 1300 363 711 (interstate/overseas callers +61 7 3001 6359).

  • Seek professional advice and assistance from an accountant, solicitor, business consultant or business broker.
