THE PROBLEM
YOU’RE MISSING OUT ON SCALING OPPORTUNITIES
The demand is there, but outdated strategies and bottlenecks are stalling momentum.
01. YOU CAN'T TRUST WHAT YOU'RE SEEING
Brokers polish listings to perfection — hiding what really drives (or kills) profit.
Financials look fine until you ask the hard questions.
You’re left wondering: “What’s real, and what’s sales fluff?”
02. YOU'RE REACTING, NOT TARGETING
You are waiting for something to pop up online — by then, it’s already gone.
The best businesses never hit the open market.
You need off-market deal flow, not hope.
03. YOU'RE DOING THIS ALONE
You’ve built businesses, but buying one is different.
There’s no roadmap, no second opinion, and no real data on value.
It’s easy to get stuck or worse, make a million-dollar mistake.
04. YOU'RE NOT READY WHEN THE RIGHT DEAL APPEARS
Funding unclear. Strategy half-built.
By the time you decide, someone else has already signed.
You don’t lose because you can’t, you lose because you hesitate.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How is Ready2Exit different from a traditional business broker?
Traditional brokers push listings, we help you buy smarter.
At Ready2Exit, we work for you, not the seller. Our process is built to help serious buyers find, assess, and secure the right business. One that aligns with your goals, cash flow, and risk tolerance.
You stay in control of the decision, confident in every step, while we handle the heavy lifting: from finding owners to structuring and negotiating the deal.
Do I need to contact owners myself?
No, we handle that for you.
Our team does all the outreach, follow-ups, and initial conversations with owners, so by the time you’re involved, the discussion is already warm, relevant, and serious.
You’ll never have to cold call or chase anyone.
We make sure every conversation you have is with a real, interested owner who already understands why you’re reaching out.
How long before I start seeing deals?
Most buyers start seeing qualified owner conversations within 30 days of onboarding.
The timeline depends on how defined your buy box is but once it’s clear, we move fast and continuously feed your deal pipeline.
What types of businesses can Ready2Exit help me buy?
We typically work with buyers targeting established, profitable businesses turning over between $1 million and $20 million annually.
These are strong, proven businesses with real cash flow and growth potential not distressed assets or startups.
Ready2Exit is a selective service. We only partner with buyers who are serious about acquisition and ready to invest in the right support to achieve their goals.
Our priority is ensuring every client we take on is well positioned for success.
If you’re unsure whether your target industry, budget, or situation is a fit, book a free Buyer Strategy Call and we’ll give you honest feedback before you make any decisions.
Can you help with due diligence and negotiation?
Absolutely.
Once the right opportunity surfaces, our team helps structure offers, guide negotiations, and coordinate due diligence to de-risk your acquisition.
You get support all the way through to settlement not just the lead.
What if I already work with brokers or have my own leads?
That’s completely fine. We can work with qualified opportunities you’ve already sourced or even step in to assist with negotiations that are already underway.
However, our core expertise lies in uncovering and managing off-market conversations directly with business owners where there’s no competition, no inflated pricing, and a lot more flexibility.
While we typically don’t work alongside brokers, we’ll always look at your situation objectively and guide you toward the approach that gives you the best chance of securing the right deal.
Is this only for full-time buyers or can investors use it too?
Both.
We work with active acquirers, investors, and entrepreneurs who want to systemise acquisition as a growth strategy whether you’re buying your first business or adding to an existing portfolio.
What does it cost to get started?
Our pricing is tailored to your goals, the types of businesses you’re targeting, and the level of support you need. We don’t do one-size-fits-all packages because every acquisition journey is different.
During your free Buyer Strategy Call, we’ll walk through your acquisition goals, timeline, and deal criteria, then outline the best pathway for your situation including transparent pricing before you make any decisions.
Ready2Exit works best for buyers who are serious about acquiring the right business and ready to invest in a proven process that gets results. If that sounds like you, book a call and we’ll map out exactly what’s involved.
What if I’m not ready to buy right now?
That’s completely fine. Some of our clients start working with us months before they plan to purchase. The earlier we define your strategy and buy box, the better your results.
If you’re serious about buying in the next year, the Buyer Strategy Call will give you clarity on what to prepare, what to avoid, and where your best opportunities might be.
Do you work with international buyers or only within Australia?
Our systems are built for the Australian market, but we regularly work with buyers based overseas who are looking to acquire Australian businesses.
If you’re an international buyer, we can help you understand the local process, market dynamics, and due diligence considerations unique to Australia.
Book a quick call and we’ll confirm if your situation is a good fit.
Do you guarantee I’ll buy a business?
No one can guarantee an acquisition, and anyone who says they can isn’t being honest.
What we do promise is complete transparency from day one. In your first conversation, we’ll be upfront about how likely it is that we can help you achieve a successful outcome based on your goals and circumstances.
We don’t work with everyone only buyers we’re confident we can genuinely help succeed.
If we agree to work together, we’ll be in your corner for as long as it takes, working tirelessly to help you find and secure the right business. Your success is our success, and we treat it that way.
