We implemented several key strategies as part of a sale-ready program for Total Communications. We then achieved a sale to Paragon Care, a diversified Australian medical company listed on the ASX.
Total Communications engaged Nash Advisory to help them prepare their business for sale. They needed expert advice on how to best prepare for and execute a business sale.
Over the course of our 12-month sale-ready program, we created a detailed strategy to increase the value of the business. Finally, we located an ideal buyer and executed a successful sale.

The owners of Total Communications had owned the business since 1986. They had personally invested in building and growing the business from a phone reseller in the 1990s to a successful business providing specialised telecommunications solutions to retirement villages and aged care homes.
Since they had grown the business from its early stages, the owners of Total Communications needed help to take the next steps. They needed to prepare their business for growth on a larger scale and ensure it was attractive to buyers.
Together with the owners, we developed a five-year business plan for Total Communications which covered their short-term, medium-term, and long-term goals. The business plan included a range of KPIs as well as the rationale for each action area, aligning them to the goals of the business.
We scheduled monthly strategy meetings and created a board with the directors of Total Communications as part of the sale-ready program. We discussed action items, established plans, and assigned responsibilities. This ensured we could implement our strategy effectively and with a high level of accountability.
To increase the business value to a potential buyer, we performed a wholesale review of the company. We looked at financials, assisted in key executive hires and changes to personnel, and worked with the head of sales to drive new opportunities. Along with digital strategies, an office relocation and streamlined reporting, these strategies ultimately led to an additional premium paid for the business.
Once Total Communications had completed the 12-month sale-ready program, we were ready to begin the sales process. We prepared marketing material and presented the business to potential buyers. After receiving several bids and
following detailed discussions with Paragon Care, Total Communications were able to achieve a successful sale.
