Ballarat has been an icon of the Victorian commercial landscape since exploding as the epicentre of the Victorian gold rush in 1851. Today, Ballarat remains the commercial capital and largest city in the Central Highlands region.
Ballarat's primarily service-focused industries of tourism, hospitality, retail, government, and education are supplemented with its traditionally strong roots in agriculture, mining, and manufacturing.
This diverse economy is seen as a big selling point for buyers looking to acquire Ballarat businesses. With Nash Advisory, you can capitalise on this interest. We'll use our decades of experience selling businesses to get the best sales price for you.

If you own a business in Ballarat, you'll benefit from direct contact with our directors. Their years of knowledge and experience will be invaluable throughout the process.
We have bought and sold businesses throughout Victoria before. Our local experience has given us deeper insight into what it takes to get a good result.
Ballarat is just the beginning. To find the perfect buyer, we look all over the country and the world. We make it our mission to find the best possible fit.
The metric for our success is if we achieved the best outcome for your business. Our success is intrinsically tied to this outcome, so we work for you.
Let's work together to achieve better outcomes.
Selling a business will generally take between 6 and 12 months and in some cases longer depending on the requirements of the parties involved. A well-planned process should result in a higher outcome for the vendor. Companies who wish to sell their business quickly (i.e. within the next three months) will typically get a lower result. We aim to set out all expectations and have a clear business sale strategy, so all areas of the process can be covered.
The market will determine the value of a business. However, we aim to provide a 'view of value' through our Nash 360 Valuation Report. In addition, we engage with our trusted buyers and investors early in the process to determine price and terms. We can do this within the first one to three months of the process.
We always ensure that buyers sign confidentiality agreements. When the buyer is a direct competitor, we withhold sensitive information until the end of the transaction. We typically break up the data provided into three batches, with the final batch including key customers, pricing and employees.
The buyer pool can be vast or quite specific. This usually depends on the size of your business, the management team, and the industry. The buyers could be private investors, large trade buyers, or private equity firms. Each buyer group acquires businesses in different ways.
A buyer will want to consider all aspects of your business—financials, contracts, customers, industry tailwinds, and management, to name just a few. Diligence can take as little as one month or up to four months, depending on your ability to access critical data. Our job is to push the process forward and ensure diligence runs smoothly.
