We help prospective buyers buy the best business.

We are a mergers and acquisition firm located in Melbourne and Sydney (and China) that facilitates the buying of the best medium-large size business for (ex) corporate executives, investors and corporations. We have partners in 40 countries (including China) for post buy global growth expansion opportunities.

Why Use the BusBuy Group?

The BusBuy Group is different in a number of material, risk-reducing ways:

The BusBuy Group has the only database of profitable businesses (for sale at the right price)
In addition to the “standard process” (above – ‘How We Work’), the IM typically details 10 years industry history and 5 year forecasts of revenue, profit (EBITDA) and exports/imports, and, more importantly competitive position and opportunities to grow the business domestically and/or globally
The target company’s competitive position (domestically and globally) is assessed by comparison with the leading competitors and the average competitor [for revenue, profit (EBITDA), exports, cost structure and differentiation]
