How to Sell a Business
Get the best price, avoid the pitfalls, and sell on your own terms.

Selling your business is one of the biggest financial and emotional decisions you’ll ever make. Whether you’re ready to retire, move on to something new, or simply cash in on years of hard work, this book shows you how to do it right.

Written by an experienced New Zealand business broker who’s helped hundreds of owners through the process, How to Sell a Business takes you step-by-step through everything you need to know — from preparing your business for sale to finding the right buyer, negotiating the deal, and managing the handover.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Maximise your business value before going to market

  • Avoid the most common (and costly) seller mistakes

  • Handle confidentiality, due diligence, and negotiations with confidence

  • Manage the transition so your legacy, staff, and customers are protected

Clear, practical, and filled with real-world examples, this is the essential guide for every Kiwi business owner thinking about selling.

It’s not just about selling your business — it’s about selling it well.
