Real-world advice for real business owners
It’s 232 pages of the exact strategies I’ve used for 20 years as a business broker. It’s the trade secrets, the inside information that brokers use but don’t want you to know.
Owning and selling a business isn’t theory, it’s lived experience. My books are written for business owners who want clear, practical, New Zealand-specific guidance on how to prepare, position, and sell their business for the best possible result.
Whether you’re planning your exit or simply want to understand what makes a business valuable, these resources are designed to give you confidence and clarity at every stage.
