The key to successful capital raising is the presentation of the company in a clear and concise manner as well as the identification of the best institutions to play a role in the capital raising or listing of the company. We can provide advice and assistance with negotiating sources of capital with good networks of institutional providers as well as high wealth investors and private equity providers.

Advice to management teams in developing their plans for a buyout and negotiating with potential providers of capital and vendors. Increasingly in exit planning vendors are realising that divestment through management buyout is providing increased value on their exit.

Business Valuations
The process of careful valuation is essential for any potential vendor or purchaser of a business as it can provide the basis for the transaction that will make the investment a success in terms of financial returns

Strategic and Business Planning
Identification of long term goals of owners and stakeholders and highlighting actions that will put the business in the best position to improve returns and competitive position. Crystallising Ideas and documenting plans for them are more likely to reveal the nature of available opportunities.

I have made use of the services of James Taylor to sell two businesses in the last few years. Throughout the process I have found James to be professional, knowledgeable and thorough. James was able to find high quality prospective purchasers who were financially capable and ready to purchase my businesses. James has a vast network of contacts and maintains regular communications and updates throughout the sale process. James was able to use his wealth of experience and professional network to guide me through to a successful sale for both businesses. I have already recommended James to several of my business colleagues and would not hesitate to do so again in the future.

The business was in a growth stage, so that meant there were hundreds of enquiries. James’ seasoned experience was demonstrated in the way he methodically worked through the enquirers weeding out the time wasters, and qualifying the real potential candidates. The process of selling this business was drawn out on the back of the recent tougher constraints on lending from the banks. As such, I believe James spent a lot more time on the sale than his fee had allowed for. Yet he did this with unwavering enthusiasm and continued head strong into meeting after meeting with potential clients, all in after business-hours... James stood by and saw it to the end. Many times when buyers become a little bewildered  or disillusioned, James’ keen advice to the other side kept them on track. I could not recommend his service any more, it really is a cut above the rest. 

I was very impressed with our Business Broker, James Taylor. James was very professional in all his dealings and guided me smoothly right through the entire buying and franchisor approval process. He regularly communicated with me and allowed me to draw on his excellent knowledge of small business and franchising. I would recommend him to others who are considering buying or selling a franchised business.

James helped to sell our business and was a pleasure to do business with. From his initial consultation he provided a professional service to the highest quality. His personal knowledge of the Franchise Systems helped to find and guide our buyer through the whole process. I fully recommend James to anyone looking to buy or sell a business.

Toby has provided tremendous support throughout the whole purchasing process, and exceeded all my expectations as a buyer. He has gone out of his way to facilitate between multiple parties and move things along, and the purchase could not have been completed without him and the team from Transact.

Throughout all stages of our business acquisition Garry was extremely professional and ensured consistent communication between all parties involved.  Not only was he very responsible in all of our dealings, but he also offered broad advice, guidance and the support we were looking for based on his knowledge and experience across a number of industries. Throughout the process Garry was a great sounding board for us and always available at any time.  Without hesitation, we would recommend Garry and the Team at Transact Business Sales to any future client and are more than happy for any potential clients to get in contact with us directly for any additional feedback on Garry.
