Berngate is a boutique firm of business brokers representing owners across Australia — from businesses worth a few hundred thousand to enterprises up to $50 million. We don't just list your business. We help you build value into it first, then prepare, package and take it to the right buyers.
Most brokers list a business the day they meet you. We take a different view. Before anything goes to market, we look at where value can be created — the levers that lift what a serious buyer will pay — and we work with you to strengthen the business leading into the sale.
Only then do we prepare and package it properly: the numbers, the story, the positioning, and everything a genuine acquirer needs to move with confidence. By the time your business is presented, it's ready to command its highest figure — not just ready to be advertised.
Every engagement is hands-on and led personally. We are selective about who we take on, so each business gets the focus it deserves.
We assess your business the way a buyer will, then work with you to lift value in the lead-up to sale — sharpening the numbers, the operations, and the commercial story so you go to market from a position of strength.
We prepare and package your business for market: financials, positioning, and a clear, compelling profile. Everything a serious acquirer needs to assess the opportunity — presented to a standard most owners never reach on their own.
We build a strategic, curated database of aligned buyers for every designated client — and, where it helps, list on the most reliable, high-quality platforms. Targeted first, public only when it serves the outcome.
We bring the right buyers to the table, manage the commercial conversation, and guide the deal through to the right introduction and terms — handing off to licensed advisors only when it's time to execute the close.
Every engagement is a fully personalised, one-to-one service — and completely confidential. Your business is never publicly named unless you choose to advertise it openly. Until then, buyers are approached discreetly, on a need-to-know basis, protecting your staff, your customers, and your position.
We don't start from zero. We already hold an active, nationwide network of qualified buyers — so the right acquirer for your business is often already in the room.
From small owner-operated businesses to substantial enterprises — if there's real value to realise, we can help you realise it.
We take on a select number of clients rather than chasing volume. Fewer listings, deeper focus, and a genuinely personalised process on every deal.
An Australia-wide firm with a nationwide buyer network — bringing the right acquirers to your business wherever you're based.
If you're looking to sell your business for the most it can achieve — and you'd rather a boutique, personalised service than a name on a listing site — we'd love to hear from you.
