Lloyds Business Brokers have been selling businesses successfully for over 40 years. They are recognised leaders in Corporate Sales, Mergers, Acquisitions and General Business Brokerage with Local, National and International exposure and associations. Since 1984 they have compiled an impressive record of business sales in the mid-market bracket.
Lloyds Consultants are all qualified Professional Business Brokers with a wealth of business experience to guide business owners step by step through the process of selling or buying a business. Typically, each consultant will only undertake a relatively small number of select assignments at any one time, ensuring a very high success rate for Lloyds clients.
Recent successes include the sale of a waste recycling business in Bathurst, a fertilizer factory in Beaudesert, an Aluminium fabrication business in Toowoomba, a home wares importing business in Sydney & Melbourne, and a small goods manufacturer and an industrial safety equipment hire business in Brisbane.
One interesting sale, and an indicator of things to come, involved a business in Sydney which imports surface coatings from Canada, owned by a New Zealander, and purchased by a South African resident in Hong Kong.
Two other major recent success stories involved a security business sold by Lloyds 10 years ago for $150,000, and re-sold for $11m, and a Scaffold Business sold by Lloyds 8 years ago, and re-sold for $15m.
Current sales under negotiation include a Marina in Central Coast NSW, a Marina in Noosa, a concrete pumping operation in Brisbane, a Commercial Bakery on the Gold Coast, and an international vocational training academy.
Buyers have come from as far afield as UK, USA, South Africa, New Zealand, Hong Kong, and even Russia. Mostly these people have come under the Australian Government Business Migration scheme, and it might surprise many to learn of the level of wealth many of them are bringing into the country.
Interestingly, there has been an emerging trend of “hits” on the Lloyds website originating from Mainland China outnumbering the next largest origin of offshore “hits” by almost 2 to 1.
For example, last month, the Lloyds website recorded 5,225 “hits” from China, Vs. 3,322 from USA, 989 from UK, 756 from Hong Kong, 784 from EEC, 440 from NZ, and 318 from S. Africa. Who would have predicted this development a few years ago? Certainly it highlights the need for a significant review of business marketing strategies in the future.
