BUYING or selling a business is one of the most significant life decisions many people will make.
Getting the right information at the right time can make all the difference between a successful transition and a costly mistake. The 2026 Buying and Selling a Business MASTERCLASS at WEXPO is attracting strong interest from business owners across Western Sydney and for good reason!
WEXPO has partnered with Xclusive Business Brokers and Aspect Legal, two of Australia’s leading business advisory firms to deliver in-person and practical insights that you won’t find online. At this engaging and informative event, you’ll learn the six key points around selling and buying businesses, including:
- How businesses are valued and how to increase that.
- The biggest mistakes sellers make and how to avoid them.
- What buyers are really looking for – right now.
- Tips to prepare your business for sale before you go to market.
- How to value your business.
- Structuring deals, negotiations and timing for maximum value.
Our presenters include:
- Zoran Sarabaca – Director, Xcllusive Business Brokers.
- Joanna Oakey, Aspect Legal.
The event forms part of the broader WEXPO series, which brings together business leaders, industry experts and community organisations to share knowledge, build networks and support business growth in the region.
For many business owners, selling a business represents the culmination of years of hard work and investment. Yet without proper preparation, including understanding valuation, legal obligations, tax implications and buyer expectations, owners can risk underselling their enterprise or encountering unexpected challenges during negotiations.
Similarly, prospective buyers must approach acquisitions carefully. Conducting proper due diligence, analysing financial records, understanding market positioning and securing professional legal and financial advice are essential steps in ensuring a sound investment.
The WEXPO session will demystify the process by bringing experienced advisers together to explain the key stages involved in buying or selling a business. Attendees will gain practical insights, ask questions and learn how to avoid common pitfalls.
Events like this highlight the value of face-to-face forums where business owners can connect directly with experts, share experiences and gain the knowledge useful in making confident decisions about the future of their businesses.
For entrepreneurs planning their next move, the message is clear: when it comes to business transactions, good advice is optional.
