Selling your business
is a pretty big deal.

Selling a hospitality business is not the same as selling other types of businesses.

Whilst there are parts of the transaction that are standard, there are also a lot of differences when selling cafes, restaurants, bars and takeaways

Don’t underestimate the advantage of working alongside a specialist in your industry. There are many benefits from working with an experienced hospitality professional that have sold their own businesses as well as many others for their clients.

Our focus is solely on hospitality and we love the industry, if you need any advice about selling a cafe, restaurant or takeaway then feel free to get in touch.

No more added stress
no more lost time.

Worried about how to cope with the added stress of dealing with your business sale?

Through our experiences in selling our own hospitality businesses we  learnt that the sale process is all about preparation.  These experiences have helped us develop checklists and templates that makes this much quicker and will save you a lot of time.
 
Having everything prepared will mean that you can provide information to interested buyers quickly which will take lot of stress out of the process for you and will keep the buyer moving forward.

Our  systems and approach are all about making things as easy as possible for you.

What would even a 20% increase in the value of your business mean to you?

It is a known fact that a structured plan to exit your business can increase the value by more than 50% and in some cases as much as 100%.

Our systems use the principles of Exit Planning and apply them practically to the hospitality industry to allow business owners to implement plans quickly without adding too much to the working week.

What our clients are saying

Our core values are at the heart of what we do. They are deeply integrated into our daily work lives and help us remember that our customers always come first, the last thank you should always come from us.

Meet Paul, Director, Senior Consultant and Hospitality Broker.

I grew up in the food business, my parents owned two very successful restaurants. I have fond memories of working alongside them from a very early age.

All through my school years I knew that I wanted to be a part of the hospitality industry and the day that I started at college could not come quickly enough. I spent three enjoyable years learning my trade and left college to join my parents in their second restaurant.

In 1992 my parents decided that the time was right for them to sell up and I felt it was also the right time for me to go out on my own.

In 1993 I opened my first Cafe called “Hogarth’s” and that is where it all began. Over the following 25 years, I built and sold nine food businesses. I loved every minute (well most of it) and learnt a lot about how the sale process works, I also learned some very valuable lessons.

I love the food industry and wanted to crack double digits and open shop number ten, unfortunately, the two things that I value the most in my life, my marriage and my health probably would not have lasted if I had done that so I called it a day

I always felt that there was a better way to sell cafes and food businesses and that is where the idea for GSE came from. My vision was to build a specialist firm of hospitality brokers that could make the sales process as straightforward as possible for the owners of hospitality businesses in Australia.

I am now using the experience I gained selling my own businesses as well as selling a lot of other people’s businesses to lead the team of very talented brokers at GSE.

I would love the opportunity to show you more about how the approach that GSE take can help you to sell your business for the price that you want and on your terms.

If you are looking for a specialist Hospitality Broker who has walked the walk and fully understands the industry and all of the nuances of the sales process then I would love to hear from you.
