Why Work With A Specialised Advisor Like Berngate?

Because experienced guidance reduces risk, protects confidentiality, and puts you in control of the outcome.

You Maximise Valuation

Most founders underestimate what their business is worth - or how buyers actually price risk.
  • Position revenue, profit, and growth to attract higher multiples
  • Identify and fix value leaks before going to market (concentration, ops, reporting)
  • Frame the business the way buyers think, not how founders feel

You Access Qualified, Ready Buyers

The right buyer pays more and moves faster. Brokers don’t rely on “hope marketing”.
  • Direct access to strategic buyers, operators, and funds already buying online assets
  • Pre-qualified buyers with proof of funds and deal experience
  • Reduced tyre-kickers, time-wasters, and low-ball offers

You Control Risk and Deal Structure

A sale can fall apart late if it’s not structured correctly from day one.
  • Confidential marketing to protect staff, customers, and brand
  • Structured deal terms (earn-outs, handover, vendor finance) aligned to your goals
  • Fewer surprises during due diligence through professional deal prep

We Manage The Entire Deal For You

Selling a business is a full-time job - on top of running one.
  • Broker manages buyers, negotiations, data rooms, and timelines
  • Clear process from valuation → LOI → due diligence → completion
  • You keep running the business and protecting performance until settlement

Meet The Founder, Jack Prow.

Jack has spent the last decade building, scaling, and exiting businesses across multiple sectors.

His background is not theoretical - he has operated in the trenches. He has built and managed companies, navigated the realities of growth, cash flow, marketing, operations, staffing, and strategic decision-making, and successfully exited his own ventures. Through this firsthand experience, he developed a sharp understanding of what truly drives enterprise value, what creates risk in a transaction, and what serious buyers focus on when committing significant capital.

Today, he specialises in helping business owners prepare, position, and sell their companies properly. This includes strengthening valuation metrics, reducing transaction risk, managing competitive buyer processes, and executing structured, professional exits - so founders can transition confidently and achieve maximum value.

He doesn’t just help sell businesses. He helps owners exit strategically.

Still Have Questions?

Our Team Is Ready To Help!

Here's the answers to the most common asked questions.

When is the right time to speak to an business broker?

Ideally, before you plan to sell. Most value is created 6–18 months prior to an exit through better structure, cleaner reporting, and reduced risk. That said, even if you’re not ready to sell yet, an early conversation can identify what will materially increase your valuation when the time comes.

Can you help if I’m not ready to sell yet?

Yes. Many clients engage early to structure their business correctly before going to market. This includes improving buyer appeal, fixing risk issues, and understanding what your business would be worth today versus after optimisation.

How do you increase the value of my business before selling?

Value is driven by risk and reliability, not just revenue. We focus on areas buyers care about most—financial clarity, customer concentration, operational independence, growth levers, and deal structure—so your business is positioned to attract stronger buyers at better multiples.

Is my business too small to work with a broker?

Not necessarily. What matters more than size is quality and structure. Many businesses become highly sellable once the right issues are addressed. An initial conversation helps determine whether a sale now, later, or not at all makes the most sense.

How confidential is the process?

Completely confidential. Buyers are vetted, NDAs are enforced, and information is released in stages. Protecting your staff, customers, and brand is a non-negotiable part of the process.

Do you just list businesses, or do you manage the entire sale?

We manage the entire process—from valuation and preparation through to buyer outreach, negotiation, due diligence, and completion. This ensures the deal is controlled, structured properly, and protected from late-stage surprises.

What makes working with an business broker different from selling it myself?

Most founders sell once. Buyers buy many times. We understand how buyers think, price risk, and structure deals. That experience creates leverage, reduces mistakes, and often results in materially better outcomes.

What does the first conversation involve?

A confidential, no-pressure discussion to understand your business, goals, and timing. You’ll walk away with clarity on where your business stands today and what options make the most sense moving forward.

How do I get started?

Start with a confidential conversation. Whether you’re months or years away from selling, understanding your position early puts you in control of the outcome.
