Led by Len Ferguson one of Australia’s most experienced and successful business brokers — our team specialises in helping Queensland business owners maximise value and attract serious, qualified buyers. Brokers based in Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Darling Downs, Central and North Queensland.

Every business owner eventually asks: “Is now the right time to sell — and who can I trust to get this right?” With more than 20 years of proven success, Finn Business Sales stands as one of Australia’s most experienced and respected business-brokerage teams. Over two decades, we’ve seen the costly outcomes that occur when businesses are taken to market without the right preparation, guidance or strategy. Poorly presented financials, incorrect pricing, weak marketing and mismanaged buyer enquiries can all derail a sale. Some firms rely too heavily on technology and AI, losing the personal connection that is essential in a people-driven transaction. Buyers need to be guided, understood and negotiated with by an experienced professional — not a system. Choosing Finn means avoiding these pitfalls. Our structured, hands-on approach ensures your business is positioned correctly from day one so you attract better buyers, negotiate from strength and achieve the result your hard work deserves.

Led by Len Ferguson, one of Australia’s most experienced and successful business brokers, our Queensland-based team is strategically located across all regions of the state to provide genuine local insight and on-the-ground support. We use smart technology where it adds value, but our focus remains on personal relationships, clear communication and strategic guidance. Having helped thousands of owners across every industry, we understand exactly what buyers look for, what banks scrutinise and what issues can derail a deal. This depth of experience ensures your business is presented professionally and confidently throughout the entire process.

Before going to market, we assess your business the same way buyers, banks and advisors will. This ensures strengths are highlighted, weaknesses are addressed and no detail is overlooked. Proper preparation is one of the most important factors in achieving a premium price, yet it is the step most often executed poorly by inexperienced brokers. By identifying hidden value and strengthening your position early, we ensure your business enters the market in its strongest and most compelling form. This is why sellers choose Finn.

Most business owners only sell once, and there is no second chance to get it right. With more than 20 years of successfully selling businesses across Queensland and Australia, owners trust Finn to provide a safer, smarter and more profitable path to exit. The earlier we speak, the more value we can help you build into your business before it goes to market — whether you're planning to sell soon or simply exploring your options. A confidential conversation with our expert team is the best first step to understanding your business’s true value and how to position it for a premium result. Contact us today for an obligation-free appraisal and personalised guidance tailored to your business.

Finn Business Sales was founded by Steve Finn and Len Ferguson, two of Australia’s most experienced and respected business brokers. Their journey in business sales began back in the 1990s when both were selling franchised businesses during the height of franchisings popularity. After gaining industry insight and seeing firsthand how selling businesses could be improved, they branched out on their own in 2003 with a simple goal: make business sales quicker and easier for everyone involved.

Over the past two decades, Steve and Len have trained hundreds of brokers, many of whom have gone on to start their own firms, built a national brand, and have been involved in thousands of business sale transactions across Australia. They’ve learned what works, what doesn’t, and how to consistently deliver strong outcomes for clients.

Despite all that experience, Steve and Len have always stayed grounded and open to change. The business sales world moves quickly; buyer behaviour shifts, technology evolves and markets adjust. Steve and Len ensure Finn Business Sales keeps delivering results because the team never stops adapting, improving and looking for better ways to help clients.

Big enough to lead the industry, yet small enough to stay connected with clients and involved with virtually every deal, Finn Business Sales remains the trusted choice for owners who want real experience, straight communication and genuine results.

Step 1 - Business Appraisal - We provide a free upfront appraisal to help you understand the ideal selling price, backed by real market data and insights into how your business is performing.

Step 2 - Preparation - We’ll get your business fully ready for sale, organise all the right documents and create a custom Business Profile and set up a Virtual Data Room that showcases what makes it great. Everything stays confidential, and we highlight your strengths to attract the right buyers.

Step 3 - Marketing - We use our industry-leading marketing approach and in-house experts to ensure your business reaches the right audience. Along with advertising on Australia’s leading business-for-sale websites, we engage a real database of active buyers—people genuinely looking to purchase. Thousands of new buyers join our database every month.

Step 4 - Buyer Management - We respond to buyers quickly—often within minutes of their enquiry—and qualify them thoroughly to make sure we’re only dealing with people who are genuinely serious. Years of experience mean we can spot tyre-kickers instantly. We guide buyers through the process, educate them where needed and introduce them to commercial, experienced advisors who can support their decision-making. Every buyer is assessed for intent, and only the serious ones are taken further to properly investigate your business.

Step 5 - Negotiation - When it comes time to negotiate, we use the insight gained from years of qualifying buyers, understanding their motivations and managing their expectations. Our negotiation approach is strategic, calm and experience-driven, allowing us to secure the best possible terms and the strongest price for your business.

Step 6 - Finalising the Sale - Finalising a sale is the most complex stage, and it’s where experience truly counts. We guide the buyer through contracts, due diligence, finance, leases and franchisor approvals, keeping everything on track. More deals fall over here than anywhere else, so having an experienced broker makes all the difference in getting your sale smoothly to settlement.
