We help buyers acquire businesses worth owning.

Blackhall & Co holds a NSW Class 1 Business Broking Licence, but our model is deliberately buy-side. We are engaged by buyers and keep the buyer's objectives and interests at the centre of our work. We do not act for the seller of a business we are helping you acquire.

We help a buyer turn broad ownership ambitions into clear acquisition criteria, identify potential businesses, assess commercial fit, communicate with sellers and advisers, and navigate the transaction process. We complement—not replace—your legal, accounting, tax, finance and other specialist advisers.

There is no standard timetable. The search may take months, and a suitable transaction still needs time for negotiation, finance, due diligence and documentation. We focus on decision quality and fit rather than forcing an acquisition to meet an arbitrary deadline.

The scope and fee structure depend on the mandate, the search requirements and the support you need. We explain the proposed engagement clearly after an initial conversation, before any work begins.

Yes. Opportunity Review is a separate service for buyers who already have a business in mind and want an independent commercial perspective before committing further time or capital.
