Selling a Café is Very Different to Selling Other Businesses.
It Pays to Work with Somebody that Fully Understands the Industry.
Work with a broker that understands the industry from first hand experience and, that can provide solutions to valuing, marketing and selling a cash business.
If you are considering working with a broker then would it make more sense to work with one who specialises just in cafes or one who sells a bit of everything?
Work with a broker that only sells cafes and food businesses and,who database only contains buyers looking for a business like yours.

Hi, I am Paul Leach of GSE Business Consultants and I specialise in working with Cafe owners to make sure that they get the best return possible when they sell their cafe.
Having sold nine of my own food businesses over the last 23 years I have learnt a thing or two about how the sale process works.
I have sold most of my businesses myself and a couple through a broker so I have seen the pros and cons of both methods first hand.
I now use my experience to guide cafe owners through the sale process in two different ways.
Firstly we run a program called Six Steps To Sale which I have developed to help busy cafe owners sell their business themselves quickly, for the right price and, without paying any commission.
During this program we work together and I guide you through the sale process from start to finish. You have unlimited support and guidance from planning the sale right up to me handing over everything to the solicitors.
Secondly I can work with you on a traditional business broker basis to help you prepare your cafe for sale, market the business and deal with the whole transaction right up to settlement.
The fees for the full cafe business broker services are commission based with no advertising costs.

I started work at age 14 with the local butcher, various paper rounds, helping market traders and working in a local hotel all taught me a strong work ethic and sense of personal responsibility that is with me to this day.
I loved hotel work and went on to work in various luxury Hotels in the UK culminating in my running a fine dining Restaurant in Bristol called Markwick’s. In my mid 20’s I went to work for an historic Bristol based wine merchant as a wine advisor where I worked for 5 years up until I emigrated to Australia.
Moving to regional Australia was an eye-opening experience and was possibly the single bravest thing I have yet had to do. I worked for a year as business manager for a car dealership and then worked for 5 years for a Hospitality equipment supplier where I helped the business to grow significantly.
In 2014 I opened my own speciality coffee shop and café called Jardine’s and quickly built it into a respected, profitable and popular destination for food and speciality coffee in Wagga Wagga.
I discovered GSE Business consultants during the sales process of my café after several negative experiences with business brokers. I found GSE to be helpful, realistic and tenacious in helping me to achieve a sale, it was a breath of fresh air to work with somebody who understood my business and the industry I love.
After the dust had settled following the sale of Jardine’s I decided that I wanted to help Paul with his mission to help busy café owners to achieve a sale through thorough preparation, strong exposure and good advice.
Initially based in Wagga Wagga servicing regional businesses I have since taken responsibility for our brand-new Canberra based office.
Selling a business can be a challenging and sometimes difficult process. I will use the skill and experience I have gained in my career to help with you through every step of your sales journey. I can guide you through the challenges you will face to help you to achieve the outcome you desire.
