Hello, I am Paul Leach and I am the director of GSE Business Consultants who are Specialist Cafe Consultants and Brokers based in Sydney and Canberra. Having sold nine of my own food businesses over the last 24 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.
At GSE we use our specific industry experience to help cafe owners to grow, run and sell their businesses. We run a program called Six Steps To Sale which is designed to help prepare cafes (and their owners) for sale. This step by step process ensures that the business will sell for the right price and at the right time. We can work with you on a full brokerage basis to help you to prepare and sell your cafe. Our coaching and consulting services support you with developing your business to be as profitable as possible without it taking over your life. No matter what stage of your café journey you are at we can tailor a solution for you, with more than 25 years industry experience there are not many situations that we have not dealt with.
