Selling or buying a hospitality business is a significant decision that requires a clear strategy, attention to detail and discretion.

As a registered business broker and hospitality consultant, I work closely with cafes, bars, restaurants and takeaways to deliver tailored, results-driven sales. My role is not simply to facilitate a transaction, but to guide you through the process with clarity and confidence, ensuring your business is positioned and presented to achieve its highest possible value. I also support clients looking to acquire or expand within the hospitality sector, offering consultative action plans grounded in both industry experience and current market insight.

Hospitality has been a constant throughout my career. With over 12 years of experience in owner-operated venues, I understand the framework and realities that determine a successful business. This lived experience gives me a genuine appreciation for what your business represents and how to communicate that value to the market.

I also bring a strategic perspective from my years of experience as a Founder and Director of a digital marketing and design agency operating across Sydney and Melbourne. Working alongside hospitality operators, I gained a deep understanding of how to position a business in a competitive and ever-evolving landscape across print and digital media. Developing brand awareness, improving reputation and overall increasing sales were key to attracting serious and qualified buyers.

Additionally, holding a Bachelor of Laws (LLB), and possessing practical legal experience, allows me to navigate negotiations with precision, manage due diligence thoroughly and protect your interests at every stage of the sale with a high level of care and professionalism.

These strengths allow me to recognise the hard work you’ve already put in, by managing your sale with sensitivity, expertise, and intent, delivering not just a strong result, but the right transition for your next chapter.
