About Us

Legacy Partners

We help Australian business owners achieve the two things that mean the most when they exit their business – the greatest financial return and a lasting legacy.

For many businesses, most of the value is tied up with the owner. When they leave, this value – often client and supplier relationships – leaves with them. This makes it hard to both sell the business for the amount you’d like and for the business to succeed with a new owner.

The Legacy Partners model solves both these problems and has been successfully used to help business owners transition out of their business across a wide range of industries and business types.

Using a gradual exit, you’re able to realise a greater return and transfer management and control of your business to the right business partner who will grow your business and take it into the future.

Our team comes from a diverse background of corporate, financial, legal, executive search, entrepreneurial and growth, and will help you find the right leader to take over your business and manage the full transition process.

 

Our Story

Working in executive recruitment we noticed how many of our clients were looking at exiting their business in three to five years.

They were tired, looking for a better lifestyle, and wanted to hire a general manager to take over the day-to-day management of their business.

Then, when they were ready to sell, they would engage a business broker to find a buyer.

What if we could combine these two processes and the person we hired was the person would go on to own the business?

After running the numbers, we realised there were substantial benefits for both the business owner and the incoming business partner compared to the traditional model of selling a business.
