Testimonials

Michael provides valuable guidance on where to focus your energies to maximise your sale value.

We utilised Kerr Capitals Value + Sellability Diagnostic to draw a line at the start of our sale journey.

The structure and process this tool brought to determining a market price for our business was very helpful. We felt as though the consultation process captured a representative snapshot of our business and Michael was able to very quickly understand the strengths and weaknesses inherent in our business to start to form a plan to work on key value drivers as we work towards a sale.

I would highly recommend anybody considering selling their business to engage the business diagnostics tool, and Michael as it provides excellent context as to where you currently are and provides valuable guidance on where to focus your energies to maximise your sale value.

The earlier you engage the better!

His wisdom and clear thinking kept me calm.

I’ve discovered that selling a business is not an easy thing but, in my case, it was compounded by the fact that I was on Lord Howe Island for the last 10 days before settlement! With limited internet and no phone coverage or car, I rode a bike about 3 km to the best internet on the island which was at the local museum where I spent a couple of hours every morning and evening for over a week answering emails and making Skype calls.

Thank goodness for Michael Kerr, from Kerr Capital! His wisdom and clear thinking kept me calm.

He walked me carefully through the due diligence process and kept me informed every step of the way. He managed the conversations between the buyer and myself at all times and gave us strategies to keep the deal moving forward – right up to the settlement and his expertise in brokering the sale of businesses gave me confidence in his advice.

I would highly recommend Kerr Capital for anyone who has a business for sale.

Michael understood the complexities and distinctions of dealing with a minority shareholder.

I approached Michael Kerr from Kerr Capital after a recommendation from another business owner in my industry. I had not long started the process of buying out a minority shareholder in my health services business. The minority shareholder had assisted me in starting this business by providing capital.

The business had become very successful within the first few years and there was no longer a role in the business for the minority shareholder, but unfortunately the process for buying out the minority shareholder became a lot more complex than I imagined it would.

Michael understood the complexities and distinctions of dealing with a minority shareholder.

The whole experience was new to me, and I was in unfamiliar territory, so I needed the support of someone to assist me through this stressful time as I was still trying to run the business. Michael provided clear astute commercial advice, including valuing the business.

Michael’s advice assisted me in negotiating a fair outcome that meant I could get back to focusing solely on the business to move forward.

Michael went above and beyond in the whole process and his advice was always clear and incredibly helpful.

If you are looking for someone to support you in a similar situation or are seeking a valuation of their business I would highly recommend reaching out to Michael at Kerr Capital.

Thank you Michael for helping take the stress away.

Selling my business seemed like such a daunting thing to even think about. I put off thinking and planning for this crucial step until a friend connected me with Michael.

Looking back now, I would have loved to have connected with him earlier so that the direction and growth of my business in the early stages, was focused and aligned with a clear and thoughtful exit plan.

Michael helped significantly reduce the stress and uncertainty of how to approach selling my business. Stepping through all the business aspects with care and consideration, I appreciated Michael's depth of knowledge and his ethical approach. He gave me important advice like how to increase the value of the business and develop a practical action plan.

I now have a better understanding of my options and feel confident to sell my business when the time comes and know I'll make wiser decisions.

Thank you Michael for helping take the stress away and equipping me for the next big step.

I would highly recommend Michael to any business owner who is considering the big decision of selling their business.

I feel equipped to take the next step in making decisions about my business' future.

Michael from Kerr Capital has been great to work with, he is very approachable and knowledgeable.  

I have found the process of doing the Value + Sellability Diagnostic extremely helpful and has given great insight into the growth our allied health practice. 

It is easy to ask someone what a business is worth, but very different to actually gather all the information and figures. Like all aspects of owning a business you are continually learning and I have developed new insights during the process such as needing to demonstrate the growth potential of business that I need to continue to grow the business to sell the business. I feel equipped to take the next step in making decisions about my business' future.

Michael offered great insights into the strengths and risks within my business.

Michael has been fantastic to work with. He is great to communicate with and delivers his work on time.

The Value + Sellability Diagnostic  offered great insights into the strengths and risks within my business was incredibly helpful. 

The process provided me with practical information about each of the metrics, why each was important and some direction on things to consider to address them. 

His feedback was honest, data driven and practical and his knowledge, generosity and flexibility was much appreciated.
