Our Journey

Business and Co was built from real experience — not theory.

Having owned and sold more than 10 businesses across hospitality, real estate, telecommunications, and retail, I understand firsthand the highs, the lows, the pressure, the excitement, and the relentless challenges that come with running a business. My journey started at just 15 years old in a family business, and since then, business has never just been work — it’s been life.

I’ve sat on both sides of the table. As a buyer. As a seller. As an operator. And as someone who has worked inside one of Australia’s leading media companies, News Corp, gaining deep insight into cut-through advertising, modern marketing, and the power of social media to make businesses stand out.

Through years of dealing with traditional business brokers, one thing became very clear: the industry hasn’t kept up. Many still market businesses the way they did in the 1980s — static listings, outdated methods, and little understanding of how today’s buyers actually discover opportunities.

Business and Co exists to change that.

We combine real business ownership experience with modern marketing, digital reach, and strategic positioning to present businesses the way they deserve to be seen — as valuable, exciting opportunities for the right buyer.

Because selling a business today requires more than a listing.
It requires strategy, storytelling, and visibility.

That’s where we come in.
