About Us
About Us
We are experienced business professionals, who have worked in service industries for many years as both employees and business owners. Consequently, we understand the pressures and motivations of running a business, and also what business owners expect when engaging a service. We have the depth of experience and motivation to not only meet that expectation but exceed it.
We seek to work with only a small number of vendors at any one time, to ensure we are available and focussed to provide a personalised service and optimise the sale outcome for all of our vendors.
We own this business and are committed to its long term future, so will not take short cuts.
Whilst we can offer a personalised service we are able to offer much more than our experience as we are part of a major national network of business brokers, Finn Group are able to access the experience and results of business sales generated since 2004, by over 40 brokers.

Testimonials
I recently engaged Greg Sinclair to sell my family business that I owned for 30 years.
Throughout the process, Greg’s approach was always very thorough and professional. From the time the business was advertised for sale, the level of interest was high and very soon in the process, there were numerous genuine buyers.
Richard T , Debt Collection businessI have dealt with Greg Sinclair for over 12 months in relation to selling my wholesale/retail business in a niche sector.
Right from the beginning, my questions were taken seriously, answered in detail and promptly. I found him well informed and knowledgeable in all aspects of a business sale.
Angela P, Importer and Distribution businessI chose Greg Sinclair from Finn Business Sales for a two overwhelming reasons.
- Firstly and most importantly Greg impressed me with his wide range of experience in business, as an owner, a seller and also as a business coach and advisor.
- Secondly I was very impressed with the back room support offered by Finn Business Sales. This was then demonstrated throughout the sales process. I received email notifications whenever prospective buyers inquired on the internet, requested financial packages or made material enquiries..
Russell S, Education Supplies businessWe engaged Anne Barritt from Finn after discussing our options with a couple of other brokers. Anne was engaged rather that the others as she had a true interest in selling our business.
Anne was easy to work with professional and ethical but what most appealed to us was her honesty. She saw the potential of our business and gave us a true and realistic idea of the process of selling our business.
Throughout the process Anne kept us informed , she worked very hard to ensure the sale stayed on track by actively managing ever step making it as stress free as possible.
We were very pleased with the outcome and we have and will continue to highly recommend Anne Barritt to other business owners who are looking to sell their business.
Dear Anne,
I would like to thank you for the excellent result that you achieved for me with the sale of my Business, Braza Australia.
Your professional expertise and sound advice, along with the excellent marketing campaign that you devised were directly responsible for the successful sale of my business. I would certainly recommend your services to any person wishing to sell their business.
Stuart Campbell, Lingerie Import and DistributionWe recently sold our business through Finns Business Brokers and our broker was Anne Barritt. Anne was entirely responsive to our needs, and more importantly was very prompt in responding to inquiries from interested parties and in keeping us fully appraised. We achieved an outstanding price within a few months of listing. We highly recommend Anne from Finns Business Brokers in Melbourne.
Our sale process started by interviewing a number of high-profile Business Brokers and all but one came in with big well-rehearsed presentations and promises that I am sure sounded great to them. The one within this group who differentiated herself was Anne Barritt who treated us with the utmost respect and listened to what we were trying to achieve without trying to drive us into a cookie cutter sale program.
Once we had engaged Anne she went to work with us in developing the sale process that included advertising and vetting of every prospective buyer (a significant number) to bring us only buyers who were serious about a purchase. She provided invaluable support in the discussions and negotiation process until we found the right purchaser for our business. Anne’s support further extended to recommending a solicitor who specialised in business sales and who added a huge amount of value to the commercial outcomes we achieved.
The final outcome of the sale process achieved the exact amount Anne had said she could achieve with a purchaser who could fund the purchase under conditions that were favourable to both our business and the purchaser.
We have no reservations in recommending Anne Barritt as a superior business broker to any organisation wanting to sell their business in the most professional/ethical manner possible.
From the moment we started talking to Anne about selling our business we were treated with the utmost professionalism. Her calm manner. honesty and integrity were everything we could ask for and the fact she was always available made things so easy. We can’t thank you enough for everything you did for us Anne.
We recently sold our electrical business with the help of Greg Sinclair, and it was a great experience from start to finish.
Greg was very professional and knowledgeable. He understood our industry and what we were about, which made us feel confident in his guidance. Communication was always clear and open, keeping us in the loop throughout the entire process.
What stood out most was his personalized approach. He took the time to understand our business and its unique selling points, which helped attract the right buyers. His negotiation skills were on point, leading to the right deal.
Greg Sinclair also provided invaluable support during what was an emotional journey for us. Overall, choosing Greg Sinclair was the best decision we made, and we highly recommend him for anyone looking to sell their business.
After a negative experience with another broker who proved to be terribly unprofessional, I engaged Greg Sinclair to sell my industrial supply business which I had owned for some 27 years.
From the very beginning the difference in approach was evident. Greg made a concerted effort to understand, not only the numbers, but the business behind the numbers. He worked hard to present the business favourably without being misleading. Greg helped negotiate a favourable outcome for both myself and the eventual buyer whilst maintaining an ethical, honest and open approach throughout.
The communication throughout was excellent and I didn’t need to follow Greg up at any stage. He was on top of all the important issues and constantly kept me in the loop about what was happening and what he expected to happen next. Greg was also very flexible with his time, showing prospective buyers through the business after hours and on weekends to help maintain confidentiality.
I’d like to thank Greg for helping make what was sometimes a daunting process, not only manageable but quite seamless. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Greg to anyone else looking to sell their business.
I can now look forward to retirement and the next phase of my life!
