The True Value of Clarity

When you are deep in the trenches of running an SME, the future can look incredibly overwhelming.

Whether you are trying to understand your current baseline value, improve your daily operations, or execute a complex exit strategy, you need an advisor who actually listens.

But you don't just have to take our word for it. Here is what business owners have to say about the clarity, confidence, and relief they found by going through the VSD process.

"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." >

— Laura Eddington, Founder & Director, Little Bumble Pty Ltd

Stage 1: Gaining Clarity & Understanding Value

Sometimes, the most important step is simply knowing where you stand. We help owners strip away the guesswork and build a solid, data-driven foundation.

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

— Narelle Hypatidis, Director of Macarthur Occupational Therapy

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

— Kait C., Health Services practice owner (VIC)

Stage 2: Improving Sellability & Exploring Options

Selling isn't always the immediate answer. We help owners build highly profitable, exit-ready businesses that give them the freedom to choose their own timeline.

"It was really great working with Michael. Going through the Value + Sellability Diagnostic really challenged me to think objectively about my business and what I wanted to get out of it. I had come to Michael, with selling on my mind. I was starting to feel a bit overwhelmed and 'done' with the business, but didn't want to sell from a point of weakness. Michael helped me to see the real value in my business... His objective advice has given me fresh eyes and renewed my passion for my business. I will probably still look to sell, but maybe a bit later in the future than anticipated, and probably for more than I would have before."

— Daniel Neuhaus, Owner, Six8 Coffee Roasters & Trader & Co.

"We utilised Kerr Capital's 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... 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."

— Tom, Co-owner, Industrial Manufacturing & Distribution business (VIC)

Stage 3: Executing Complex business transactions

When the time is right to exit, experience matters. We manage the complexity, negotiations, and buyer relationships so you can step away with confidence.

"Thank goodness for Michael Kerr! 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."

— Debbie Roberts, Founder, BACS Bookkeeping

"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... and assisted me in negotiating a fair outcome."

— Emily M., Health Services practice owner (NSW)

"Michael demonstrates outstanding business acumen and has a highly developed understanding of the challenges and opportunities that exist in organisations of all shapes and sizes. We engaged Michael for his in-depth knowledge of the online sector, which recently led to an excellent sale result... His attention to detail, negotiation skills, and ethical business sense made for a very smooth, no-nonsense, and stress-free transaction."
