About MAX | Premium Business Sales

What is MAX?

MAX is a specialist service from Xcllusive Business Sales, created for owners who sit in a space that's often overlooked. Their businesses are too big for traditional brokers but not a natural fit for the big M&A firms with their heavy-handed advisory models.

After more than 20 years helping Australians sell their businesses, we saw the same gap come up again and again. Owners of businesses valued between $5M and $50M needed something tailored, experienced, and hands-on from start to finish.

That's why we built MAX. It's everything we've learned, refined into a service that puts strategy, clarity, and outcomes first. No inflated fees, no bloated process, just a focused team who knows how to get the job done right.

Why choose MAX?

MAX sits in the sweet spot between traditional business brokers and big-name M&A consultancies, offering the best of both worlds without the downsides of either.

Our Positioning

MAX occupies a unique position in the business sales market:

	Traditional Brokers	MAX	M&A Consultancies
Resources	Limited	Specialist team	Large advisory teams
Process	Generalist	Structured & clear	Complex & advisory-heavy
Fees	Transaction only	Premium transaction-focused	High advisory fees
Buyers	Small pool	Extensive networks	Institutional focus

This positioning allows us to deliver the expertise and quality of large consultancy firms with the personalized service and reasonable fee structure that medium-to-large business owners expect.

Here's what makes MAX the smarter choice:

Specialist Team

You get a dedicated, experienced team, not a generalist trying to juggle too much, and not a bloated advisory squad charging eye-watering fees.

Clear, Proven Process

We keep it structured, transparent, and tailored to your outcome, not buried in corporate fluff or one-size-fits-all systems.

Premium, Not Pricey

Our fees reflect real value, focused on getting you the best result, not padding out a boardroom.

Extensive Buyer Networks

We've built deep relationships with buyers across Australia, private equity groups, and strategic acquirers, so your business lands in front of serious players.

Full Service, All In-House

From valuation through to completion, everything happens under one roof. One team. One clear line of communication. Zero runaround.

Our Values

Integrity

You'll get the truth upfront. If your numbers need work, we'll say so. If we think something won't fly with buyers, we'll tell you early. No hype. No hiding. Just what you need to know, when you need to know it.

Excellence

We don't think for a long time. We know how to dig into the details and actually give a shit. It's not about fancy words or shiny decks; it's about doing the work properly and giving your business the respect it deserves.

Confidentiality

Nobody needs to know until you want them to. We don't mess around with sensitive info. Your sale stays private. That's not a promise. It's policy.

Innovation

Markets shift. Buyers evolve. And timing can change everything. We stay sharp, adjusting strategy, updating tactics, and applying real-time insights to your sale. This isn't about gimmicks or buzzwords. It's about staying relevant so your business stays valuable.

Collaboration

You've already got advisors, people you trust. We don't bulldoze that; we work with them. Accountants, lawyers, whoever's in your corner. We're aligned and we stay out of your way while doing what we do best.

Results-Focused

At the end of this, what matters is what you walk away with. Not just the cheque, but the outcome. Timing. Terms. Peace of mind. That's what we build toward. Everything else is just noise.
