Market Insights: Choosing the Right Wollongong Business Broker Matters 

When deciding who to trust with the sale of your business, real market performance matters more than promises. 
At MMJ Business Sales, we maintain monthly records of listings and sales from 25 brokers (local & Sydney-based) operating across the Illawarra region, giving us a data-driven understanding of local market trends. 

According to our FY25 data: 

• MMJ Business Sales represented around 25% of all Illawarra business listings, 
• Achieved 45% of all successful settlements,
• And maintained an average listing value of $753,000 – 334% greater than the average of all tracked competitors.  

While some Sydney-based brokers advertise in the region, our results show that local relationships, buyer trust, and on-the-ground service are key to achieving successful outcomes. 

At the same time, MMJ Business Sales offers the reach and marketing capability of a national network, with partners across Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth. This allows us to promote Illawarra businesses to interstate buyers and investors — without compromising the personal service and face-to-face communication our clients value. 

These insights aren’t about competition — they’re about transparency. They demonstrate that when business owners partner with a trusted Wollongong business broker who understands both the local and national landscape, the path to a successful sale becomes much clearer.

Our process to maximise your chance at a successful sale: 

1. Complimentary Business Appraisal: In-depth analysis of your trade data, assets & market positioning – benchmarked against a database of 180+ comparative sales to establish an objective, fair-market ask price. Our annual reports indicate that 83% of our sales transact within our quoted appraisal range. 

2. Strategy Development & Professional Marketing: Establishing your target buyer & determining the best advertising strategy– a high yield public campaign, discreet & direct outreach, or an efficient off-market sale. We have access to a full suite of premium advertising platforms, as well as to our database of over 7,000 qualified buyers. Your business deserves quality marketing to attract quality buyers – from professional photography, 3D Virtual Tours to our A-class 28+-page prospectus document.  

3. Diligent Lead Management: All buyers are phone-vetted, qualified & required to complete a confidentiality agreement before they learn the name of your business. We understand that your trade information is sensitive and should only go to the right people. Each fortnight, you will receive a report detailing all correspondence and updates with your buyers. Inspections & meetings will be attended by us at a time that suits your schedule. We’re always available to catch up & have a chat.  

4. Expert Negotiation: The complexity of an offer can vary wildly depending on your size, industry and model. Our team are experts in helping you understand the potential benefits or challenges of certain conditions – as well as negotiating terms for a win-win solution.  

5. Closing the Deal: Once all parties are on the same page and happy to proceed, we will assist your legal team/other stakeholders with getting the deal across to settlement. When that day comes, the champagne is on us. Congratulations!
