Buying or selling, we'll get you business ready
Common questions
How do I buy a business in Gauteng?
You buy a business in Gauteng by choosing a budget and a sector you can run, browsing the listings, and registering as a buyer so a broker can match you to suitable businesses. When one interests you, you sign a confidentiality agreement before you receive its name and financial details. You then check the financial statements, tax status, lease, staff and customers in due diligence, make a written offer, and sign the sale agreement before the business is transferred. Rynhardt de Witt, a registered Aldes Business Broker in Alberton, guides buyers through each of these steps and handles the negotiation. Business Ready lists businesses across South Africa, so you can browse by province, sector and price, and ask for a confidential conversation about any listing. Every listing shows its asking price, turnover and profit.
How do I sell my business?
You sell your business by getting a confidential valuation, preparing your financial records, and listing the business with a registered business broker, who markets it without revealing its name. Interested buyers sign a confidentiality agreement before they see your financials, and the broker screens them and negotiates the offer. After you accept an offer the buyer does due diligence, and then the sale agreement is signed and the business is transferred. Business Ready uses the established Aldes methodology and process, so you do not spend hundreds of hours on the sale yourself. Contact Rynhardt de Witt on WhatsApp or by phone to arrange a confidential conversation about your business, and he will explain the steps, the records you will need, and what a realistic asking price looks like. The first conversation is confidential and carries no obligation.
