14 years in the making and now it could be yours.

The Oxford Bistro is one of those rare businesses that has it all. Award winning, profitable and genuinely loved by the community. Centrally located with the coast and countryside on your doorstep.

With a $50M heritage hub about to open nearby and room to grow, the timing couldn't be better.

This is what work-life balance actually looks like.

If an exit is on your horizon, start with your accountant.

Get the numbers right. Build forecasts. Map the timing. A well-structured plan 12–24 months out can materially change your outcome.

Even six extra months of strong trading can shift EBITDA and significantly lift value.

The question is simple: would you hold on if it meant adding real dollars to your sale price?

Let’s plan it properly.

Rushing to market can cost you more than you think.

An extra six months of strong trading can shift the weighting of your numbers, lift EBITDA and materially increase value, sometimes by hundreds of thousands.

If you’ve got a year, even better.

Don’t ease off. Push sales. Protect momentum. Every strong month compounds your position, for you and for a buyer.

Vendor finance can be a strategic lever in the right deal.

It’s where the seller leaves part of the purchase price in the business as a loan to the buyer, rather than receiving the full amount upfront.

Done properly, it signals confidence in the business, expands the pool of capable buyers, and can strengthen the overall sale price.

It’s not suitable for every transaction. But as part of a well-planned exit strategy, it’s a structure worth understanding.

We’ll help you assess when it adds leverage and when a clean break is the better move.

If one client makes up 40% or more of your revenue, that's a red flag for buyers.

Not because your business isn't good. But because if that client leaves after you do, the business looks very different.

Customer concentration risk is one of the first things serious buyers look at. The good news? It's fixable but not overnight.

If you're thinking about selling in the next 2 years, now is the time to diversify your revenue base.
We can help you identify the gaps and plan around them.

Two businesses can earn the same $300K.

One owner works 60 hours a week. The other works 15.

They are not worth the same.

Buyers pay more for a business that runs efficiently, with systems in place and less reliance on the owner. When the hard work is already done, risk drops and value rises.

Build it to run without you, and you create time, freedom, and a stronger sale price.

Selling a café? Different playbook than selling a plumbing business.

Hospitality: Buyers look at foot traffic, lease terms, fit out costs, and your reputation in the local dining scene. Turnover is key. Margin matters, but volume tells the story.

Trade: Buyers want to see recurring contracts, a skilled team, gear that's been maintained, and systems that run without the owner on every job. Relationship strength with suppliers and repeat clients is everything.

Every industry has its own valuation drivers. Tabak knows them all because we've sold hundreds of NZ businesses across every sector.

If you're thinking about selling, talk to someone who understands your industry.

One of the biggest fears we hear from sellers: "What if my staff find out? What if my customers leave?"

It's a legitimate concern and it's exactly why confidentiality is built into everything we do.

From how we market your business to how we qualify buyers, Tabak manages every step to protect what you've built while you find the right person to take it over.

Selling doesn't have to be stressful. It starts with the right team.

Selling a business isn’t a quick decision. It’s a process.

Start by bringing your advisers into the conversation, especially your accountant. Do your homework. Understand what’s involved.

Whether you’re ready now, next year, or five years out, clarity changes outcomes.

The earlier you understand the process, the better positioned you’ll be when the time is right.

The best time to prepare your business for sale is five years before you exit. The second best time is today.

Too many NZ owners wait until they’re ready to walk away, only to realise the issues buyers care about can’t be fixed quickly.

If selling is even a future possibility, start now. A simple, no-obligation conversation could add real value when the time comes to move on.
