Key Business and Commercial Sales

We used Lee to sell our business after the previous broker had no luck selling after 12 months. Lee said he would sell our business and that's what he did. I would recommed Lee to sell your business if you want a fast and hassle free sale.

We met Lee while looking for a business and while we did not go ahead this time, we were very impressed with his attention to detail and level of assistance. We would definitely recommend Lee and go through him in future.

When my wife and I started looking to buy a business on the Sunshine Coast I contacted Lee from Key Businesses. Lee took the time to really dig down into what we were looking for, on a personal level, not just in terms of the dollars. The very professionally written business profiles that he sent to us covered all of the important information that we needed to determine if we wanted to have a closer look. He is a great communicator and a great facilitator. When we found the one we wanted Lee went above and beyond to make sure our offer hit the right balance between what we and the seller were wanting to achieve. Lee has a wealth of business knowledge and has hundreds of great contacts. I would not hesitate when to use Lee should we wish to list or buy another business, TALK ABOUT PROFESSIONALISM!! … Lee is your guy.

My husband and I used Lee to sell our business of 15 years. Lee advised us how best to list our business and provided clear directives how to find the right buyer. My husband was particular about who should buy our business so that our customers weren’t let down and Lee ensured that we got the right buyer. It’s one month on from the sale and the buyer is right into the swing of it all, and my husband is happy. Thanks Lee, regards Michelle

Lee had contacted us more than two years ago looking to list our business but we were not ready at that time, he persisted and stayed in touch with us until we were in a position to list the business.
Lee kept the sale strictly confidential as requested and maintained a highly professional approach to the sale of our business.
I can only speak highly of Lee and his support to us through the sale process.
Well done indeed and I highly recommend Lee if your looking for a solid and honest broker to deal with.

Lee has been terrific throughout the sale of our business. We had numerous interested parties which he vetted for us. After just a few months he found a buyer and was able to negotiate and secure what ended up being a very difficult and stressful sale process with the buyer. Lee continued to provide valuable assistance throughout the sale right up to settlement. I'm certain that if not for the efforts of Lee, the sale may not have gone through.

Lee from Key Business Brokers was a pleasure to deal with. We had fantastic service and support from Lee, making it an easy transition for us moving from New Zealand to buying a business on the Sunshine Coast. We had exceptional support from Lee throughout the whole process. Everything was dealt with professionally. He was informative and helpful and guided us through the process with ease. Top broker, we would highly recommend Lee to anyone buying or selling.

Lee Elson was extremely professional and worked absolutely with the highest integrity .
I had been approached numerous times to sell my Business which always ended up with no conclusive price for both the sale of the Business or a set commission .
With Lee within 1/2 hour we had agreed upon Sale Price set Commission price and within 4 days Lee had a prospective Buyer.
Lee sold the Business as agreed on within a few weeks , his knowledge of the Sunshine Coast Business Industry is impeccable and his approach to understanding the right Buyer was essential so as to not waste the sellers or Buyers time.
I would highly recommend Lee and look forward to working with him again in the near future.
A job well done Thank you Lee .

Lee has just sold our business for us. We had been trying to sell for some time with another broker with no luck.
We approached Key Business to see what they could do!
We had a "sold" result within weeks!!
Lee was very thorough and honest in his assessment of our business. Guided us will with the process and we would be happy to recommend Lee to anyone wanting to sell their business.
Give him a go.

LEE DID A GREAT JOB IN SELLING OUR BUSINESS KEPT US IN THE LOOP AT ALL TIMES .WORDS CAN NOT EXPLAIN HOW THRILLED WE WERE WITH HIS EFFORTS

Lee from Key Business Brokers approached the sale of our business in a dedicated and professional manner unlike other business brokers that promise and don't deliver. Lee was very proffessional and delivered the result that we wanted. Happy to recommend to anyone trying to sell their business.

If I could give 10 stars I would, Lee is a master at the game. We had an offer on the table within 24 hours of advertising and settled less than 6 weeks later with cash in the account. Effortless, efficient and exceptional process dealing with Lee from the start.

Delivered a great result in the sale of my business. Lee proved to be skilled, in comforting & guiding both the buyer and myself through the business sale process. I would highly recommend Lee & Key Business Sales to any prospective business sellers looking for a capable and qualified agent.

Lee helped us find the perfect lifestyle business following my departure from the corporate life. We have been very well looked after and the communication has been brilliant following up on several other business opportunities. If you are looking for help with a Sunshine Coast business venture, Lee is your guy.

Lee was great to deal with and he DELIVERS. After having our restaurant on the market for a long time with no bites, minimal feedback and little hope we listed with Lee. He never gave up, kept us informed and in the end brokered a deal that we were very happy with. Thanks again Lee.

Lee from Key Businesses has the local knowledge, contacts and expertise to help you get results, whether selling or buying your business on the Sunshine Coast. My experience of dealing with Lee has always had positive outcomes with helpful and insightful advice. I highly recommend Key Businesses

Some time back i decided to sell my business to retire. However, after approaching several business brokers i realized that the brokers i spoke too were not experienced enough to understand the business i was selling nor did they have a clue as to where they could secure a buyer for this type of business. Fortunately, a business friend advised me to contact Lee Elson -the owner of Key Business and Commercial Sales on the Sunshine Coast. Two days later i retired as the business was sold to a NZ couple -at my asking price and completely drama free. if you have an unusual business or any business you want to sell- Key Business and Commercial Sales is your only sensible choice.

After disappointing results listing our business for sale, a friend recommended Key Business Brokers. Lee , was our advocate, and despite, having things put on hold because of Covid, Lee kept working on our sale for nearly 9 months. He was straight up and down and did not give us unrealistic expectations, no sugary salesman stuff, just professional determination. He then guided us through the negotiations and got us a fair deal.

Lee Elson of Key Businesses sold our property maintenance business.

Unlike other business brokers we spoke with (one of whom had our business listed for over two years without selling it!) Lee Elson actually understood what our business offered to the ultimate buyer.

If you have a great business for sale, I recommend you speak with Lee Elson. I believe that if Lee ‘gets’ your business, Lee will be able to find ‘that’ buyer – the ultimate buyer.

A professional business broker understands that their role is about connecting sellers and buyers – it sounds obvious, but not all brokers get it. Lee Elson completely understands that part of his role. We are very happy with the sale of our business AND very happy with the people who have bought our business.

Lee did a great job of matching the right buyer to the right business.

Lee Elson also understood that with our business there were two sellers – and Lee was very respectful of the role that my wife, Sharon played in the business – and in the decisions relating to the sale of our business.

When you are considering listing your business for sale, remember Lee Elson is a business person, too. Lee’s business relies on selling businesses, not just listing them. So, if you want to actually sell your business, call Lee Elson. (And listen to what Lee says)

And if you are looking to buy, let Lee Elson know what it is you are looking for – Lee may be able to help.

Lastly, I am happy to recommend Lee Elson, personally. If you contact Lee to let him know that you read this referral and would like to speak with me direct, I am happy for Lee to pass my contact number on to you.

Cheers,
Joe Brennan
