DBB - Symred as trustee for the Lane Family Trust

Who we are Dbb Marine Business Brokers has a focus on assisting buyers and sellers of marine based businesses due to the uniqueness of the marine assets. We recognize the specific nature of marine assets and have extensive reach into the commercial marine markets. We are able to market businesses to a buyer base that is focused on commercial marine activity including, design houses, manufacturers, ship builders, OEMs, services, transport, tourism, offshore in businesses worth between $5 to $150 M in value. In larger sales processes we engage with the large accountancy firms leveraging their capacity and back room abilities. What we can do We have specialised skills that add significant value when preparing a business for sale. Neil holds extensive business banking and liquidation experience that is invaluable when considering all aspects of preparing the right information in the data room. Hence when we focus on the drive to the presentation phase in preparation for engaging our buyer groups there is confidence and clarity in the information required by credible business buyers. Couple John's maritime asset and business understanding, we can hone the data room to present a coherent business detail set, to put your business in the best light with the buyer audit process. Consider this ...... if the data presents well and the buyer's auditors (Deloittes, PWC etc) have little trouble finding what they need, it provides confidence the business is well run and that can translate into higher value offers. Our understanding and experience As owners start to consider retirement, the next generations have the ability to leverage off quality reputations and strengthening business financials. In the most part owners are keen to support their hard earned reputations and loyal followings with a period of transition to new owners which can ease the learning curve for the uninitiated buyers. DBB can provide details of such businesses to pre-qualified buyers (includes confidentiality agreements). Fwd bookings are always impacted by knowledge of the potential sale of a business and we are careful with regards to client exposure. That said frankly any business can be for sale at the right price. Due to the nature of the selling effort, we work on a small group of businesses at any time to focus capabilities. Our objective is to maximise hard earned effort for the once in life time opportunity to sell your business. No other business sale organisation globally applies these combinations of skills for marine based businesses.
