What Link Business Melbourne does

Link Business Melbourne is the Victorian franchise office of LINK Business Brokers, an Australasian business brokerage network founded in 1996. Operating under the trading name LINK Business Brokers Melbourne via Consolidated Realty Group Pty Ltd (Estate Agent Licence VIC 087378L), the firm provides intermediary services for SMB and franchise owners seeking to buy or sell businesses across the Victoria region. The core service offering consists of two complementary flows — 'Selling Your Business' and 'Buying a Business' — supported by professional Business Value Appraisals (delivered by a Registered Business Valuer), franchise sales brokerage, and a premium LINK Corporate Brokers tier for transactions valued at $2 million or more. The product surface is light on technology: two self-service online calculators (Business Value Calculator, Business Affordability Calculator), an email-alert system that matches registered buyers with newly listed businesses, and a Knowledge Hub content repository of articles, market reports, brochures, and case studies. No APIs, proprietary software platforms, AI/ML capabilities, or third-party integrations are disclosed.

The firm's go-to-market is sales-led and broker-driven. Approximately twenty-plus named brokers, including licensed estate agents and a Registered Business Valuer, work directly with business owners and prospective acquirers across Victoria to value, market, qualify buyers, negotiate, and close transactions. Marketing is delivered through a multi-channel digital stack comprising corporate website/SEO, an active presence on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube, and content marketing via the Knowledge Hub, with referrals and word-of-mouth cited as a key bottom-of-funnel channel. Revenue is generated entirely through commissions on successful business and franchise sales; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The business is privately held within the LINK franchise network and does not publicly report revenue, funding, or M&A activity.
