What Nexus Business Sales does

Nexus Business Sales Ltd is a New Zealand-headquartered business brokerage and mid-market M&A advisory firm licensed under the Real Estate Agents Act 2008 (REAA 2008). Founded in 2013 and headquartered in Wanaka, the firm operates from offices in New Zealand, Australia, Indonesia, and Singapore, serving business owners and investors seeking to sell, acquire, or value businesses across sectors including hospitality, accommodation, retail, industrial, technology, resources, and healthcare. The company runs a traditional brokerage model without a proprietary technology platform, relying on website listings, CRM systems, and field-based licensed brokers to source, qualify, and close transactions.

The firm's product suite spans core business sales brokerage, mid-market M&A advisory through its Mandanex Capital arm (covering transactions from $5m to over $100m), professional business valuations performed by chartered accountants and AIBB registered valuers, business advisory services (financial review, due diligence, systems review, strategic positioning), deal structuring, international marketing across the ANZ-SE Asia region, and growth equity sourcing. Distribution is delivered through direct broker relationships in each market, supplemented by a referral pipeline via the REMAX Synrg partnership in Otago and confidential listing practices that protect seller identities during marketing.

Nexus generates revenue primarily through transaction commissions on completed business sales, supplemented by professional services fees for valuations, advisory, and deal structuring work. Pricing is quote-based with tailored marketing packages and not publicly disclosed. The firm is independently owned, with key directors Richard Hemingway and Sean Synnott holding significant ownership alongside affiliated entities across the Mandanex Capital Group network; no venture capital or institutional investment has been disclosed.
