So special to see Shell Bra Fitting Studio thriving in its new chapter in Hamlyn Terrace. 🐚✨

We loved receiving this message and these gorgeous photos from the new owner, Ann-Maree Olivieri, who purchased the business from the wonderful Michelle Barker through ConnectBiz.

"I took over Shell Bra Fitting Studio in October. I’ve been absolutely loving this new chapter.
Learning, growing and welcoming so many beautiful women into the studio has been incredibly rewarding.
A big thank you to Jilly Pilon and Mic Pilon, who supported both me and the previous owner through the business purchase and made the transition feel smooth and supported. I’m so excited about what’s ahead and thankful for the support along the way."

There's something really meaningful about handing a business from one passionate owner to another - preserving the heart of the brand, in this case, empowering women one bra fit at a time.

Congratulations to both Michelle and Ann-Maree on a smooth transition and an exciting future ahead. This is exactly why we do what we do. If you or anyone you know would be interested in some special lingerie or a personalised fitting, please reach out to Ann-Maree. Valentine's Day is just around the corner. ❤️

💡 We Aim to SELL, Not Just LIST

Too many business brokers still follow the old way: list it, hope for calls, then push for price drops when the market doesn’t respond.
At ConnectBiz, we do things differently.
We focus on preparation, positioning, and genuine buyer relationships — so your business is ready to be bought, not just listed.
It’s time to move beyond the old way of doing things.
We don’t just list — we sell.

🌊A tidal shift is coming for Australian business owners.🌊

As Baby Boomers approach retirement, we’ll see more businesses for sale than ever before.

For every serious buyer, there are now multiple sellers competing for attention — meaning the best-prepared businesses will stand out.

✅ Systems that run smoothly

✅ Teams that perform independently

✅ Clear financials and transferable value

These are the keys to attracting strong buyers and a successful sale.

Mic and I were so impressed with Geoffery Farrell's presentation at BNI Presidential last week in North Sydney, where he had the opportunity to share a bit about who we are at ConnectBiz— and our progressive approach to selling businesses.

At ConnectBiz, our focus is simple: We SELL businesses, Not just LIST them.

Too many brokers are caught up in the OLD way — chasing listings, charging high upfront fees, and skipping over the essential work of preparation and strategy. That approach leaves most business owners disappointed… and part of the statistic that says 70–80% of businesses that go to market in Australia never sell.

Our NEW way is built on ethics, strategy and results — helping business owners prepare properly, attract qualified buyers, and achieve successful outcomes. We call it “The New Way of Selling a Business”, and it’s changing the game for Australian business owners.

If you’re thinking about selling in the next few years and want to understand how to prepare your business to be one of the 25% that actually sell — let’s chat.

Well done Geoff, we love having you in our Team.

Geoff is excited to be presenting how ConnectBiz is changing the way that business sales are done in Australia at BNI Presidential this Friday morning at The Rydges Hotel, North Sydney! Focussing on Ethics, Transparency and with the goal in mind of SELLING businesses, NOT just Listing them.

Message us if you are interested in attending this event full of top class business owners and people!

Why 90% of businesses going to market don’t actually sell
.. and how one man is flipping those stats.

This Friday, October 3rd at BNI Presidential, Geoff Farrell from CONNECTBIZ is exposing the uncomfortable truth about business sales - and showing exactly how he’s rewriting the rules.

🎯 Here’s a brutal reality: Most business brokers just list and hope. Geoff actually SELLS businesses through strategy, integrity, and end-to-end management.

What makes this unmissable:

✅ Real business owner perspective – Not a career broker, but someone who’s built and sold businesses himself

✅ Ethical approach that works – Proving that doing right by clients drives better results

✅ Game-changing statistics – How ConnectBiz is flipping the failure rate that plagues traditional broking

✅ Full-process transparency – What it really takes to get a deal across the line

Geoff isn’t just aiming to change the business sales game - he’s already doing it. His team is reshaping business broking in Australia by focusing on what matters: getting businesses sold, not just listed.

Essential for: Business owners planning exit strategies, accountants, bookkeepers, financial planners, commercial lawyers, business coaches, and anyone in the business advisory ecosystem.

👇 Join us Friday, October 3rd at one of Sydney’s premiere networking events to discover why traditional business broking is broken - and how one team is fixing it with integrity and results.
