Frequently asked questions
Which areas do you cover on the Mid North Coast?
Port Macquarie, Wauchope, Laurieton, Camden Haven, Taree, Old Bar, Forster, Tuncurry, Harrington, Kempsey, South West Rocks and Crescent Head.
I want to sell my business in the next few years — when should we start?
Twelve to twenty-four months out. Most value is lost in due diligence over problems that were cheap to fix earlier: missing IP assignments, unsigned contracts, employee-versus-contractor exposure, unregistered leases and undocumented related-party arrangements.
Do you act for NDIS and aged care providers?
Yes — service agreements, worker screening and subcontracting arrangements, participant terms and provider compliance obligations.
How much does it cost?
Fixed fees, quoted upfront, the same as our metropolitan clients pay.
