Who We Are

Boutique. Senior-led. Relationship-driven.

A boutique M&A firm helping Australian business owners achieve well-run, properly negotiated exits. We work with a small number of clients at any time.

Personally managed

Each engagement is led personally by the principal, supported by a dedicated team.

Selective by design

We take on a limited number of mandates. Every client gets our full attention.

Relationship first

Our buyer relationships are direct and ongoing. We know who is acquiring and what they want.

Built for this range

Too large for generalist brokers. Too small for large firms. We built Blackmont specifically for this segment.

Sell-side primary

Advising business owners through a sale is our core work. Quietly, deliberately, and with the right people at the table.

International reach

We maintain direct relationships with international investors, who are actively seeking Australian businesses.

Our Edge

Direct access where it matters.

Our value is in the buyer relationships we've built over time and the discipline we apply to every process.

Active buyer mandates

We work with buyers who have live, funded acquisition mandates. When we approach a buyer on behalf of a seller, it's because we already know they're looking and we've already had the conversation.

II.

International relationships

Our international network, anchored in the UAE with reach across broader global investor pools, gives sellers access to capital that most local advisors never engage.

III.

Controlled execution

Targeted outreach, staged information release, qualified parties only. No public exposure, no unnecessary noise.

What We Do

Sell-side advisory. Select buy-side mandates.

Sell-side advisory is our primary focus. We also represent a small number of buyers with active acquisition mandates.

Positioning the business

We assess the business honestly and present it compellingly, financials, narrative, and deal structure, before a single buyer is approached.

Managing the process

We control the flow of information, manage buyer interactions, and keep the process moving. Vendors focus on running their business while we run the deal.

Negotiating outcomes

Price matters. So does structure, timing, and what happens at and after settlement. We negotiate all of it.

Sell-Side

Core service

From initial positioning through to settlement. Private by default — your business never goes on a listing platform.

Buy-Side

Select mandates

Capital-ready family offices, private investors, and strategic acquirers with defined mandates. We match them to relevant opportunities as they arise.

How We Work

A controlled process from first conversation to close.

Every deal we run follows the same deliberate approach.

Positioning the opportunity

A thorough assessment of the business, its value drivers, and the right buyer profile.

Preparing buyer-ready materials

Clear, accurate documentation structured for serious buyers, not to generate noise.

Direct outreach to aligned buyers

Direct, private outreach to aligned buyers. NDAs executed before any information is shared.

Managing discussions

We manage all buyer interactions and keep the process moving. Vendors stay focused on their business.

Negotiation and completion

Price, structure, and terms — negotiated alongside your legal and accounting advisors through to close.

What this looks like in practice

No public listings, ever

Every buyer is approached directly and under confidentiality. No listing platforms.

Qualified buyers only

Buyers are vetted on financial capability and fit before receiving any information.

Structure matters as much as price

Cash, earnouts, vendor finance, equity arrangements — we find what works for both parties.

Faster than you might expect

Direct relationships and a controlled process mean deals move without unnecessary delay.

Who We Work With

Established businesses. Capital-ready buyers.

We work with a specific type of client on both sides of a transaction. If you fit the profile below, we'd welcome a direct conversation.

Sellers

Business owners considering an exit

Founders and owners of established, profitable businesses between $10M and $30M in enterprise value, considering a full or partial exit. Early-stage conversations are welcome.

Buyers

Capital-ready and actively acquiring

Family offices, private investors, and strategic acquirers with funded, defined mandates. Registered buyers access opportunities before they are formally brought to market.

Family Offices

Long-horizon investors who prefer direct ownership. They move quietly, transact with deliberation, and represent a significant part of our active buyer network.

II.

Private Investors

High-net-worth individuals and syndicates who move quickly, accept flexible structures, and engage where others hesitate.

III.

Strategic Acquirers

Businesses acquiring for capability, geography, or market position — with the resources and discipline to close.

Global Access

Buyers engaged before businesses come to market.

In many cases, buyers are engaged before a business is formally brought to market. That is what direct, ongoing relationships look like in practice.

UAE

UAE buyer presence

Direct relationships with UAE-based investors actively seeking Australian businesses. Working relationships, not platform referrals.

Domestic network

Australian family offices, private investors, and strategic buyers who are actively acquiring. Many return to us first when a new mandate is live.

Broader global reach

Beyond the UAE, we engage investors across multiple international markets seeking quality Australian businesses.

Sectors of interest

Manufacturing Distribution Business Services Healthcare Industrials Construction Services Professional Services Technology

Most active across manufacturing, services, healthcare, industrials, and distribution. If your sector differs, a conversation is still worthwhile.

About Blackmont

Built out of frustration with how deals were being handled.

The $10M–$30M segment has always been an awkward fit. Too large for generalist brokers. Too small for large advisory firms to give it real attention.

The result is a junior advisor, a listing, and a process that drifts. Blackmont was built as the alternative.

Our philosophy

Know your buyers before you need them. Run a disciplined process. Tell clients what they need to hear. We'd rather decline a mandate than run one that won't close.

—

Discretion as a default

Every engagement is confidential from the first conversation. We don't discuss clients or publicise mandates.

—

A small firm by choice

We could take on more clients. The quality of our work depends on not doing so.
