About Us
Buyer Representation
Done Properly
Summit Acquisitions Group exists for one reason:
To represent buyers – not sellers — in the acquisition of profitable Australian businesses.
Most transactions are driven by brokers representing the seller.
We sit on the other side of the table.
We run a disciplined acquisition process designed to:
• Protect buyer capital
• Eliminate emotional decisions
• Strengthen negotiation leverage
• Reduce avoidable risk
• Ensure commercial reality matches financial claims
This is not brokerage.
This is structured buyer representation.

FAQ's
frequently asked questions
Understanding how structured buyer representation works.
How are your fees structured?
Our engagement is structured in phases:
• Acquisition engagement (strategy & search)
• Success-based fee upon completed acquisition
Exact terms are discussed during the strategy call and depend on acquisition size and scope.
We are paid by the buyer, never the seller.
What size businesses do you work with?
We typically work with profitable Australian businesses that align with the buyer’s financial capacity and strategic goals.
Fit is determined during the strategy call.
Do you guarantee I will acquire a business?
No.
We guarantee disciplined process and representation, not forced transactions.
If a deal does not meet criteria or risk thresholds, we will advise against proceeding.
Do I need to inspect the business myself?
Yes.
We require buyers to physically inspect and validate any business before proceeding to completion.
Spreadsheets do not replace operational reality.
Site visits are a critical part of disciplined acquisition.
Do you provide legal or tax advice?
No.
At due diligence stage, we coordinate with independent accountants and M&A lawyers who provide formal financial, tax, and legal advice.
We guide the commercial process but do not provide regulated advice.
Who is not a fit?
Buyers who:
• Want to “browse” casually
• Are unwilling to conduct site visits
• Are not financially prepared
• Expect quick, emotional deals
We work with committed buyers.
