Guiding prospective buyers of sites into the industry

Our key focus is to be your business advisor, not just your business broker. We match you with the right partner and site, negotiating the best possible business solution, guiding you through the process of drawing up a business plan, due diligence compliance, application for finance, oil company interviews, fuel retail license approval - among other things. 

The PetroCONNECT Advisory, Legal and Finance team play a key role in understanding your needs, matching you to the right partner and/or site, negotiating the best possible business solution, guiding you through the process of drawing up a business plan, due diligence compliance, applying for finance, oil company interview preparations, fuel retail license approval - among other things. Furthermore, poor, or biased service from brokers in the industry has made it difficult for young entrepreneurs to enter the dealer network. Our key focus is to be your business advisor, not your business broker. After a successful change of ownership, we continue our supporting role throughout your journey supported by the various divisions of PetroCONNECT connecting you with the right people.
