Optional add-on

Add an hour with Michelle Knights

The toolkit gives you the process and the documents. A consultation gives you an answer on your own practice — from a licensed broker who prices firms like yours for a living.

What we cover
One hour, on your transaction
  • Where your practice is likely to sit on value, and what is driving that figure
  • What to prepare first, and in what order, before you approach anyone
  • Where the risks sit in your particular situation
  • Whether running it yourself is the right call — including when it is not

By phone or video, at a time that suits you. Michelle will tell you plainly what she would do if the practice were hers.

How to add it
Tick the box at checkout

Select the consultation option above before you add the toolkit to your cart. It is optional — the toolkit stands on its own.

After purchase, email your preferred times to broking@robknightsbroking.com.au and we will confirm a time that suits.

Why it matters

A practice transaction is a six-figure decision. Don't run it on guesswork.

What's at stake without it
×
Leaving money on the table

Pricing a practice you only sell once, with no benchmark to anchor the figure or test an offer against.

×
Deals that stall or unravel

Missing a step, a document or a condition — and watching a transaction fall over late in the process.

×
Caught out by the rules

Recent ATO and TPB changes affect how transactions are structured and timed. Missing them is costly.

What this toolkit gives you
✓
A clear view of value

Understand how practices are priced and where yours is likely to sit — backed by decades of valuation experience.

✓
The full process, mapped

Know every stage, document and decision in advance, with templates ready to use at each point.

✓
Current, expert guidance

Drawn from a licensed broker's day-to-day work, including where the latest ATO and TPB changes apply.

Who it's for

Built for owners running their own transaction

This toolkit gives you the same structure and documents a broker would use — for situations where managing it yourself makes sense.

This toolkit suits you if

You're handling it yourself

You're buying or selling a smaller practice and want to manage the transaction directly — with expert structure behind you, rather than working it out as you go.

Prefer it managed?

We can run it for you

If you're selling a larger firm, or would rather have the process handled end to end, Rob Knights Practice Broking manages transactions directly.

No-nonsense, factual and, refreshingly, not a sales pitch. A good mix of facts and experience-based tips.
