Joanne Bush

I am entrepreneurial and motivated with 25+ years in marketing and sales. I’ll bring experience plus a personable, friendly ‘can do’ attitude to your business purchase or sale journey.

Besides working in various sectors including pharmacy, publishing, printing, engineering, manufacturing, insurance, retail, construction, and transport I have owned and run two SMEs myself: a successful PR and Advertising B2B agency in South Africa and a national franchised transport business here in NZ with 24 franchisees which I sold in 2021.

Having recently been a vendor (using a business broker) I understand both sides of the coin and the highs and lows of selling a business. During my own sale journey top priorities for me were working with someone who took the time to understand my business and the qualities a new owner needed, integrity, discretion, an appreciation for appropriate confidentiality and open and honest communication as the sale progressed. I would be most happy to offer you the same.

I am based in Christchurch and am available to talk to vendors across the South Island. My special interests are franchising, licensing and general SMEs. If you are thinking about selling your business at any stage please feel welcome to get in touch for an initial chat.
