About Blackmont

Boutique. Senior-led. Built for complexity.

Blackmont Advisory operates at the intersection of mid-market commerce and private capital. We work exclusively in the $10M–$50M range, a segment where sellers deserve more than a listing and buyers need more than a database.

Discretion as a foundation
All engagements are managed under strict confidentiality. Seller identities are never disclosed without prior consent and executed NDAs.
Senior advisors, every deal
There are no junior staff managing your transaction. Every mandate is handled at principal level from first meeting to closing.
Structure is our speciality
We don't just introduce parties. We structure transactions, navigating earnouts, vendor finance, mezzanine arrangements and equity rollovers.
01
Mid-market focus
The $10M–$50M range is underserved by the large investment banks and overlooked by generalist business brokers. We operate exclusively here, with the process rigour of an investment bank and the agility of a boutique.
02
Distressed asset capability
Beyond growth acquisitions, Blackmont has specific expertise in distressed asset transactions, with accelerated timelines, complex stakeholder dynamics, and creative structuring are central to what we do.
03
Off-market by design
We do not list businesses on public platforms. Our process is private, controlled, and directed at pre-qualified principals only. This protects sellers and ensures buyers encounter only serious, relevant opportunities.
For Business Owners

Your exit, managed with precision.

Selling a business of this scale requires more than finding a buyer. It requires a managed process, qualified counterparties, and a structuring capability that protects your outcome from first contact to final settlement.

01
Engagement & confidentiality
We begin with a mutual NDA and a confidential briefing. No information leaves the room without your sign-off.
02
Business assessment & valuation guidance
We assess your business against current market appetite and provide realistic valuation guidance, not numbers designed to win your mandate.
03
Information Memorandum preparation
Blackmont prepares a professional, investment-grade IM covering financials, operations, market position, and deal structure options.
04
Confidential buyer outreach
We approach our private network directly, with no public listings, no unsolicited enquiries, no breach of your commercial confidentiality.
05
Deal structuring & close
We negotiate, structure, and coordinate to settlement, working alongside your legal and accounting advisors throughout.

Our Buyer Network

Private capital, actively seeking.

Blackmont maintains an active, relationship-based network of qualified acquirers across three categories. These are not passive databases, they are principals with live mandates and committed capital.

I.
Family Offices
Multi-generational wealth vehicles with long investment horizons, low integration friction, and a preference for direct ownership of operating businesses. They move quietly, transact with discretion, and hold assets for the long term. Blackmont has established relationships with family offices across Australia and the UAE actively seeking businesses in the $10M–$50M range.
II.
Private Equity
Mid-market PE firms with platform and add-on acquisition mandates. They seek businesses with defensible market positions, recurring revenue, and competent management. Blackmont works with PE buyers who are structured, fast, and well-capitalised, with the due diligence capability to transact efficiently.
III.
HNW Individuals & Syndicates
High-net-worth principals and informal syndicates with the appetite for direct business acquisition. These buyers often move faster than institutional capital, accept more flexible structures, and are willing to engage on distressed or transitional businesses where others hesitate.
Active markets
Australia United Arab Emirates
Our network spans both the Australian mid-market and the UAE's growing appetite for international business acquisitions. Family offices and private equity in both markets are actively seeking businesses across manufacturing, services, healthcare, industrials, and distribution, precisely the sectors where Blackmont operates.

What buyers use Blackmont for
Off-market deal flow
Our sellers never go to market publicly. The deals we bring to buyers are exclusive, confidential, and unavailable through any other channel.
Pre-screened quality
Every opportunity is assessed before it reaches a buyer. You receive an investment-grade IM, not a brochure, and financial claims are verified, not self-reported.
Structuring support
Blackmont doesn't just make introductions. We work with both parties to model deal structures that close, bridging gaps between asking price and available capital.
Sector and geography mandates
Register your specific mandate, including industry, size range, structure preference, geography, and we will proactively match you when a relevant opportunity arises.
Distressed asset pipeline
For buyers with the appetite for complexity, Blackmont maintains a separate pipeline of distressed and transitional businesses requiring accelerated processes and creative capital solutions.
Deal Structuring

Structures that get deals done.

The right deal structure is what separates a closed transaction from a failed one. Blackmont works across a range of cash, equity and finance structures to align the interests of buyers and sellers, maximising outcome for both parties.

Structure Type 01
Cash Structures
Cash-based transactions provide sellers with certainty and a clean exit. The proportion of cash at completion depends on the buyer's capitalisation, the presence of institutional debt, and the negotiated terms of settlement. Blackmont structures cash components to maximise what lands in your hands at close.
Structure Type 02
Finance Structures
Finance arrangements including vendor finance, mezzanine debt and earnout components allow buyers to bridge capital gaps while enabling sellers to achieve a stronger headline price. These structures are tailored to the specific risk profile, timeline and appetite of both parties.
Structure Type 03
Equity Structures
Equity rollovers and retained stakes allow sellers to participate in the upside of the business post-acquisition. These structures are particularly common in private equity transactions where management continuity and shared incentive are valued by the incoming buyer.

Most transactions in the $10M to $50M range involve a combination of two or more of these structure types. Blackmont works with both parties to identify the combination that keeps the deal alive, protects the seller's outcome, and gives the buyer a credible path to settlement. Every structure is negotiated on its merits, not applied from a template.
