- Coordination of the Change of Provider and transfer of the service approval at settlement

How We Help
Talisha Long advises owners across the full sale process, from an honest early conversation about whether now is the right time, through preparing the business, to introducing it discreetly to the right buyers. Every engagement is confidential and tailored to your circumstances.
Because Talisha works with buyers as well as sellers, she often knows who is actively looking and what they want. That means a centre can be introduced quietly to a shortlist of qualified buyers rather than advertised to the whole market, which protects your team, your families and your standing while you decide.
We keep the framing simple and honest: this is advice and introductions, not a promise of a particular price or buyer. Our focus is on giving you clarity, control and a smooth handover that preserves the goodwill you have built.

Frequently asked questions
Can I sell without staff and families finding out?
Usually, yes. A confidential process approaches only qualified buyers, under non-disclosure, and releases information in stages. Many owners sell without a public listing so their team and families are not unsettled before anything is certain.
How do you find buyers if the centre is not advertised?
Talisha works with buyers as well as sellers and maintains a national network built over more than 30 years, so she is often already aware of who is actively looking and what they want. The centre is introduced quietly to a shortlist rather than the whole market.
What happens with approvals when I sell?
The buyer generally needs provider approval, and the service approval is transferred to them. It is not automatic and the requirements vary by state or territory, so planning the change of provider early helps settlement go smoothly.
