Richard Roberts Business Broker

Richard Roberts brings hands-on knowledge of starting and running businesses, working through the difficult parts, and selling in a global market.
He worked out early in a corporate career that the entrepreneurial streak needed somewhere to go, and started an online business in his home town of Melbourne. It pivoted early from its original plan and product, which did not land, and settled into a model that worked. The business manufactures in China and ships worldwide, built around online B2B marketing and lead generation. It outgrew the Australian market quickly and now has a global customer base spanning small and large customers across many countries and industries. Richard partnered with a US company and continues to work with them on strategy and growth.
He follows trends in online and technology businesses closely and is genuinely curious about other people’s, which makes talking to owners and thought leaders the part of the job he enjoys. He prefers to come in early in a sale process, working through the who, how, what, when and why with an owner so the business is set up for a good outcome rather than a rushed one.
Richard is a father of two girls, travels, and is a sports and outdoors enthusiast.
