One operator. Not a firm of juniors.
The person in the first meeting is the person who builds the model, writes the report, and sits in the room when the price is argued.
Anthony Edwards · Founder & Principal · Melbourne
Ten years pricing deals. Now on your side of the table.
Anthony Edwards spent ten years in real estate — funds management and private equity — inside teams that priced, structured and negotiated more than $1.5 billion of transactions, on both sides of the table.
That world runs on evidence: what a business is actually worth, whether its profit repeats, and what a buyer can genuinely afford to pay. Balfene points that discipline at Australian owner-led businesses — the ones usually told their deal is too small to matter.
There is no team of juniors. The person in the first meeting is the person who builds the model, writes the report, and sits in the room when the price is argued. Advising under Balfene since 2019.
Priced, structured and negotiated inside funds-management and private-equity teams, with the firm’s own money at stake.
Owner-led businesses, founders, family offices and boards, across Australia.
A day rate for projects. A fixed monthly price for plug-in finance. A percentage of the sale for selling the business.
No product to sell you, no lender to please, no deal that has to close for the fee to be earned.
