About GMO

Since 1983 the directors of Goodwin Mitchell O'Hehir & Associates, Jim Goodwin and Graham O'Hehir, have been actively involved in business sales and consultation. During that time they have negotiated the sales of businesses to a total value exceeding $450 million dollars.

The mix of businesses sold ranges from companies sold into public flotations on the Australian Stock Exchange, to quality retail outlets, smaller wholesale and manufacturing ventures, plus many service and franchise based businesses.

We prefer to market businesses with a value in excess of AUD$200,000 but do not exclude smaller enterprises with genuine growth prospects. Many of our sales are in businesses valued up to five million dollars. We are interested in any quality business which shows strong profitability or has the potential to become profitable. Graham O'Hehir also conducts valuations for selected clients.

Goodwin Mitchell O'Hehir & Associates has developed an outstanding team of consultants to ensure professional and ethical service for its extensive client base. People are the key element in corporate and business broking and our team of specialists confirms that view.
