A business that is “sale ready” is inevitably also a business worth holding onto. Australian Bookkeepers Network (ABN) Director Peter Thorp, says that a business that is truly sale ready is likely to be delivering its owner good profits, a satisfying work mix, great clients to work with, and importantly a better quality of life.

In our Build Grow Succeed (your way) Digital Event, we look at the elements that make a business more valuable and more saleable. The most highly saleable of businesses possess these elements; but interestingly those elements also build businesses that you are happy to continue to own as they offer rewarding and enjoyable work, great financial returns and an asset that continues to grow in value.

The Digital Event will give you some valuable tips to improve the value of your business irrespective of when you're planning to exit it.

Amongst the Christmas todo lists and the end of year client wrap ups, make sure you finish the year strong and compliant by completing your QMS before you log off for 2025!

Recent survey data identified around 60% of BAS Agents still haven’t got a completed Quality Management System — even though it’s mandatory under the Code of Professional Conduct.

Why should you act before year-end?
✔️ Compliance: a QMS is mandatory under the Code.
✔️ Renewal confidence: your 2026 TPB declaration rests on having it documented.
✔️ Clean slate: roll into January with your QMS done and a maintenance plan set.

The EASIEST way to complete your QMS before the year's end is with ABN's QMS Intensive. Find out more and get access here: qmsintensive.com.au

Before you tick "Yes" on your TPB Renewal, READ THIS! đź‘€

The TPB Registration Renewal now requires you to declare you comply with the Code and aren’t making a false or misleading statement on your renewal.

However, recent survey data identified around 60% of BAS Agents still haven’t got a completed Quality Management System — even though it’s mandatory under the Code of Professional Conduct.

So now is the time to finish 2025 strong and start 2026 with confidence.
