20 Years Building, Growing and Selling Successful Businesses

I'm a Business Broker with the Jason Still Team at Barker Business Brokerage, focused on helping owners of businesses valued between $500K and $5M sell with confidence and helping the right buyers find them.

My background is in Finance and Accounting, and I spent time in Commercial and Corporate Banking before moving into business ownership. For the past 20 years I've worked alongside Jason Still, building and selling successful businesses together, from developing multiple retail stores and project managing fit-outs across New Zealand, to wholesaling and importing consumer goods, and running a construction business. Between the group of businesses, we were turning over $15 million plus in annual revenue.

I've also owned and operated my own businesses and sold them successfully.

Outside of the office, I'm a mother of five and, most recently, a proud new grandmother. Family keeps me grounded and gives me a genuine appreciation for what's at stake when someone hands over a business they've built.

My/Approach

Selling a business well takes more than a listing. It takes the right preparation, the right buyers, and a process that protects your confidentiality throughout.

The Owner's Advantage

Your business isn't just an asset. It's the result of years of decisions, risk, hard work and investment.

My job is to make sure that value is understood, protected and presented in the strongest possible way.

Selling a business isn't something I believe should be approached with a "put it on the market and see what happens" mentality.

Before we approach the market, I want to understand the business, understand you as the owner, understand what you're trying to achieve and identify what a buyer will see when they look at the opportunity.

Because the way a business is prepared and positioned can have a significant impact on the quality of buyers it attracts, the offers it generates and ultimately the outcome for the vendor.

01

Proper Appraisal

Every engagement starts with a clear-eyed, honest valuation, so you know what your business is really worth before it goes anywhere near the market.

02

Confidential Process

Your sale stays confidential from staff, competitors and customers until you're ready. I manage every disclosure carefully throughout.

03

Qualified Buyer Matching

I work to bring genuinely qualified, motivated buyers to the table, rather than opening your business up to time-wasters.

My/Results

Track Record

Team performance, measured

60%+
of transactions achieve above asking price
27%
the highest premium achieved above asking price
80%+
of vendors receive multiple signed Sale & Purchase Agreements
~90%
contract-to-settlement conversion rate

These outcomes are the result of a repeatable system built around competitive tension, buyer psychology, and structured execution, materially above industry averages, not one-off transactions.

Sarith guided us through every step with clarity and confidence. Her understanding of the childcare sector made all the difference.

Working with Sarith was an easy process. She kept me updated every step and worked hard to secure multiple offers. I really appreciated her clear communication and would recommend her if you are looking to sell.
