About Vendi &
Keppel Brown.

More than a business broker — a strategic deal maker.

What is Vendi?

Vendi isn't just another business brokerage — it's a smarter way to sell your business.

Founded on expertise, strategy, and a results-driven approach, Vendi helps business owners maximise value, secure the right buyer, and exit with confidence.

We don't simply wait for enquiries. We strategically position each business, identify and approach the right buyers, and structure deals designed to complete — not just list.

At the heart of Vendi is Keppel Brown, a business sales specialist with firsthand experience as a business owner, consultant, and dealmaker. He understands that selling a business isn't just about listing it — it's about positioning it correctly, structuring the right deal, and ensuring a smooth transition for both seller and buyer.

Why work with Vendi?

Most brokers take a passive approach, listing businesses and waiting for enquiries. Vendi does things differently — your business is sold proactively, strategically, and with your financial goals in mind.

Vendi doesn't just sell businesses — it helps buyers secure financing, navigate the purchase process, and close deals with confidence. That's why the Bank Cheat Sheet has become an essential resource for both sellers and buyers looking to streamline funding and avoid common financing pitfalls.

Keppel Brown.

I help business owners sell their businesses and achieve successful outcomes from start to finish. Before becoming a broker, I built, consulted on, and sold businesses myself, which gave me a clear understanding of what matters most to owners when it's time to sell.

Selling a business is one of the most important financial and personal decisions an owner will make, which is why it requires strategy, structure, and discretion. At Vendi, we don't just list businesses — we position them strategically, connect with the right buyers, and structure deals designed to complete.

Decades of practical business experience across ownership, sales, valuation and complex negotiation, including businesses that didn't sell the first time around. Every deal teaches something. Some move quickly and cleanly. Others require careful negotiation, creative deal structuring, and financial strategy to keep momentum alive. That experience allows me to guide each listing toward the strongest possible outcome.

I've built a trusted network of serious, financially qualified buyers who are ready to act. Successful business sales come down to knowing who is buying, what they're looking for, and when they're ready to move.

When you're selling what you've built, you need a partner who understands both the financials and the commercial logic driving the decision.

Clients value my clear communication, commercial judgement, and steady approach. I'm disciplined about confidentiality, direct in negotiation, and focused on achieving the best possible result.
