Where do I start... what do I say about these guys.... As far as I am concerned, Rod Russell and the Team at Savvy Business are the only Business Brokers on the coast FULLSTOP.

When I first started looking for a business on the coast, I emailed enquired on 17 different businesses and only heard back from 5.

Savvy was one of them. So many time wasters in this industry, but not @ Savvy. If you are serious about buying or selling and don't want to be ripped off or waste your time with lies & rubbish and just want the best of the best, then stop your search because you have found them.

They only deal with proper businesses, not make believe, unicorns and fantasy land. Just proper deals that make money day one. I have bought 2 businesses off Rod & then Rod has sold both for me as well and I couldn't be happier.

Yes I worked hard to build them up, but Rod, Jess and the team have been a crucial element in my life to allow me to retire @ 45 and spend time with my family. Great people, amazing abilities, genuine bloke you would happily have a beer with but mate does he have the goods to back it up.

Bloody Legends!!!

Our family recently purchased a business through Mat Crause, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations.
From start to finish, Mat was the consummate professional—honest, reliable, transparent, and truly a man of his word. His integrity, knowledge, and commitment made what could have been a stressful process feel seamless and enjoyable.
It's rare to come across someone who genuinely cares about their clients and follows through on every promise. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.
We highly recommend Mat Crause to anyone looking to buy or sell a business. We look forward to working with him again when the time comes to purchase our next business. Thank you, Mat!

I can’t recommend Joe Kack and the team at Savvy Business Sales highly enough. As the founder of a digital agency, I regularly refer clients to Joe when they’re buying or selling a business because I know they’ll receive honest advice, sharp commercial insight, and outstanding service.

Joe is exceptionally professional, responsive, and genuinely invested in achieving the best possible outcome for his clients. He has a deep understanding of the business sales market on the Sunshine Coast and across Queensland, and consistently goes above and beyond to secure strong results and the right fit for both buyers and sellers.

If you’re looking for a trusted business broker in Maroochydore / Mooloolaba / Buderim who combines integrity with real commercial expertise, Joe at Savvy Business is the person to call. I trust him completely with my clients and would not hesitate to recommend him.

Mat Crause delivered a great experience in our purchase of a specialised fabrication and installation business. From the first conversation through to settlement, he handled every stage of the transaction with calm confidence, clear communication, and genuine expertise. What stood out most was his transparency and professionalism — no surprises, no pressure, just a well‑managed process that made the acquisition feel straightforward. As a buyer, I would confidently recommend him to anyone seeking a smooth transaction.

- R. Brown (Buyer)

Mat from Savvy was an absolute pleasure to deal with; he is a man of his word, he is sensitive and has a way of negotiating with both sellers and buyers to create a situation where all concerned know that they are in trusting hands and that he has their best interest at heart . I highly recommend Mat as a business broker.

- P. Disher

This is the third time we have bought a business through Savvy Business and Mat Crause was exceptional in his dealings with us. Nothing was too much trouble and he was proactive during all phases of it. We felt he was transparent and honest through out the whole process. Probably won't be buying another business but would certainly go back if we did. Best wishes Mat.

- G. Brook

Mat has been extremely helpful and responsive from the day we enquired about selling our business. Nothing is too much of a hassle for him. He matched us with a suitable buyer and the whole process went smoothly! I would highly recommend Mat from Savvy to anyone who is planning on selling the business.

- N. Zhao

We luckily chose Mat Crause blindly when looking for a broker to sell our business! How lucky were we! Though he also had a common sense approach that others seemed to lack just from our inital talks with a few brokers! Selling a business is a rollercoaster of emotions, but we were glad to have Mat by our side for the ride! Our business sold within a few months from offer to settlement, to the 2nd person to put in an offer off market through their amazing network. How lucky were we to find a great business broker and team in Savvy Business!

- A. von Einem

I've known Rod for over 20 years and have bought more than one business from him. I've always found Rod to be very professional - his market knowledge is second to none and he's always my first port of call when I'm looking for advice on buying or selling. I highly recommend Rod.

- K. Moore

Working with Mat Crause was an exceptional experience from start to finish. He was transparent, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable throughout the entire process of selling us the business. Every question we had was answered thoroughly, and he made what could have been a stressful transaction feel seamless and straightforward. The business was exactly as represented, and Mat went above and beyond to ensure a smooth transition. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome and are grateful for his honesty and integrity. Highly recommend working with Mat if you ever get the chance!

We recently sold our business through Mat Crause at Savvy Business. Dealing with Mat we found him very professional, approachable, upfront and honest. He guided us through the whole process and he constantly kept us updated through out. Without Mat we truly believe we would not have sold our business at all. He really knows his “stuff”. We would totally recommend Matt to anyone thinking of selling their business. Thanks Mat!

- J. Blake

Mat Crause worked with us to sell our business…. Throughout the whole process he was engaged, professional, always friendly and honest. It was obvious that he was experienced, knowledgeable and we were able to relax knowing he was working for us. Most of all… he was encouraging and supportive. I would recommend his services.

Working with Mat at Savvy Business was a great experience, he was always available and able to guide me through selling my first business succesfuly.
