About
I look at a listing the way an owner does.
I'm Mark Galea. I've built, sold and run hospitality businesses for over a decade. Because I've been on the other side of the table, I know which numbers a seller leads with and which ones they hope you won't ask about.

Operating and selling cafés
I've operated and sold a number of cafés. That experience shapes how I assess a business: the numbers, the work required to run it and what a new owner is taking on.
Today
Today I run a successful eight-figure catering business with more than 180 staff.
An operator's perspective
I bring a practical operator's view of staffing, margins, leases and day-to-day performance. My reviews look beyond the headline profit to the wages, costs and commitments a buyer will inherit.
Working for the buyer
I work for the buyer, with no commission from sellers or brokers. My role is to give you a clear view of the operating risks before you commit, whether the answer is buy, renegotiate or walk away.
