The Story

Australia's most recognised authority on building businesses to sell.

Anthony Bell learned how to build businesses to sell through experience. After leaving value on the table in his first exit in 2003, he spent the next two decades founding, scaling, and exiting more than a dozen businesses and advising on over $2 billion in transactions.

Today, he is the founder and CEO of Bell Partners, a regular media commentator, and author of three books on business strategy and exit planning.

The Build to Sell course distills 25 years of real-world experience into a single intensive day for founders serious about maximising their exit.

"Most founders spend years building a business. They spend almost no time building a business that someone else would want to buy. That gap is where value is lost, and it's exactly what this course fixes."

In the Room

This is not a keynote. It is a working session.

Anthony's teaching style is direct, practical, and unfiltered. He does not present polished slides. He draws on whiteboards, challenges assumptions, and works through real problems in real time.

Attendees consistently describe the day as the most valuable professional development experience of their career, not because of what Anthony says, but because of what they leave with: a clear, personalised roadmap for their exit.
