Tony Latessa

Director and Broker

Overview

For more than four decades, Tony Latessa has built a reputation as one of Australia’s most experienced and respected business brokers.

As Director of Wholesale Business Brokers, Tony works closely with business owners, buyers, and investors navigating wholesale business sales, acquisitions, and commercially sensitive negotiations.

Clients often engage Tony when the transaction carries significant value, complexity, or pressure. His role is to bring clarity to the process, manage negotiations carefully, and help clients make confident commercial decisions at every stage of the transaction.

Tony is known for his direct communication, strong negotiation capability, and ability to maintain momentum while protecting the interests of his clients.

Approach and Experience

Tony’s experience extends beyond individual transactions. He has held senior leadership positions within the Australian Institute of Business Brokers and continues to be recognised for his contribution to professional business broking standards in Australia.

Over the years, he has worked across business sales, acquisitions, multi-party negotiations, and transactions requiring careful management of confidentiality, buyer expectations, timing, and commercial risk.

This depth of experience allows Tony to provide clients with practical guidance grounded in real market experience, not theory or generic advice.

For clients, that means working with a broker who understands not only how to structure a transaction, but also how to navigate the commercial and strategic pressures that often come with major business decisions.
