unique skillset to assist
Why choose me ?
I am Australian and enjoy working with Australians who are considering buying or operating a business in Bali — specialising in hospitality, accommodation, well being and tourism.
I am a teacher with an Education first approach.
I have run several businesses and understand the financial and logistical intricacies involved.
I too, have had to go through the protocols of setting up a business in Bali.
I can help you understand the process and coordinate the right professionals.
Bali offers incredible opportunities, but it also comes with legal, cultural and structural realities that are very different from Australia.
My role is to help you understand those realities clearly, before you commit significant money or time.

QUESTIONS
Answers To Your Queries Here
If you’re at the early thinking stage and would value a clear, no-pressure conversation, I offer a paid strategy session via Zoom
Yes, if any of these are true:
• You’re considering buying or investing in a business in Bali
• You’ve been shown an opportunity but feel unsure
• You want to understand legal structures, risks, and realities
• You don’t want to rely on hearsay, agents, or “mates’ advice”
• You want clarity before spending serious money
As your independent, buyer-side advisor, I will go through all of this and more:
Assess whether Bali is right for you
Identify the right business in the right area
Understand legal structures clearly
Coordinate trusted local professionals
Avoid common and costly mistakes
All consultations are personal and conducted via Zoom. I work with a limited number of clients at a time and prioritise long-term, compliant outcomes over quick deals.
If something doesn’t stack up, I’ll tell you.
This service is for people who value transparency, compliance and long-term thinking.
I don’t sell listings.
I work on the buyer’s side, helping you assess whether Bali is right for you, identify suitable opportunities, and coordinate trusted local professionals to ensure everything is done properly and compliantly.
If something doesn’t stack up, I’ll tell you, and if the timing or structure isn’t right, I’ll advise you to pause.
I work buyer-side only.
If I meet with or develop a relationship with a seller, I will disclose upfront.
I do not receive commissions from sellers
You can bring some tricky questions:
“Why pay a consultant when I can find things online?”
But I’d suggest come with an expansive attitude about what you like and don’t like, what it is that you are trying to achieve etc..
I’ll be asking you:
- Why Bali?
- Why now?
- What do you want to achieve?
- Is there a business model you like?
- Do you have an area of Bali you prefer?
- Are you fixed on a particular type of/ style of business?
After our first Zoom conversation, there is no obligation to proceed.
I’ll take some time to reflect on what we’ve discussed and assess whether Bali — and the type of investment you’re considering — genuinely makes sense for you at this stage. I’ll then send you a short follow-up summary outlining:
My honest view on suitability
Any key risks or red flags to be aware of
Possible pathways forward, or reasons to pause
What the next stage would involve if you decide to continue
You’re encouraged to take time, ask questions, and consider this alongside any independent advice. If it feels right for both of us, we can then discuss working together in a more structured way. If not, you’ll leave the conversation clearer and better informed than before.
There’s no pressure — good overseas decisions are rarely rushed.

My role isn’t to sell listings or push deals — it’s to help people understand what’s actually possible, what’s risky, and what structures make sense before they commit significant money overseas.
If you’re at the early thinking stage and would value a clear, no-pressure conversation, I offer a paid strategy session via Zoom where we assess suitability, legal realities and next steps.
