Meet Paul
Paul Leach
Hospitality Consultant, Certified Exit Planning Advisor and
Licensed Broker in NSW, VIC, SA and QLD
Hello, I am Paul Leach
I work with busy cafe owners to help them to grow, run and sell their businesses'
I grew up in the food business, my parents owned two very successful restaurants and I remember working (or a least thinking I was) in them from a very early age. All through school I knew I wanted to go in to the hospitality industry and the day that I started at College could not come quick enough.
In 1993 I opened my first Cafe called “Hogarth’s” and that is really where it all began.
Since then I have built up and sold nine food businesses and loved every minute (well most of it) and learnt a lot about how the sale process works.
When running and selling my businesses I always felt that there had to be a better way to get support throughout the journey and that is where this business and The GSE HUB come from.
I am now using the experience I gained in starting, running and selling all those businesses to help people like yourself to do the same. It works well for me as I am still involved in the industry and it helps my clients by them avoiding some of the mistakes that I made when selling my first couple of cafes – Win Win!
I would love the opportunity to show you more about how this approach can help you to grow, run or sell your business.

I cant recommend GSE Business Consultants highly enough. The six step process was easy to follow and very enlightening even if your not thinking of selling, it was well worth the money. GSE have been there for me all the way through, I never felt alone during the selling process. Thank you Paul and team, I got the best of both worlds - I had total control of the selling my cafe but with 100% backing of an experienced broker at a fraction of the cost.
Susan Rounce
If I could give Paul Leach and his team 20 stars I would. Paul saved me a lot of heartache and money with his experience in the first day. A company that genuinely help and put integrity and honestly over money. Thank you so much Paul
Shelly Ives
Paul from GSE is dedicated and relationship focused with on point reporting system putting this company in the ahead of its competitors and business consultants. I am pleased with the service and recommend it highly.
Rison Amin
Love working with Paul and the GSE team as our business coach. We have transformed the business under his coaching. Highly recommend his services.
Jesse Gardiner
In all the noise and confusion that is running a small business, Paul is a calm and knowledgeable voice of reason.
Liz Whitehall
I was beyond impressed with Paul. From the moment we met (he came to us), I knew he was going to do everything in his power to help us.
He knows the process like no other, and has a professionalism unsurpassed in the industry. Also, his unique financial modelling allowed us to easily pull all the relevant information together which buyers are looking for. The marketing he and his team put together for us was very impressive, it almost made us consider not selling, he made it sound that appealing :-)
His new system of billing and working is awesome, and it makes it so much easier for small businesses like ours to engage real experts like Paul.
Nick Stenmark
Worked with GSE business consultants to promote our new restaurant/bar. We found Paul to be very professional & experienced in this area. Since working with GSE we have had a big increase in trade
Harry Dodson
My experience with GSE was reassuring, that businesses can still have a caring approach. My dealings were with Paul Leach, of who i can not speak highly enough. He made a lot of sense and he listened. I wish I did not find that so rare these days.
Stephen Conry
Thanks to Paul for his insightful, logical and realistic help. Over the course of a few conversations, he was able to help me out with some very simple, yet incredibly intelligent and concise ideas as to how to go about preparing my business for sale. His customer concern was very genuine, something I didn’t find through meeting with other brokers who just treated me like another number. Can’t recommend highly enough.
James Russell
I have tried few brokers from Canberra and rob was the best he gave it 110% at all times he genuinely cares about you and the business to get the sales across the line not like other brokers in Canberra he never gives up and gets results. ..... sold sold sold :D :D :D :D :D thanks rob
Hakan Demir
Great brokerage service. Extremely effective and professional. Rob guided us through every step of the sales process - spending many hours working with us to ensure a successful result. Very reliable and personable. Highly recommend.
James Archibald
Can not thank enough specially Rob Illsley. He has been a great advise and has been in touch throughout the process. I almost gave up but he did not and made sure deal went through
Karan Talwar
Honest, realistic and hard working. Rob was a pleasure to deal with. I have no problems recommending him.
