Track Record
Prospective clients who wish to sell a business are
entitled to know the track record of their business broker. Some
business sales agents boast that they have dozens or even hundreds
of business sales listed.
We claim to have not more than around ten quality businesses being
actively marketed at any time. But we claim successful results
in almost every case.
A representative selection of business sales
transactions completed, time taken to complete the transaction
and final sale price, is set out in the following table. We can
provide a reference for every sale.
