TESTIMONIALS
October 2011
Dear Wim,
We would just like to say thank you for your professionalism and excellent salesmanship in securing a successful sale of our business St Andrews Fish N Chips. You helped us from start to finish always keeping us informed and helping us understand all the procedures and policies for selling our business. All our queries were answered promptly and professionally.
We have already recommended you to people with businesses that are trying to sell and will continue to let everyone know how much you helped us in the sale of ours. Your outstanding effort was much appreciated.
Thank You.

Natalee from Verified took on the sale of our business in June of 2011 after a band of previous brokers had failed to produce a result. At that stage, we had waited nearly eight months to no available. She was quickly up to speed with our business, the figures and the premises, and with two quick inspections had established a contract for sale.
In all aspects from that moment on she proved herself to be tenacious, diligent, informative and versatile. Natalee’s a talker, but she sure backs it up with ‘results’. We were surprised at how she pushed and manoeuvred the contract through to its completion with a minimum of fuss. We highly recommend Natalee as both a person and a professional, and any prospective seller should be thankful to have her on the case.

I have been very impressed with the way the recent purchase of our new hairdressing business was conducted by all the staff of Verified Businesses and would gladly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a business on the Sunshine Coast.

We’re from the UK, so buying a business here in Queensland was a bit of a mystery to us. We wanted to invest in a hairdressing business and saw Mint Hair advertised by Verified Businesses. We contacted David Bentley and the whole process flowed from there. We received all the information we needed, inspected the business with our daughter and her business partner and then went to Contract, subject to the usual due diligence and lease approval. We had numerous questions and queries along the way, but David handled everything very professionally.
We are delighted with our new business and we can’t fault the professionalism of Verified Businesses and would gladly recommend them to anyone buying or selling a business.

I’ve known of David Bentley for about 14 years, having met him when he had his previous business brokerage on the Coast. I approached him when we were only contemplating selling our hair dressing business here in Caloundra. He had a potential buyer for us very quickly and he put together the whole sale without even having to advertise the business. There were several complicated aspects to the agreement, but David and the team at Verified handled the whole transaction from start to finish in a very professional and successful manner. For us, success in selling our business really is “Verified”.

I had previously listed my business with another company for over 6 months. Then I tried to sell my business privately with no luck, just a whole lot of time wasters.
After I spoke to Natalee she actually valued the business much higher than I had it advertised for. She was confident from the start that she would find a buyer and that she would achieve list price. I then saw a couple different brokers who both offered to discount their commissions to get my listing. When I made the decision to list with Verified, Natalee reassured me she was worth full commission and that I would not be disappointed.
She was right and I was far from disappointed when Natalee brought me a contract for full list price plus stock after only 3 weeks. Natalee had a qualified buyer, who was approved by both the bank and the landlord. My business was SOLD and I could not be happier. I would definitely recommend Natalee at Verified.

I was under pressure to sell by a certain date, because I had to be in Western Australia to fulfil a contract I had agreed
to months ago. I was getting a bit anxious as time went by, but David assured me he’d find a buyer in time, and he did! Everything fell into place perfectly. The business sold and settled and I’m on my way to WA. I couldn’t be happier.
If you want the job done properly, get ‘Verified’ to sell your business for you. You won’t be disappointed.

Dear David,
Thank you for the work you and your staff have put in to sell our business. As you know you were the second broker that we approached to handle the sale. On first contact, the service you offered was far superior to the other company.
Because you took the time to thoroughly explain the sale process at our first meeting, we felt quite comfortable with each stage of the sale. You have consistently kept us informed of how things were going, kept in constant touch with us and always returned our calls. These things were very important to us.
We may have had the skills to run a successful business but had no idea how to put our business on the market or find a buyer. You valued the business for us and, at the end of the day, sold the business for the figure you valued it at. We are very pleased with the service you and your staff provided.
Thanks again,

We were looking for a business that had some potential to grow and we found Dixie Souvenirs from an ad in the Sunshine Coast Daily. We were very impressed with the way David Bentley and the team at Verified handled the whole transaction, from the first phone enquiry to the final handover. We are more than happy to recommend Verified to anyone wanting to buy or sell a business.

We are really happy with the way the team at Verified handled the sale of our wholesale business. They found us a buyer after running an ad in the Sunshine Coast Daily and everything moved ahead smoothly until final settlement.
We couldn’t be happier.

Hi David,
Good morning. We are writing to you to express our thanks at how you professionally handled the sale of our SPAR Express Twin Waters convenience store. From the moment you had met us, through to the sale completion, your thoroughness to detail, experience and advice was appreciated. Communication is a very important key to any business and you kept this line open. The purchasers Amit & Punita are wonderful successors to our business.
We would not hesitate in recommending you and your business to prospective sellers and buyers alike.
Kind regards
David & Leona Clanahan
David Bentley was highly recommended to us by our accountant and we are so glad we used him to sell our business in Noosa. He handled the whole process from start to finish in the most professional way. He brought us several qualified buyers and the business was soon sold for a price we were very happy with. We couldn’t be happier with the service and David’s friendly manner.

We recently purchased Foodworks Mooloolaba and we found David Bentley the most professional business broker we have ever dealt with. He delivered on everything we asked for and he always represented the seller in the best possible way. We’ll use him again, for sure.

We’ve known David Bentley for several years and we were very pleased that we chose him to sell our business in Noosa. He was totally professional in his dealings with us (and the buyer) all the way through the sale. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone buying or selling a business anywhere on the Sunshine Coast.
