Testimonials

To whom it may concern, we commissioned Brett Barton to sell our business in December 2014. Brett was recommended on a "Word of Mouth Contact" from some friends of ours who had recently sold their business. On our first meeting with Brett we found him very easy to talk to when listing our priorities of what WE wanted. Within a matter of months, we had three prospective purchasers and Brett put us in the enviable position of actually having a choice of two buyers. Throughout the negotiations Brett remained professional and on subject and kept us well informed of what was happening at all times, thus allowing us to continue to run our business through a relatively busy period. In less than 12 months, he had SOLD our business for our asking price, and gave all necessary assistance to our respective legal advisors. We would gladly recommend Brett to anybody looking at selling or buying a business.

DAVID “DEALMAKER” BENTLEY. I’ve recently purchased a business through David Bentley at Verified Businesses, and I have no hesitation in writing this testimony. I’ve been involved in a number of sales and marketing businesses over the last 40 years. I’m therefore well qualified to comment on David’s sales and support capability. I enquired about businesses for sale with a number of Business Brokers. David was the most attentive to my interests. He impressed me with his friendly manner and focused sales ability. It soon became apparent he’s a Dealmaker. David demonstrated an interest in my initial broad business enquiry, and soon narrowed my interests to one particular business. As I began my thorough due diligence, David supported me throughout the process, and arranged a number of meetings with the business owner, where we openly discussed the pros and cons of the business. As the negotiations began, the discussions at times got quite tense, and each time this occurred, David intervened in his calm manner to mediate, and he never neglected an opportunity to think outside the box to be a Dealmaker. David regularly contacted me by phone, email and text to continually update me on negotiating progress. (BTW, David was the only Broker that ever followed me up). He was always patient and persistent with both the owner and myself, continually seeking a win/win outcome. Eventually, I submitted a contract with a number of special conditions, and Dealmaker David successfully negotiated with the owner and myself to secure an unconditional contract. I encourage both a business owner interested to sell, and a potential business buyer to trust David as a Broker, and I’m confident he’ll do his very best to secure a great outcome.
