I was recommended to engage David Bentley from Verified to sell my business. I found the whole process, from the start to the final settlement, was handled with thoroughness and professionalism.
My business had some aspects which were complicated and involved, but David had a very good understanding of the mechanics of the whole business and was able to convey that effectively to the buyers. Verified were good value. I am very happy with the result.

David Bentley sold me the business 8 years ago, so Verified were the natural choice when I decided it was time to move on from my butchery business.
We went to market and after inspections with 3 buyers, they had a signed Contract. They successfully negotiated on our behalf and after the usual conditions were satisfied, we had settlement after just 10 weeks from listing.
The Buyers are ideal for the business, being a young couple from Katherine in the Northern Territory. We wish them well in our business and thank Verified for doing an excellent job.

I looked at several businesses with David Bentley and was impressed with the way he presented each one. He persuaded me that this pool maintenance business was a good investment because of its potential to expand, without needing to employ anyone.
I’m glad I took his advice, because after owning this business for just 12 months I increased the net profit by over 44%. I am only selling the business after such a short time because of changed personal circumstances, nothing else.
David was the natural choice for a broker when I decided to sell. I liked the way he handled everything the first time I dealt with him. I was under severe time pressure because I had to have it sold and settled within 3 weeks… A Big Ask!
David said he could do it, and he did!! He found me a buyer and after sorting out a few dramas with accountants, he had the sale settled on time in the 3 weeks, and for the full asking price. I couldn’t be happier.

I enquired after I saw the business on Verified’s excellent website. The enquiry was handled swiftly and very professionally. I flew up to Maroochydore from Melbourne and after a very productive meeting with the owner, went to Contract. The whole transaction was handled very professionally by the brokers and staff at Verified. We engaged a solicitor they recommended and everything went to plan.
I am very happy with Verified and their professionalism.

We tried selling our business online, but only got tyre kickers and time wasters. We listed it with Verified and found that their perseverance and persistence paid off. They found us a qualified buyer, who went to Contract and apart from a few minor hiccups, settled on the sale and is now happily ensconced in the business.
Yes, we would recommend Verified as professional, ethical business brokers.
