Choosing a business broker to sell our franchised business wasn’t easy. We settled on Verified Businesses because we felt comfortable with the way they handled our initial enquiry and then the very detailed business assessment.
They had us a buyer within just a few weeks, and then a contract soon after. Everything progressed smoothly to final settlement. There were a few hiccups along the way with the franchisor and the bank, but with their experience and knowledge of franchises, the team at Verified sorted everything. We were particularly impressed with the good communications and the especially good personal service we received from David Bentley. They contacted us regularly and kept us informed all the way through the whole process. We’ll use them again when we sell our next business, for sure.

We'd never sold a business before, so it was all new to us. From the first meeting with David from Verified, we felt confident that they would achieve the best outcome for us. We chose Verified over the other brokers because they seemed more thorough and explained how the whole process worked. Once it was listed, we had our first inspection within days and then not one but two contracts within 2 weeks. We were very impressed with how quickly Verified had the business sold and for more than the asking price! David’s professionalism and support during the whole process was invaluable. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

David Bentley from Verified Businesses was recommended to me, and I am so glad that I took their advice. David has been a pleasure to deal with. I admired his genuine interest, expertise, experience and tenacity from the beginning to the final stages of the sale of my business. And of course, I had the inevitable hiccoughs, but David dealt with all and every obstacle with patience and calmness, which for me, was his winning asset!! I am more than pleased with the professional negotiating and eventual sale of my beloved cafe, and I was more than happy to part with his well earned commission as he deserved it.

We’ve been servicing his cars for 17 years, so we knew him well enough. David did a good job for us selling our mechanical repair business. We knew it wasn’t going to be easy, but he is a tenacious bugger and never gives up.
We’re now on our way around Australia in the caravan and we couldn’t be happier. If you want a broker that works hard to get you a good result, use him. We did and we’re happy to recommend him and the team at Verified.

I would like to take the opportunity of thanking David Bentley for selling my business. I had previously engaged another business broker with little satisfaction. You were recommended to me by one of my customers, whose advice I value. To say that I was ecstatic with the news of a signed contract about a week after engaging your firm is an understatement!
I should have known a quick sale would occur as I was very impressed with your knowledge of the current business market and your overall professionalism. You followed 'the brief' with meticulous detail, and the subsequent due diligence and settlement process went smoothly.
Once again please accept my whole hearted thanks and as my customer recommended you to me, I will have no hesitation in recommending your firm to anyone in the future.
