"We recently used the services of Linda Harley to sell our business and on our first consultation with her, we found Linda to be very professional and friendly, which made us very comfortable to talk to her about our business. She was very thorough in explaining everything to us about the process of listing and selling and with exact instructions of what we needed to collate together for her, an appraisal was done within a day. To our delight our business was sold in ten days of listing and we were extremely happy with the outcome. We would have no hesitation in recommending Linda to anyone who is considering selling their business. Thank you Linda for making our sale such a smooth process."

"I really appreciate how you professionally handled the sale and how you made the whole process seem very easy. You had a very cool, calm manner which I found very comforting and will look to employ those attributes when I take on my next business challenge. I wish you well for your future sales at LINK and I think they should be wrapped to have you as part of the team."

"When we made the decision to sell our franchise business we understood that it wasn't going to be any easy undertaking for anyone, because of the complexities involving franchised businesses. Originally we listed the business for sale in Auckland, believing that the net would be wider. After several months of inactivity we listed with LINK in Tauranga and met Linda who took on the challenege, on our behalf. Linda grasped the complexities and put our business in front of the right people. We would have no hesitation in recommending Linda as a Broker who does what she says she will do and is committed to her clients. At no time did we feel that she wasn't doing anything to promote the business and she always kept us up to date with progress. Great job Linda, thanks so much."

"Robin did a first class job and we could not have asked for more. He even came to see us on our first day of owning the business - above the call!"

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank Laurel very much for her presentation at the 2010 Resettlement Seminar on 16 March at Devonport Naval Base. The people attending this seminar gained valuable information from her wide experience and knowledge of franchising systems. We hope she will be available in the future.

"I have to tell you that Laurel is the best broker I have ever worked with on International, I wish I could clone her!"

"We recently sold our business through your company, and may I say Ross fulfilled more than our expectations. We specifically asked for the sale to be kept "under the radar" as to the nature and whereabouts of our business. Ross more than fulfilled our requirements, he kept us in the loop at all times, was professional, polite and courteous at all times. The result Ross achieved far exceeded our expectations, we would not hesitate, and already have referred him to some of our colleagues."

"We would just like to say 'thank you' for the very thoughtful gift you sent and to say we were more than happy with the service we received from your Company.

He was extremely helpful and thorough and feel he did an excellent job at getting us the best possible price with a buyer appropriate for our business."

"We would like to take the opportunity to thank your company and in particular, Mr Stephen McElrea and Ross McLauchlan for their very professional manner in which they handled the sales of the business of the Midway Motel at Waiheke Island ....... Their service and keeping us informed at all times, was excellent and to have two lots of purchasers sign up was a bonus ....... We would have no hesitation in recommending both of them to any potential purchaser or vendor. It was good doing business with your company."

"KingYo was our "baby" and a considerable amount of emotion surrounded this whole process. Not only were you supportive in a professional sense but you understood the personal dimension and a great deal of your approach can only be described as "wisdom". We appreciate that side just as much as the commercial success you achieved for us."
J.L. Auckland
"Recently, Bill Hayward sold our company for us. The otherwise difficult sales process was made easier with the welcome input of Mr Hayward. The sale of a company is often a stressful and emotive process and it was a pleasure to have a calming, logical and level headed influence throughout the whole exercise from potential buyer to completed sale. I would recommend Mr Hayward, to a potential customer who wants to either sell or buy a business, unequivocally and without hesitation."
C.D. Auckland
"Thanks for all your efforts. Thoroughly professional service, excellent communication, great result."

I was introduced to Laurel McCulloch and Link Business Broking through a series of connections in the Australian and New Zealand International Coach Federation and franchising networks. Obviously when one meets a person by recommendation there are certain credibility expectations mixed with a certain caution of the unknown.
Although the first few months in my business relationship with Laurel were by phone, fax and email, I knew that this was a person who understood the franchise industry inside-out and who understood the science of marketing and selling a franchise business. When we commenced the business relationship Laurel advised me that it would take around six months to fine a suitable buyer for our NZ Master Franchise. She was 100% correct. Although we were presented with early interested parties along the way, the person who bought our NZ Master Franchise responded to the systematic advertising campaign instigated by Laurel... and it took just on the six months that Laurel estimated.
Not only did Laurel provide excellent marketing and sales skills for our business, through her contacts in the franchise industry she also provided us with contacts that assisted in getting our franchise systems in place.
These included franchise consultants, accountants and lawyers. Overall, I have no hesitation in recommending Laurel McCulloch and Link Business Broking if you are considering selling or buying a business and especially if you are considering buying or selling a franchise business."

"Hi Nick, I really appreciate the effort you have gone into on my behalf and your vote of confidence means the world to me. I do look for that extra bit of reassurance especially in people I hold in high regard who are successful and above all ethical. Your manner of handling this process and my interests have been above and beyond the call of duty and at no time have you made me feel under any pressure to just write the cheque. Your focus is clearly on your client's interests and not sales only orientated. That I sincerely appreciate and wanted to acknowledge."

"We received today your kind gift on selling our business. It arrived as a complete surprise and will indeed be enjoyed "once the cheque is in the bank" - as they say. We have found Richard extremely helpful and very easy to deal with and would indeed be happy to refer others to LINK based on our current experience."
