Testimonial
A sale worth telling …
Placing our business in the market was a very difficult and unnerving decision, but with the assistance from Greg and Claire, the sale was made, signed, sealed and handed over in an amazing short time.
Their conduct was at all times very professional. They took the time to understand our business, did their homework on how to present it and we were able to rely on them from the first phone call. Greg and Claire helped us in determining the realistic market value and took us through the process step by step.
We initially contacted a national company based in Cape Town but due to our location and the difficulty to correspond over the phone, gave up dealing with them. Greg and Claire valued us as locals running a national business. Our business was advertised through the Businesses4Sale Network within a few days and in less than a week we had the first pre-approved buyers lined up. We valued the fact that our time was never wasted with non-serious buyers.
The assistance we got through-out the process was incredible.
Will we use Business Traders again or recommend them to friends? Absolutely!
