"We recently purchased a business via LINK with Steve as the Business Broker. He was always prompt and professional at working with us to present our offers and counteroffers without any pressure and remained confidential to all concerned. He was understanding of our position while maintaining his clients position. We found he was great at communicating and respectful at requesting timely updates. Thank you Steve for helping to make the process a positive one."
"Steve Catley is the one for selling a business! Communication, reliability & knowledge! We were total novices selling our Business that we’d started from scratch and had become our life! Graham knew Steve & his highly considered reputation. From the first meeting, we felt Steve knew how to guide us in making the daunting achievable and had seamless ideas on how to make stocktaking seem easy, even fun. At the end of that first meeting we felt so good we had an idea our asking price was fair and probably achievable (it was!) and we knew the timelines, the legalities etc. In no time at all the package was ready to put on the market, everything signed off. Steve came around for a final ok and said it would go on the market the following week, we were so excited! Then came COVID-19 and we were shut down for a Month! Nevertheless, within a week of going online, we had our first nibble of interest and it kept coming. The sale without a doubt was seamless with Steve guiding both the seller and prospective buyer through the processes including C-19. It was brilliant and a wonderful outcome for both parties. Steve is the one!" Barb & Graham
"Steve followed our sale right through to the end and pushed hard for this sale. We would have no hesitation in recommending Link and Steve for your business sale." Ron Bare
"My husband and myself engaged Link Business Brokers to sell our small business. We were very pleased with the work that Steve Catley did to enable the sale at a price we were very happy with. We appreciated the ease of communication with Steve, always responding to both our questions and that of the purchaser with promptness and clarity, while also being very professional. He is friendly and approachable with no question too much trouble to answer. We know that he went the extra mile to network the purchaser with helpful contacts so the purchaser was better informed about the type of business we were selling. We would highly recommend him to anyone wanting to see their business, not just a small business like ours but in our opinion he would be well equipped to broker larger businesses as well." Jos and Pauline Nagels
'I’d just like to take the opportunity to personally thank you for all the hard work and effort that you put into the sale of the business, you really made both Sam and I feel comfortable with a process that initially seemed rather daunting. Business matters were handled efficiently and professionally. I can honestly say that you went way beyond our expectations when it came to providing information about the business. I would certainly recommend yourself and link to anyone wanting to purchase a business in the future.'' Rob and Sam
"We enquired with several ‘business sales consultants’ before engaging Link to market our professional consultancy business. A business of this type has minimal tangible assets and its value is mainly in the ‘goodwill’, so ours was a challenging proposition. From the first meeting with Steve we felt comfortable and confident with the advice and recommendations he made, and his friendly, compassionate understanding of our situation. He always displayed a very professional approach and an impressive understanding of business procedures. We have no hesitation in recommending Steve to market your business." Trevor & Shona
