Selling our family-owned specialist retail and servicing business was a challenging task. We had been with another Nelson-based broker for 18 months with no progress – it left us frustrated and skeptical about ever finding a buyer. That’s when we switched to Rick Warren from ABC Business Sales Nelson, and it was the best decision we ever made.
From our first meeting, Rick stood out as a genuinely nice guy who was all about getting the job done. His commitment and diligence were unmatched. He provided a realistic evaluation of our business, explaining the valuation in plain language so we understood exactly where we stood in the current market. Unlike the previous broker, Rick didn’t just list the business and hope for the best. He crafted a tailored strategy to showcase the shop’s unique appeal (like our specialized inventory, service contracts and loyal customer base), targeted marketing to buyers through industry networks, and smart suggestions for minor changes to the marketing to boost appeal.
We couldn’t be happier with Rick Warren’s professionalism, work ethic, and results. He turned a seemingly impossible sale into a success. If you’re looking to sell a specialist retail and servicing business and want someone who delivers results with integrity, I wholeheartedly recommend Rick Warren from ABC Business Sales Nelson. Five stars – he’s simply the best!
