WAIKATO BUSINESS NEWS <strong>December</strong> <strong>2017</strong>/<strong>January</strong> <strong>2018</strong> 3 ABC <strong>Business</strong> Sales makes deals happen Buying or selling a business can be challenging, but <strong>Waikato</strong> business broker Scott Laurence and his team at ABC <strong>Business</strong> Sales work hard to make deals happen. Since establishing the <strong>Waikato</strong> branch of ABC <strong>Business</strong> Sales in 2011 Scott and his team of specialist business brokers have sold more than 180 local businesses. These have included a wide range of business sectors, for example food and hospitality, retail, import, sales and distribution, automotive, contracting and transport, property services, manufacturing, fitness and recreation and tourism and more. Alongside Scott, the <strong>Waikato</strong> branch of ABC <strong>Business</strong> Sales’ team comprises Tony Begbie, Greg Dunn, Graeme Finch and Craig Paul. “We are all <strong>Waikato</strong> locals and have a variety of skills and experience in business which enable us to understand a wide range of businesses of any size,” Scott says. “Our role is to facilitate the sale and purchase of a business. Typically, this will include working with the business owner to understand their business and provide an accurate appraisal of the likely sale value. We then have a range of marketing strategies designed to find a buyer for the business. This includes our unique ‘Hi Viz’ marketing campaigns comprising video and social media, plus our numerous contacts and networks established over time. “When a buyer is found Scott and his team work with both parties through to the contract stage, and then with the further due diligence matters that arise. “Our role is to communicate effectively with the buyer and seller, their legal and accounting professional advisors, and in some cases banking professionals, and franchisors,” Scott says. Reputational value means a great deal to Scott and the team who strive to make the whole buying and selling process go as smoothly as possible. “We are more than happy to start conversations with business owners well in advance of when they are ready to sell, and without any cost or obligation to them. We can ABC <strong>Business</strong> Sales <strong>Waikato</strong> Team; Greg Dunn, Tony Begbie, Scott Laurence, Graeme Finch and Craig Paul. offer some sound advice or recommendations in terms of the timing, presentation, and structure. Essentially how and when to best present the business to the market.,” Scott says. <strong>Business</strong> owners are welcome to call any time for a confidential chat. “We are equally happy to meet up with those who are looking to buy and would like to register their interest with us, and discuss opportunities as they come up. This is a strategy that has proven to be successful for a number of buyers.” Goldstar Heat Pumps director Brett Robinson bought his Frankton, Hamilton, business through ABC <strong>Business</strong> Sales in <strong>2017</strong>. “I decided to look for an opportunity to own my own business last year,” Brett says. “I spoke with several business brokers but enjoyed the guys from ABC as I thought they were interested in me and what I wanted, rather than trying to sell me anything at all. “One of their first bits of advice was that it could take a while to find an ideal opportunity, so not to rush the process.” Brett says ABC <strong>Business</strong> Brokers’ website was user friendly, easy to navigate, and the information provided was detailed. “As we got further through the process, any questions that we had were quickly answered. Tony helped us navigate the purchase process with the vendors in a very efficient and timely manner and ably guided us through any queries that we had... we are happy with our decision to purchase Goldstar Heat Pumps and enter into a new industry that we are confident will continue to have a strong industry demand into the future.” Gary and Varinia Larder from Guthrie Bowron in Hamilton were equally pleased with how Scott marketed their business this year and worked hard to find them a suitable buyer. “The whole process was professional and stress-free and we would most certainly recommend him to other business owners wishing to sell,” the Larders said.
