Travis's testimonial

"My name is Roy Easton, and I owned Auckland Concrete Grinding for 28 years. The company was consistently profitable, making it attractive to potential purchasers, but also a business I was very happy to hold on to.

Over the past 10 years, I have been regularly approached by business brokers. Most made the process of selling sound daunting and drawn out, often suggesting it could take six months or more. So when Travis first approached me, I was naturally a bit reserved.

However, after a few meetings, Travis and Ollie presented a very different picture. They put together a strong sales and marketing package and took the time to genuinely understand my business and customers. That level of effort gave me real confidence and I felt it was incredibly important.

The sales process itself was impressive, professional in every aspect and very reassuring throughout. From start to finish, the sale took just three months, with far more demand than I had expected.

On a personal note, the outcome has been excellent both financially and mentally. I am now working for the new owner and genuinely feel I have a new lease on life. I would highly recommend Travis and Ollie, along with the wider ABC team. Chris, the owner, has an excellent reputation and it certainly shows in how the business operates."
