Doug, it gives us great pleasure to write a testimonial for you…. After many phone calls to various brokers, we were so pleased to have found Doug and appointed him as our agent to sell our business. Doug has the understanding of how to market and sell a business, and he has truly done that for us. Doug has offered a professional, honest, trustworthy and very thorough business sense, with a positive approach to selling our business. He explained the process in detail of selling a business and that made us very comfortable with placing our business with him. The strict criteria that Doug has in place for potential buyers is imperative! Doug puts a lot of effort and time to collate all information to achieve a positive outcome. During this process he constantly phoned with updates and kept us informed of all people who expressed interest. We are truly grateful for all Doug’s hard work and determination in achieving a successful sale. “To sell your business you must have good and accurate figures to attract potential buyers….”

Just wanted to let you know how much we both appreciated your help in selling our courier business. Your no nonsense approach to setting up and selling our business really made the whole process easy. We would certainly recommend your company to other business owners. Douglas McDonald is a very professional and positive person, who gets on with the job and certainly produces results. He sold our business in 4 weeks, and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome, thanks again Doug, we appreciated your help very much.

I recently sold my business through Douglas McDonald of Business Buy or Sell – Business Brokers. At all times I found Douglas to be ethical and professional and very tuned in to my need for confidentiality. Doug has established excellent processes and procedures, which was important to me and he explained everything as we went along. Doug spent a lot of time valuing my business and this was greatly appreciated. Doug is always friendly & easy to deal with & I couldn’t be happier with the result. We found a local buyer and my business was sold within a short timeframe with a happy outcome for all. Thanks Doug for all your assistance. Much Appreciated, Therese.

During the process of purchasing a business with which Douglas McDonald acted as the agent for, I was extremely impressed by his professional manner, his common-sense approach to matters and overall ability to get the deal done. His experience, knowledge and expertise made the entire process a pleasure and I would highly recommend him to anybody who was buying or selling a business. Thanks again

Business Seller — Nicole

Hi Doug, I wanted to let you know how much we appreciate your efforts in facilitating the sale of our business. Your systems and professional approach, in regard to collecting all the relevant information & figures from me prior to listing the business, I’m sure went a long way towards achieving the sale. The communication & support from you during the whole process was very much appreciated as well. Once again, thanks for a great job.

Vehicle Hoist Services — Graham Gee

When it came time to sell my business I was nervous about trying to advertise and find a buyer myself. I didn’t have the time to handle enquiries or know what was involved with the legalities. I was very relieved when a friend recommended Doug. He was professional and thorough. Doug gave me a list of information he needed and did a lot of ground work prior to listing my business. He kept me updated throughout the process via email, phone calls & meetings. I highly recommend Doug to anyone looking to sell their business. Thanks again

Ridgey Didge Pies — Jody Ward, Coffs Harbour

Business Buy or Sell – Someone who cares and gets results Having had our business on the market for almost 5 years and previously listed with other business agents, it was an absolute pleasure to meet Douglas with his positive outlook and commitment. Also being a business coach, he gave us good advice and helped us put all the pieces together for a successful sale. We received numerous enquiries from his many listings Australia wide, and within 3 months our business was sold. He kept in regular contact with us during this period with phone calls, emails and personal meetings with updates on any enquiries. We highly recommend Douglas for his professional approach and amazing results, – he achieved where others failed dismally and we want to share this with all locals trying to sell their business. Thanks again Douglas

Business Seller — Chris and Debbie Freeman

Another Happy Client I received an offer of purchase for my business from an interested party in the same industry. After some time and arduous negotiation, the two parties could not come to an amicable agreement. Doug was referred to me by a colleague, having sold their business. He was very helpful in all aspects of preparing and the actual negotiation of the sale of the business. I found Doug to be honest, sincere and worked hard to achieve the best result for both parties. I would recommend Doug to anyone requiring his expertise in selling their business.

Scooters and Mobility — Carol Seymour, Newcastle

Sold in Two Weeks After having our business listed for sale for nearly three years with no success, we were referred to Doug as a business coach / business broker. Following his very in depth thoughts, comments and ideas, Doug came up with a plan. He had a very detailed program to help us prepare, promote and sell our business in a very professional manner. Within a couple weeks he had it sold and finalised with everything we required. We could not be happier and have no hesitation in recommending Doug to anyone who needs a professional and thorough business agent to help you achieve a sale at the right price. Thanks Doug
