Sonia Van Der Merwe

We were very happy with Sonia while selling our business. She quickly understood the unique way that our business operates and helped us pass that information onto potential buyers in a logical manner. We initially felt somewhat nervous providing LINK our sensitive information, however Sonia was very reassuring and we felt her handling of negotiations were genuinely in our best interests. Sonia’s advice about the sale process was honest and upfront and will be invaluable for future projects whether selling or buying. We would definitely consider using LINK in the future.

Sonia was fantastic to work with throughout the purchasing process. She was always available, quick to respond to questions, and most importantly she was honest and transparent in everything we discussed. She also acted as a perfect mediator to help bring myself and the seller towards a deal that suited us both. I had a great experience buying a business through Sonia, and if ever I go to sell a business in the future (or buy another one) I'll definitely be keen to do so through Sonia. Scott Mackintosh Buyer on 04/02/2026

Thanks Sonia, Steve Steve Morley Vendor on 05/11/2025

HI All I own multiple business's, and had never previously used a business broker (Personal decision), but I decided to approach Sonia van der Merwe from Link business brokers Gold Coast, for my most recent purchase, as I was new to the area. From the time I approached Sonia to the time I eventually signed, and took over my new thriving business, it was an absolute pleasure dealing with her. She was exceptionally professional and helpful, but the thing that stands out above all other business brokers is her honesty, and willingness to go through the long hard yards to find the perfect business to suit my needs and expectations. I never felt like she was just trying to palm off any old business for the sake of making her quick buck. I will be using her for all my future purchases and I would highly recommend her.
