Reviews:
I created a unique business over the last 34 years, and as it stood in a place where none had previously existed, I was always prepared to walk away if I could not attract a buyer. When I went looking for business brokers, to me this professional community seemed to lack any strong insight, drive or dynamism. I found myself having to make a choice between some pretty sleepy alternatives and I got no sense that anyone I had consulted with had really come to grips with my business; the bespoke niche it inhabited or the brand that it had created. Then my wife showed me a wonderful blog by Simon on the "10 Myths of selling a business" on the Raine & Horne website. A great piece...refreshingly candid, and full of hard realities for any empire builder. On speaking to Simon he was suitably frank and had a direct, no nonsense approach. He demonstrated great insight into the success of my business and was enthusiastic about our light footed, micro-size operation that had still managed to define itself with such a unique strength to its marketplace. When the financials were offered he dissected them thoroughly. To the best of my knowledge no one else had done this, no proper analytics, no drilling down, just an interest in the bottom line without testing its validity. Mind you from what I know he is the only qualified accountant in his game and he has had a genuinely successful business career, preceding his time as a business broker. We marketed the business for sale at the commencement of February. The whole process was a delight. I liked selling my wares to the marketplace & to sell the whole package itself was intriguing & stimulating. To a great extent the broker is mainly a facilitator & Simon's interventions were always well timed & astute. We promptly received 4 offers & 2 on asking price. Simon picked my eventual buyer from his first phone call. The whole thing was sewn up & contract signed within 5 weeks. In all my years of shopping for services never have I found a service provider so far ahead of his competition as I have in Simon Winter. Do as I did and explore all the brokers, however I'm sure you'll discover Simon is without equal in his field and has business sales in SA firmly in hand."
