Here are just two examples of satisfied customers talking about the service they experienced with Advent.
Christine and Keith Gregory Media and Publishing
From instruction to completion in 97 days!
Christine and Keith freely admitted they didn't know much at all about selling a business when they decided to go ahead so were relieved when a friend recommended Advent.
Christine... “We didn't really know what to expect, but from the very first meeting the consultant put us at ease and explained everything clearly and simply. They treated us with respect and spent a lot of time looking at all aspects of the business in great detail, showing us things we hadn't thought of that could be included.”
Keith... “We were absolutely amazed at how quickly things took off and Advent were always available whenever we needed them. I think by attending the viewing they really helped the buyer to understand the potential of our business. They even went the extra mile by helping the buyer arrange funding. The fact that they managed to sell our business for the asking price in just over three months means I have nothing but praise for them.”
John Grimley and Gordon Peters Motor Trade
The right price – right in the middle of a recession!
Deciding to sell in a dwindling economy made business partners John and Gregory look long and hard to find a good agent. A business associate suggested Advent and supplied references.
Gordon... “The valuer was very professional and his final valuation turned out to be extremely accurate when we finally sold. We were surprised at how high he priced it at first, especially in the middle of a recession but he gave us good reasons and explained in detail how he'd arrived at it.”
John... “The price we had in our minds turned out to be £100,000 too low so we're more than happy we sold through Advent. The whole process was a lot quicker than we expected too. It was just over 10 months from going on the market to getting money in the bank and now I'm retired and Gordon's started a new business doing what he always wanted to – I'd have no problems recommending Advent to anyone.”
