John, Neil and Arjay did a great job securing not just one, but five offers to purchase my Legal Practice, in a process which while daunting, produced the desired result, a successful sale. I would definitely recommend them, in the same way they were recommended to me, by another successful Vendor. 

Matt

A huge expression of appreciation to John and his team at Gatehouse Business Brokers on the sale of my business.
Their professionalism in preparation, their guidance in the sale process, and the far reaching ability to generate a long list of interested parties to consider my business led to a successful sale in what would otherwise have been impossible to replicate on our own.


There is no denying that there is a lot of work and associated stress for a vendor as well however, John was always available, and managed us and the process, narrowing down a list of potential buyers to the eventual purchasers to achieve a very successful outcome. A special mention to Neil who almost daily, coordinated, communicated and added to the list of new interested parties.

I am more than happy to recommend John and his team as business brokers.
