Testimonials
Below are just a selection of some of the exquisite testimonials that we have received from our clients.
Costcutter
Owning a few Costcutters within the Northwest I set out to expand my empire and conclude in buying further Costcutters within the North of England.
I came across Blacks Business Brokers advertised in the Manchester Evening News and when contacted and advised of my situation I was immediately sent all business to which matched my criteria.
After I had completed my search I was a little disheartened to find I hadn’t as of yet found the right business at the right price in the right area however, several months later I was contacted by Blacks to be advised a Costcutter had become available and matched what I was looking for, after a viewing the same day I then went ahead with the purchase to which the staff at Blacks were more than helpful.
Thanks to Blacks I am constantly updated on new businesses to which may be of interest and I am now a rightful owner of another successfully run Costcutter.

Dear Joanne & Staff
After deliberating for months in April this year I finally decided to go for it and put my Business up for sale I had built up my Business from scratch 3 years ago.
I contacted Local Business Transfer Agents to give me a valuation and advice ‘Well what can I say’ they came with lots of sales talk and I felt very unsure until Blacks Business Brokers came along.
The first thing I noticed was that there was no ‘frilly Sales Talk’ just an honest valuation and a good possibility that the Business would be sold within six months. I was very dubious in this present climate.
How wrong could I have been? Here I am after six months ‘SOLD’.
I just want to say a big Thank you to Joanne and all her staff for there professional advice and help ‘THEY WERE BRILLANT’
Even though I knew my Business was good I never believed in a recession that it would sell. I just trusted my judgement and went for it with BLACKS BUSINESS BROKERS what a good choice!! 'Thank you So Much' Amanda Gilmore (Seller)
The last transaction we worked on together was certainly memorable – your calm style, intellect and negotiating skills again brought home the deal to the great satisfaction of all involved. Well done!"
Mrs McClaren (Buyer)
Little Casbah
Can I just take this opportunity to say how impressed we have been with the professional manner in which you have handled the sale of our business, all our dealings, from the first visit onwards have been conducted most proficiently.
Two areas in particular stand out, that of the valuation, we were not given a wildly unrealistic figure just to get our business and the offers received were within the parameters we had been given, and that you promised to introduce genuinely interested parties and you certainly delivered
Mr Larbi (Seller)
News Rack
The transaction to sell our business was swift from start to finish and all negotiations were conducted in an extremely professional manner.
Blacks Business Brokers were attentive and effective in achieving the desired effect, there honesty and persistence has ultimately allowed our sale to happen.
I will have no hesitation in recommending you again in future."
Thanks Again
Mr Iqbal & Mr Zubair (Seller)
Having experience within business is one thing but when it came to buying a business I had no knowledge.
Blacks provided the confidence, answers and guidance to make the transaction as smooth and as stress free as possible.
It was the unbiased view that was most attractive working for both seller and buyer with honest, realistic opinions that were both valid and relevant.
I was not entirely sure what to expect but was very happy and therefore felt I should write this recommendation for any potential buyer that is feeling a little uncertain regarding buying a business through a transfer agent such as Blacks”
Mr Manjra (Buyer)
Delicious
I found Blacks Business Brokers to be very knowledgeable in there field of expertise when we sold our Sandwich Bar.
The team at Blacks helped immensely especially in the negotiations which we found very useful.
I always felt that Blacks were on our side, and not just trying to push a sale through for everybody’s interest.
For these reasons I would recommend them to anybody wishing to buy or sell a business.
Mr McCaffery (Seller)
Empty Shop Premises
We came across Blacks Business Brokers via the internet & subsequently arranged a meeting. The valuer took the time to really understand both our premises and our personal circumstances, to which the valuation put on our premise was very accurate and the level of interest generated is testament to the way in which Blacks advertised our empty shop premise.
There knowledge and experience of similar transactions proved to be an invaluable asset and delivered some great advice in a professional yet friendly manner that allowed us to understand any given situation and make informed decisions.
It was particularly reassuring to have Blacks presence throughout all stages of negotiations and involvement played no small part in a very successful outcome. Once again big thanks to Blacks for all there help and advise and would not hesitate to recommend Blacks to anyone else who is looking to sell there business or premises.

Number 10 Cafe
Dear Joanne,
As you are aware, we placed the business up for sale with Christie & Co. in Manchester in 2006.
Since that time they did not manage to introduce a single prospective purchaser to us and we are far from happy at the way they dealt with us at the outset.
In hindsight we should have moved agents a long time ago. Whilst clearly there is some way to go before the sale reaches a conclusion, the good news is that having only transferred the sale of the business to yourselves in May this year, we have already received one introduction from you which has resulted in a formal offer being made.

Empty Shop Premises
I am very glad to take this opportunity to thank you and the whole team at Blacks for the successful leasing of my commercial premises.
The valuer was very professional and his final valuation turned out to be extremely accurate when we finally let the premises. 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.
The service you gave was excellent, both in terms of the number of viewings you secured and the quality of potential purchasers you sent to us.
Blacks maintained good optimism throughout the process and was a major factor in sustaining our confidence that everything would turn out right in the end.
We will be glad to speak to anyone thinking of selling a business or letting a premises and tell them to use Blacks Business Brokers, they really are the best in the business"

Hewitts Fish & Chips
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the staff at Blacks for the excellent job you did in selling my business. I was most impressed with the advice and guidance that Blacks gave throughout the sale.
I would especially like to thank John for the advice he gave on selling my Business. When I first came to Blacks as a person who was sceptical about paying an upfront fee I took the option not to pay an up front fee for the advertising but as time went on I spoke to John and asked how I could get my Business sold. The answer was simple upgrade my marketing package so that my Business would be advertised in the Manchester Evening News. How right he was!! It was the best money I have spent . Within a week of the business being advertised in the Manchester Evening News I recieved an offer and have now successfully completed on a sale.
I cannot thanks Blacks enough. Once Again thank you for all your help and wish you continued success in the future

Having spent nine months trying to sell my Bargain Booze business, without success, through Kings Business Transfer Agents, I was persuaded to try Blacks Business Brokers. I have received first class service from Blacks from day one. They always return calls and follow up any enquiry without delay.
I would recommend them to anyone who is thinking of selling a business and would not hesitate the use their services again in the future.

Dear Joanne,
I am writing to say that we have been very impressed with the service you have provided during the recent sale of our dental practice.
We would like to thank you and your staff for the efficient and professional way you have dealt with us.
We have always felt that you have had our interests at heart and have supported us through the process.
We would be happy to recommend your company to any other dentists who are considering selling their practice.

Castle Chippy
Thanks very much for your assistance in finding a suitable buyer (not an easy task with the Landlords requirements) for the above business and for aiding the swift processing of the sale from offer to completion in just over two weeks. Thanks also in the fact that you weeded out time wasters as these have been difficult times due to my husbands illness.
As with the other times when I have used you personally for the sale of my other business and the purchase of above, I have always found you helpful, professional and diligent in ensuring business is completed correctly, you have also kept me informed on a regular basis of all developments.
If I were to purchase/sell a business in the future I would have pleasure in using your services again.
Yours Sincerely
Mrs. Barbara Clayton - (Seller)
Bargain Booze
Dear Blacks
I appreciated during the time that the business was for sale that it was not the best of times due to the economic climate to be selling, but I was pleasantly surprised by the result you achieved.
You advised and guided us through the whole process with consideration and always with our best interests in mind. You provided a fast, efficient service on a one to one basis. We were kept up to date on any new developments which greatly alleviated a lot of stress and worry at what can be a difficult and uncertain time.
Our buyer was also most impressed by their service to both parties.
Now that our business has been concluded, literally, so successfully, I just wanted to drop you a line to say thank you so much for all your help and support during the whole process of the sale of my business.
The care and attention you took to protect my interests and to explain everything gave me tremendous confidence throughout the whole process.
I am actively recommending Blacks services to all other outlets looking to move forward.

Dear Jo,
Just a quick note to show my appreciation on the professional manner that Blacks Business Brokers dealt with finding me a new business premises.
After our initial meeting, where you identified the location and type of property we required, I viewed a suitable property within 24 hours and have subsequently moved in.
I am more than happy to recommend yourself and Blacks Business Brokers to any prospective clients who are looking to relocate business premises.
Yours truly,
Ben Horrocks (New Tenant)
Woodland News
I thought it appropriate to record my appreciation of your assistance in obtaining new tenants.
From the outset I was provided with an assurance that I would have no difficulty in finding a tenant, and that potentially you had a client base that might provide an early completion.
You acted quickly to advertise the business, in the press, on your website and a board was affixed to the premises almost immediately.
From a personal perspective Jo, you have kept in contact with us, keeping me well informed of all matters connected to our property.
You identified and evaluated a potential tenant, and following my discussions with the tenant was given the distinct impression that you were equally helpful to them.
You have remained committed to see the sale through, ensuring there were no delays, particularly in the legal process, which has been of significant benefit to both myself as the landlord and the tenant.
We have dealt with each other previously and having achieved a sale within two months of going on the market, given the economic situation, consider that you have again provided excellent service.
Can I thank you for your assistance, your help, advice and commitment it has been very much appreciated.
I would without hesitation recommend your services.
Regards
Phil (Landlord)

I would just like to take the time out in thanking Blacks Business Brokers you did an excellent job in selling our business in a professional manner.
As you know we shopped around for a broker before asking you to represent ourselves, you fulfilled your obligations, achieving an excellent result.
We know how much you enjoy your work and that you will continue to successfully sell business in a caring, responsive and confidential manner.
