Testimonials
Below are testimonials from Vendors, Purchasers and Solicitors that give you an insight into the service and expertise that Axis Partnership provide.
”Selling a business is one of the most stressful events anyone can go through. I am extremely grateful for the assistance provided by the Axis team and in particular your good self. Being there when it really matters is not something you can put price on especially when lawyers were involved. At all times I knew that if I needed help I could either call you or Robin and there would be help at the end of the line.” Pervez Nawaz, Guardian Bournemouth
“ The principal reason for writing is to thank you for your assistance on that transaction. I think it was a good example of advisors working together to create a genuinely innovative solution to what had appeared to be a lost cause.” Lockett Loveday, McMahon Solicitors
“ Eve and I would like to express our thanks and appreciation for all your help and support in seeing through the sale of our business. Without doubt, your professionalism in first finding us a buyer and then working unstintingly towards the conclusion of the transaction was the hallmark of the ultimate success. That you found us not one, but two buyers, is a mark of the service you provided to us. And knowing that throughout the whole process your staff were available to lend assistance in your absence eliminated any anxieties we had. I have absolutely no hesitation in saying that, if ever we have a business to sell in the future, your company will be the first number on the top of our list of priorities to call. Well done, Robin, and thank you so much for everything.” Paul and Eve Callan, Colvin Nursing Agency
” Having built up and run my lettings business for the last nine years, it took a long time to make the decision to sell the business and after contacting Axis they explained in detail all the steps that I would go through in order to reach a sale. Having never sold a business before, this was exactly the sort of help I needed. Once on the market I was extremely impressed at the speed in which three initial appointments with prospective purchasers were set up. The team at Axis negotiated an excellent price for me and because the sales process had been explained fully, I was not left with any unexpected situations. We completed on the sale of the business within four weeks. I hold the Axis Partnership in the highest regard and will be recommending them in the future ” Ms Lynne Moss, Time Essential
“ Thanks for your assistance and please pass on our thanks and best wishes to others at Axis who have helped achieve this sale” Mr Ian James, Brook Care Agency
“Axis was the first Company I approached as I knew they specialised in Recruitment, and the valuation was as they assured me – confidential, realistic and I was under no obligation to proceed with them. I was extremely impressed with their professionalism and knowledge in my sector. At the valuation Axis told me it would take between 6-12 months to achieve a sale. Throughout the process they performed above my expectations, and found the right Purchaser for me who offered the price I was looking for. I would like to thank all involved for their help in achieving my goals” Mrs Kay Wardley, Head Start Recruitment
“My association with Axis evolved from an initial enquiry which was handled very professionally, with the required levels of confidentiality. Moving forward a sensibly based valuation was achieved. It’s clear that Axis as a business including its staff have extremely high levels of professionalism, and provide a sensible and common sense approach to proceedings to speed up the deal.” Mr John Patrick, Javelin Recruitment “From initial contact through to the final negotiations, I felt I was able to communicate openly with Axis, knowing that the appropriate level of confidentiality would be maintained. Communication was excellent throughout, Adam ensured that all parties were kept up to speed at all times, with a feeling that all views expressed were independent and not in favour of either party. Overall I would describe the service as excellent and I would certainly recommend Axis to anyone thinking of buying or selling.” Mr Tim Oldfield, North & South Recruitment “Having decided to sell my Company I contacted Axis who I found very user friendly, with a visit arranged at my home to discuss the next step. I found all staff very professional and helpful, and once I instructed them to sell my Company interviews with qualified prospective purchases were soon arranged. Kate, my dedicated broker, attended the first interview with me and was very helpful and supportive throughout and kept in regular contact with me. Any time she was not available there was always someone I could contact who knew about my sale. I would be happy to recommend Axis to anyone looking to sell their business and I was very happy with the service I received” Mrs Sue Burt, Guardian Homecare Limited “The valuation was as I had been promised, confidential and specific to my Industry. From previous valuations I had an indication of what my Company was worth, however Axis explained how this figure was calculated and what was realistic to achieve for my Company at that time. Having had a recent bad experience with another agency I was very apprehensive as to the outcome, but I have to say the negotiations were handled in an efficient and extremely professional manner. I was kept informed of proceedings at all times and would not hesitate to recommend your Company to any of my colleagues in the Care industry.” Mrs Susan Smith, Safe Hands Community Care Ltd “Axis Partnership have successfully sold two companies for me, first my Lettings Business and now my Block Management Company. I have been very happy with Axis over the years. They have an understanding of the property industry and gave me superb service throughout the process. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone interested in selling their business.” Mr. John Peartree, Vendor of two Property Management Companies “Now that things have calmed down for us, I just wanted to put pen to paper to express my thanks at the way we were treated during the acquisition of Bralin Recruitment Ltd. This being my first experience of purchasing another company I was understandably nervous, however you explained this process thoroughly and literally held my hand from start to finish. Due to the service I received from Axis I now have the confidence to begin my 2nd acquisition and am pleased to be able to deal with Axis again. Once again thanks to you and all the team.” Jessica Marshall, Absolute Recruitment Solutions “Having experience within business was one thing but when it came to acquisitions I had no knowledge. Axis 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. Their knowledge in my business field helped tremendously as they could interpret my analysis of the business for sale and understand our business jargon. Our Broker was always helpful, on the ball and there every step of the way. Considering Axis was recommended by my franchisor I was not entirely sure what to expect but was very happy and their recommendation was well founded.” Mr Wayne Mearns, Belvoir Lettings Franchisee “Overall I felt Axis did an excellent job and brought a very lengthy and constantly changing deal to a satisfactory conclusion. I was always kept updated.” Gloria Barnes, Chaseway Packaging “Thanks for you kind comments, but I do think this one was a team effort. Glad we got the result, and even earlier than originally expected!” Solicitor – Purchasers “Thank you also for acting as the go between when things got difficult! We hope to do more with you and hope these go smoothly” Joint Owner of a large Multi-Branched Healthcare Provider – Purchasers “Axis achieved the result I wanted quickly and professionally. They succeeded in keeping the details of the transaction confidential and were on hand for advice and assistance every step of the way. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.” Vendor of Lettings Agency“By involving Axis as our Business Transfer Agent it meant we weren’t approached by timewasters, saw only serious potential buyers and most importantly achieved our goal of selling the business whilst keeping the deal confdiential.” Vendor of Residential Lettings & Property Management Agent
“I would like to express my thanks to you both for your sustained efforts and commitment – very professionally conducted, especially the last week or two!” Managing Director Of International Recruitment Company “This was a difficult transaction exacerbated by the sellers solicitors. The broker did an admirable job maintaining the momentum during some trying periods of the transaction” Purchaser of Packaging Company
“Thanks for all your help in this – it would not have been done without you” MD of large National Care Group – Purchaser “I have no hesitation in recommending Axis to future buyers or vendors due to their, professionalism, confidentiality, accuracy, approriate and realistic valuations, and knowledge of the Care Industry” Vendor of Domiciliary Care Agency “May I take this opportunity of thanking your organisation for the initial introduction to the buyer and to compliment your team in the manner in which negotiations have been conducted on our behalf” Chairman of PLC Recruitment Agency “The service was exemplary and I would have no hesitation to recommend Axis in the future. On behalf of myself and all the Shareholders, may I thank you” Tom Alger, Colston Cleaning “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, we had only heard of Axis Partnership from a mailshot but all our dealings, from the first visit onwards have been conducted most proficiently. One area in particular stands 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. You promised to introduce genuinley interested parties and you certainly delivered” Mr David Nussey, Response (East Midlands) Care “Many thanks for your help in purchasing this Company. We look forward to working together again soon to help with our planned growth” Buyer of Janitorial Business “Thank you for taking us through a very difficult time and I will recommend you in the future” Company Director
