SUCCESS STORIES
“Darren was committed to selling my business from the first day. His professionalism, drive, guidance, and support made a very challenging and demanding situation for anyone selling their business an incredible journey. It was such a pleasure working with Darren and I would highly recommend Darren to any business owner(s) looking to sell their business; his confidence and trustworthiness provided comfort and clarity throughout the entire process.”
“Finding a business broker when I first decided to list my small business was difficult. Most brokers did not see the value of my business, and wanted to practically give it away. Through a referral, I met Darren Ruel and within a couple meetings, had my business listed. My business was sold to a qualified buyer within 60 days of the listing for almost asking price (which was almost triple what another broker told us to list for). Darren has been extremely transparent through the entire process, and would recommend him to anyone buying or selling their business.”
“Darren beat all expectations. I recommend him, without hesitation, to anyone looking to buy or sell a business. We interviewed several realtors before I was referred to Darren, a business broker- and I’m glad I chose to move forward with him. He understands how to properly assess and market a business. He also gave us realistic expectations and came through! Darren worked with us and the qualified purchaser, and assisted both parties right to closing. I will certainly work with him in the future. Do yourselves a favour and look no further.”
“We had a fantastic experience with Darren as our business broker helping us sell our family-owned business. It was the best choice we made. Darren’s experience and professionalism helped us list our business at the right price. He brought numerous qualified buyers and helped us sell our business quickly, at a higher than listed price. Darren was on top of everything throughout the process, making sure things stayed on track, and he was always available no matter what questions we had. He facilitated our sale from start to finish in a calm and reassuring manner. He was sensitive to our reasons to sell and that our business had been in the family for generations. We trust Darren and couldn’t have achieved our goals without his help. We would highly recommend Darren if you want to sell your business.”
“When I decided to sell my business, I reached out to several business brokers. After meeting with Darren, I decided he was the best qualified and felt like a great fit. Darren guided me through every step of the process with professionalism, patience, and clarity. He was always available for my calls, as well as those from my accountants and lawyers, and worked with me from start to finish. Selling my business was very stressful for me, but Darren exceeded my expectations by making the process clear and manageable. His professionalism, reliability, and attention to detail resulted in a sale price that exceeded my expectations. Darren is an excellent broker, very efficient, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to sell their business.”
