Testimonials

'When I made the decision to sell Ultralift Australia, I knew it wouldn’t be a simple transaction. Our business had grown into a multi-million-dollar operation, and the complexity of the sale required someone with extensive knowledge, advanced negotiation skills, and a deep understanding of the legal intricacies involved in mergers and acquisitions. Greg Johnson at Ascend Business Brokers exceeded every expectation I had.'

'Greg was recommended to us by a contact in AusIndustry to help us sell our IT company. We have just completed the sale following three months of intense negotiations led by Greg. During this time Greg was indispensable as a sounding board, finance and accounting advisor, coach and negotiator. He was the voice of reason when we were all losing ours, and his calm, sensible approach helped us to get through a challenging process with an excellent result.'

His expert advice and ability to structure the transaction in a way that benefited both the buyer and me as the vendor were key to achieving a fantastic result. Greg was able to secure an excellent deal that exceeded my expectations. I know I couldn’t have done this without him.'
