Testimonials

“From our first contact with DMA we were impressed with the discretion and professionalism displayed by team. The structure was clearly outlined, well explained and concise. Whilst the initial costs were somewhat confronting it was clearly backed up by a proven system that works and gets results. The procedure from preparing and gathering the information to then assembling it into an Information Memorandum was intense and time consuming for all parties, but all of the hard work done at this stage was essential to any potential purchaser and the end result of the Information Memorandum (IM)was a quality product that represented our business accurately. Once this document was approved by us at a true and correct record it was then over to the marketing team to tell the world. There was much discussion as to how this should happen, but we followed the professional advice of DMA and they advertised our business thru their own contacts and widely to their data base. The process of us approving any prospective clients before they received our IM worked very well and the feedback from the team as to the pros and cons of releasing our IM was imperative. The transparent online system on each prospective client's status at any time gave us a clear understanding of where we stood at any particular time. Whilst this process was long, we eventually came up with a serious prospect and the attention to detail and professionalism that Blake Davis displayed was outstanding. His clear understanding of our business combined with his accounting skills is what made this deal happen. His advice was balanced, well thought out and definitely had our best interests in mind at all times. As we worked our way thru the Term Sheet and then the Share Sale Agreement his communication was outstanding whether that be a Tuesday lunchtime or a Saturday afternoon, he was always contactable and would always advise well in advance if he was unavailable. We thoroughly recommend Blake Davis and the DMA team and congratulate them on a job well done.”

“I have recently sold my business through DMA. While they came recommended to me by a colleague, I was sceptical whether their value would match what I first considered to be an expensive fee structure. At the end of the transaction now, I have completely changed my view. We could not have achieved the results without them and they were worth every cent. DMA committed a whole team of highly skilled people to the task and their technical skills and value add, quickly became apparent. The complex due diligence process involving hundreds of documents could not have been better managed and I constantly felt in safe hands. The sale of a business is highly stressful and requires a highly experienced and capable set of hands to gently guide and support the process to achieve the desired outcome. I cannot speak highly enough of our Senior Account Manager, Michael Yared and his team, who were amazing communicators and excellent negotiators. I would highly recommend the DMA team.”

“DMA provided an excellent service in the sale of the business. Starting with the initial fact-finding interview, data collection and the development of the marketing plan. This resulted in an early response from the eventual purchaser. DMA were highly professional throughout the entire pre contract period assisting to negotiate a price above expectations. Through a difficult contract process DMA led the way to secure a final deal & contract settlement. I could not recommend (their) contribution highly enough.”

“Was very impressed with all aspects. IM was very well presented and informative. DD process was excellent and data room highly professional. Michael was a great resource and had the right mix of being very accessible and responsive without being too pushy.”

“The team at DMA ran a thorough and exhaustive marketing campaign for the business but were mindful of our preference for discretion. Interactions with potential purchasers were tracked and managed efficiently and transparently. The due diligence and transaction negotiation processes were handled professionally with the team being highly responsive to the needs of the various stakeholders. Ultimately, they achieved our key objectives of speed, certainty and value maximisation and it was a great experience working with them.”

“We were purchasing a business, where DMA were advising the vendors. The IM was professional and well written. The DMA team were friendly, commercial and responsive. We had open lines of communication. DMA were a pleasure to deal with. I can't think of any areas that DMA could improve. I was very impressed. Specifically with Mark, Tony and Jeremy.”

“Our experience with DMA was only positive, and the selling process run by DMA exceeded any expectations when we commenced the process of selling our business. The clarity of purpose and structure of method made the process easy to understand, manage & achieve the outcome we desired. The Information Memorandum was concise, well presented, professional, and focused on the positive aspects of the business without having the feel of "overselling". We were delighted with the marketing of the business where, from the time the business was uploaded for sale, we were updated with enquiries and expressions of interest from potential buyers. It appeared that there was no shortage of potential buyers which reflected well on the marketing strategies. At all times Tony, Blake and Jeremy were clear in their advice; constructive in their suggestions; and, most importantly understanding of our experience in running a business, but not necessarily in the sale of a business. We were certainly most grateful of late night phone conversations, and Tony & Blake's sage advice and wisdom, on a number of occasions. I am fairly certain that we would not have achieved our outcome without the assistance of the team at DMA. We are very appreciative indeed.”

“My brother and I engaged DMA to sell our company. We couldn’t have done this without them. This process was a lot harder than we had ever imagined and we were glad that we went with DMA. Right from the start with advertising and through the whole process the team at DMA was always there to assist. The advice was always there when we needed it and was always clear and precise. We lent on DMA from the start to finish and we were very grateful for all the help and guidance. We would highly recommend DMA to any company planning to sell.”

“From the first interaction with DMA we were extremely happy with the professionalism displayed in terms of their responsiveness, communication and team approach. The IM created after engagement was very thorough and canvassed all aspects of the market that would be of interest for potential clients. The ongoing process of communication, advice and support during the sales process was excellent and continued to impress. The issue of confidentiality and discretion in an industry that is relatively small was dealt with sensitivity and in a manner that enabled the ongoing operation of the business mitigating the risk of any issues. DMA’s negotiation process was strong and subsequent discussions with the buyers established that they found DMA to be pleasant to deal with whilst ensuring our best interests were met which was extremely reassuring to hear.”

“The whole sale process for us was handled very professionally from start to finish. We were very impressed with the large database of prospective buyers that DMA had available to market our business to, which was spread widely across all relevant sectors. The Information Memorandum document produced was very well put together and gave prospective buyers a very good insight into the nature of our business both in terms of our business operations and financial performance. Our DMA consultant Chris Mitchell kept us fully informed all the way through the sale process and he worked tirelessly and persistently carrying out negotiations over a considerable period of time. There is no doubt in our minds that the sale of our business was largely due to Chris's hard work and negotiation skills and we are very appreciative of the time and effort that he put in to the sale process on our behalf. We highly recommend Chris and DMA to anyone who is considering the sale of a business.”

“I wish to pass on my heartfelt and sincere thank you for an outstanding job in everything you have done in selling my businesses... ...There are many facets of your overall service which I would like to mention, far more than just trying to find a buyer and making a sale. You have always been very open and authentic in any discussions and dealings with all parties. Your availability to travel to meetings, respond to phone calls, provide information is unquestionable. Clearly this is something that most people, myself included would only do once in their lifetime. You have always been there to hold our hand and walk us through the various stages of the transaction. You have given us confidence throughout this transaction. The way you and your team have managed the data room and information has been fantastic and certainly generates a high level of confidence to the prospective buyer. This process does bring up some emotional challenges from time to time but you have always been there for us passing on sound ideas and wisdom which has gone a huge way to keeping us and the transaction on track. I will be forever grateful for your support and achieving the ultimate outcome, but you provide far more than just a sale. Once again a huge thank you to you and your team, everyone has done an outstanding job and I would have no hesitation in recommending you to any other buyer or seller.”
