Testimonials
Martin’ Spencer – Cowgills helped us plan and manage the whole process. We would strongly recommend Sam and Josh to anyone looking to sell their business.
Mustaq Chandia – We now appreciate that the journey to a successful exit will present many challenges. Expecting a buyer to take comfort in future potential is a seller’s pipe dream. Buyers need comfort when it comes to revenue security and continuity once a seller has left. This requires credibility, and skilled objection handling, not forgetting a sense of humour during the journey ahead and throughout negotiations!
With so many qualified suitors peddling their wares of past successes and the whole selection process of a suitable partner becoming a blur, the decision in finding the right team will ultimately come down to the comfort in knowing someone appreciates your life’s efforts with the same passion that we have enjoyed over many years of hair loss! Whilst understanding one’s future needs.
The Cowgills team were a joy to work with, reassuring at every hurdle, enthusiastic and embarrassingly understood the merits of our business to a buyer far better than we did!
Our heartfelt thanks to Josh Harper and Sam Davies for their assistance in helping us navigate through a journey we will reflect on with fond memories for many years to come.
