A little about my background

I specialise in the sale of larger businesses - having sold a large business priced in the $50 to $100 million bracket and more recently sold a business priced in the $150 to $200 million bracket. Sales such as these take patience and expertise; and they do not happen overnight, but importantly they do happen! I particularly enjoy the process involved with these sales, from meeting the owners and gaining an in-depth understanding of their businesses through to finding the right buyer; however I am still happy to market and sell most businesses with a value of over $1 million.

My background covers nearly 35 years in the motor industry, and 5 in the export industry owning and operating our own businesses where sales skills were the necessary prerequisite, so moving into business sales came very naturally to me. I accepted the offer to become a business broker in 2002 and quickly rose to the top of my field, receiving industry accolades along the way. In conjunction with my wife Lynn and son Brett we opened Barker Business Brokerage in 2007 with a clear goal of providing and maintaining an honest and ethical business brokerage with the emphasis on our reputation and credibility. Judging from the very positive feedback we are receiving from vendors and customers, our goals are being realised.

About Barker Business

The entire Team at Barker Business understand the process of buying and selling businesses, many having owned their own business previously. Our goal is to make the process easier for you. When you list with us exclusively we make promises that we strive to keep. We promise to keep you informed at least weekly with an update on progress which will leave you to get back to doing what you are good at, running your business. Communication is the key to our success!

Confidentiality is kept paramount throughout the whole process which is reflected in our mission statement, "Business Sales with Integrity".

We are a boutique brokerage, taking on fewer listings in order to devote our time and expertise to the sale process and concentrate on making a sale and achieving the best possible price for the vendor in today's market; as opposed to just taking on businesses that we have very little chance of selling, and/or accepting any offer or the first offer simply to get a sale across the line.

If you are thinking about selling, don't hesitate to contact myself or any one of our team.

Unique Wholesaling Business Run From Home

Here's a business you can really sink your teeth into... Supplying top quality dental products at great pricing to clinics nationwide! This unique business model allows for very little input from the owner who is currently based overseas. We are told the business can be run from anywhere with as little as 10 minutes input per day, as the core of the business is run through an outsourced administrator who takes care of the day to day orders and general enquiries. By taking on the administration role, a new owner could increase profits and explore new opportunities. Sole distribution rights are in the form of a written agreement from the major supplier who offers top quality product at very good pricing. At the moment, the business only has 80 to 90 customers however a fantastic opportunity presents itself for a new owner to get stuck in and grow the customer base as there is a possible untapped market of over 1,900 potential clients. This business ticks over nicely on its own accord but with a concentrated business and marketing plan, the results could be mind blowing considering the size of the market it has yet to service. This new age business is showing returns of $120,000 managed. On the market at $450,000. If you would like to find out more about this well run operation, please visit www.barkerbusiness.co.nz, register your details and submit the online Confidentiality Agreement for reference #1781.
