Renee Conlon was instrumental in assisting us to procure a satisfactory sale for our business. Renee's communication and professionalism was first class throughout the entire process from start to finish - and I would definitely recommend Renee's services if you're looking to sell your small business to the right buyer.

Matty has been an absolute lifesaver to help facilitate the sale of our small business. From every step of the way he has communicated openly and effectively and represented our interests from start to finish.
The amount of time and stress that Matty has saved us is incalculable. Being able to handle the negotiations on our behalf and coordinating with buyers and legal parties to name a few, his involvement was essential.
I could not recommend his services highly enough. If you want to sell your business, do yourself a favour and contact Matty.

Lizzy done a great job in securing a buyer for my business. Understood what I was looking for in the sale price and made the sale go through seamlessly once the buyer came forward.

The whole process of selling our business with Bonza was a breeze with the support of Tim Clough. He explained every step of the way in clear and simple terms, as well as being there to help with any queries. Highly recommended.

When I first began the journey of selling my business, I felt completely out of my depth. From the very first contact, I received responsive, supportive, and genuinely accommodating guidance.
Although my sale did not reach the outcome I had hoped for — which is always a risk in these processes — the experience became incredibly stressful, overwhelming, and at times quite distressing for me. Throughout all of this, Matt was exceptional. He ensured I was consistently kept informed, took the time to explain every step in a way I could understand, and went above and beyond to make sure I felt heard and supported, not just treated as another transaction.
His integrity, compassion, and professionalism made an enormous difference during an extremely difficult period, and I am genuinely grateful for the role he played in helping me navigate such a challenging time.

Thank you Lizzy at Bonza, you guided us through the process and helped us find a business to evaluate, and lenders and brokers to facilitate. Highly recommended, I hope to work with you again soon!

We had an excellent experience working with Lizzie from Bonza to sell our business. She was incredibly responsive, kept us informed at every stage of the process, and provided thoughtful, practical advice throughout — knowing exactly when to push and when to hold back.
We initially considered selling without a broker, but after working with Lizzie, I’m so glad we didn’t. Her guidance and experience made a complex and emotional process feel structured, calm, and well-managed.
I couldn’t recommend Lizzie highly enough, and the wider Bonza team we dealt with were also fantastic. If you’re considering selling a business, having Lizzie in your corner makes all the difference.
This is simple. Bonza, with particular attention to Lizzy Crowe sold my business in under 6 months. Say no more. My appreciation is understated by words that I cannot find. Superb.

They were fantastic—always available and ready to help,They do a great job of checking buyers before they even look at your business, so you only deal with genuine prospects who can actually complete a purchase. They're also not as expensive as a traditional business sales agent. They organize all the paperwork and assist solicitors wherever they can.
For a smooth sale, use these guys — they’re the best.

Bonza were fantastic. It was very helpful dealing with experts each step of the way. Lizzy was our sales broker. She was excellent to deal with and provided great service throughout the sales process. I would highly recommend using Bonza for the sale of your business.
Amazing service, no problem answering my questions, even though I though my questions were a little silly,
I was made to feel very comfortable and my requests were met with understanding and empathy, thanks Henry, Mary ,Mark and team
Lizzy was beyond amazing to work with. From the beginning to the end she held my hand through every detail, had my back and was extremely supportive and professional. Her knowledge and dedication was more than I could’ve expected. I can’t recommend the Bonza team enough, truly an amazing experience!

The service was poor. They lost a sale and failed to secure a deposit, and the settlement date pass. Despite this, I still had to cover legal fees and other expenses. We asked Bonza to discount their fees on the next sale, but they refused and insisted on full payment. They offered no real assistance, and it was far from a win–win situation. To make matters worse, we handled the majority of the negotiation ourselves. I would strongly recommend carefully reviewing the fine print before engaging with Bonza. Even though they responded below. We did not use their contract as it was not suitable for a commercial contract but it is used as a selling tool. I recommend asking to view this prior to proceeding. Read the fine over as they charged a percentage based on stock. The second buyer was secured from our communication with them. Secure the steps to get the deposit secured, push for this to be done in a timely manner. Bonza did not follow this through as I made several calls for this. Our lawyer followed all steps accurately, it was not his end that slowed it down.

Signed up with Bonza Business and Franchise Sales. The reason I signed up with them, was they advertised that they will advertise your business with them until your business has sold with one full frontal fee.
Just received a letter from them saying, sorry unless you pay more money, we will no longer sell your business for you. To be honest, no one from Bonza rang overall to see if we should try different pricing or a different tactic to sell the business.

Matt was exceptional at communication. He made sure that his client was well served during negotiations while still ensuring my points were conveyed in the clearest way.
I first signed up with Bonza to sell my business before Covid. The timing was not great & was followed by interest rate rises.
I had some concerns that Bonza would stay motivated to sell the business as time went by. However, as my broker Matthew Newton stayed on the case throughout & proved to be a motivated & supportive partner in my sale.
Matt showed integrity throughout the whole process. Matt punctually communicated with me at all times. He gave me his honest advice & expertise in helping me navigate my own expectations while honouring my decisions.
As we provided potential buyers with information , discussed options & offers it became clear to me what the most important outcomes were.
Ultimately we found a buyer through a personal contact. Something I would not have been able to achieve without Matt’s advice & experience.
I wholeheartedly recommend Matt to anyone selling their business.
