Join the LINK business broking network.

1. our partnership
with you…

2. “The development of the LINK business broking system arose from
the need for a new style and culture of business brokerage.”
o LINK was formed in 1996 in NZ. Founded on a vision of ethics, service and professionalism
o LINK has helped many hundreds of owners of small to medium sized businesses (SME’s) maximise their
value and exit smoothly. Over $25 million of conditional sales per month.
o Over $1 billion of businesses sold to date
o The success and growth of LINK is largely attributed to three key factors:
(1) Specialist brokers & divisions
(2) Embracing Technology and shaping it to our benefit
(3) LINK’s unique success system, founded on work place training and competency based
standards, which translate into proven training and operations procedures which have been
documented in easy to follow sales and administration manuals incorporating appropriate
policies, protocols and practices.

revenue. Mark has expanded his offices and is looking at
taking on more support staff and further brokers.
The three principals of NBS in the Gold Coast joined LINK in 2009
and has grown from 4 brokers to 11 even during the very difficult
economic environment that has plagued that part of the country.

proven brokers.
