What founders say after the close.

We measure ourselves by what the people who sold us their businesses say once the deal is well behind them — not in the press release.

The process was far simpler than we expected. From the first conversation to the day we signed, Linkstone were straightforward, moved quickly, and did exactly what they said they would. We handed over the keys and got on with our retirement. The business is still going strong.

We had been approached by buyers before and the conversations always felt uncomfortable — lots of questions, lots of conditions, and the sense that everything would change the moment the deal closed. With Linkstone it was different. Clean process, no drama, and our team are still in place doing what they have always done.

I was nervous about what would happen to the business after I left. I had built it from nothing and the staff felt like family. Linkstone were very clear from the beginning — they were buying it to keep it, not to break it up or rebrand it. A year on, nothing has changed for the people who work there, and that means everything to me.

We completed the sale in under three months from first contact. Linkstone knew what they wanted, the legal process was smooth, and we were never kept waiting. As former shareholders we have no involvement in the business now, which is exactly the clean exit we were looking for.

What stood out was how little disruption there was — to us during the sale, and to the business afterward. Our customers noticed nothing, our staff carried on as normal, and we received everything we were promised on the day we agreed. Linkstone do what they say.

Selling a business you have built is an emotional decision, not just a financial one. Linkstone understood that. They were patient with our questions, transparent throughout, and when the deal was done, we walked away with complete peace of mind. The business is still running well and we hear good things.
