Drag The Cursor
We recently sold our business through Benchmark. This was probably the biggest thing we have ever done, but we felt supported and guided throughout the process by all involved at Benchmark, in particular, Will, who always made himself available. Although the process was complex, and required a lot of input, it made sense as it was explained at each stage. It was ultimately successful, resulting in several good offers, meaning that we managed to sell to a company within our industry, who were a perfect fit.
