BizBen Testimonials

We sold our cafe due to the advertising in your website! In a little over one month time we received over 10 emails, 24 phone calls and over 722 buyers who checked out our businesses for sale on your website! I recommend your site highly to all my business owner friends to sell their business . . .
- R. Ayyuub - Owner/Seller

Just wanted you to know how thrilled we are with the results of our FAST TRACK posting (ad) we have with you. After starting the ad only 3 weeks ago we have received over 18 emails, and over 44 phone calls - and now have 3 offers on our business, one for all CASH! Thanks for your great website - perfect for business owners who are looking to sell their business and got alot of results!
- L&L, Persson - Owner/Seller

Appreciate the the referrals and recommendations for SBA loan financing for my business deal I just completed, I could not have done this deal without it. Your Buyer's ProBuy Program is so worth it just for the resources alone. Just knowing I could qualify for a SBA Loan for a business purchase opened up many more potential acquisitions when I was searching. Also your recommendation to include a Buyer Profile and PFS Forms back with NDA's made me make look more credible with brokers/agents while searching. Will be referring your ProBuy Program to other potential buyers.
- T. Gartner - ProBuy Program

Found a pharmacy that matched my criteria thanks to your Buyer Outreach Program. Many Agents, Brokers, and some owners contacted me based on your service. Good way to get info out and get deals done!
- V. Singh - ProBuy Program

This is a thank you letter to you for the wonderful job you did in selling our business through your FAST TRACK Advertising Program. We were very happily suprised at the valuation you put on our business. We had no idea of the real worth. You brought us an extremely qualified buyer - in fact we had two full price offers for our business - thanks to your efforts and the FAST TRACK Advertising Program. We are so happy with the buyer, which we chose. He is so qualified, and is growing the business and taking it to the next level. As we discussed, this was like sending our "child (the business) to college. You are truely a professional. You not only valued the business, brought us qualified buyers (through the FAST TRACK Advertising Program) but also arranged for the financing. We are now enjoying the fruits of our 21 years in business, thanks to your efforts. We are very much enjoying our retirement. We have already referred friends in business to you so you can do for them what you did for us.
- M&L Anderson - Sellers

I would like to continue with the same restaurant for my primary fast track. That is the one I am trying to push the hardest. I must say, since you switched me to the new Silver Advertising Program for brokers & agents, the exposure has increased significantly and I am getting many more inquires than before. I can definitely see the difference. I am going to take some pictures of the featured restaurant and email them to you to include. Thanks very much for your help. I am very pleased with the initial results.
- Jeff Back, Restaurant Broker

Got to tell you at first I was disappointed when the BizBen Advisor (ProBuy Program) let me know that I would not qualify for an SBA Loan (my credit score is low, plus other items), but can't tell you how appreciate I am that we disccused other forms of financing options. Now when I am searching for a business I know what I can and can't afford and how to structure my deal properly. You saved me a ton of time.
- R. Lowes, Buyer, S. CA.

Today I advertised my business for sale as an owner (FSBO). Your website was super easy to use and resourceful. Within the first 20 minutes of the posting being placed I received 3 phone calls from interested party's! WOW! When I decided to sell my business, your website was the first place I turned. The tools & services you offer access to have provided me everything I need to feel comfortable in completing the transaction myself. I have been using BizBen as a guide for many years now. Infact, it was even a major resource for me when considering transitioning from being and employee, to owning a business. Your companies personalized attention is second to none and has given me even further confidence in moving forward! Thank you for creating this online platform, it is very much appreciated!
- B. Frere - Owner, Salon & Spa

We are in escrow now on the sale of the bowling alley/restaurant/bar we had advertised with you. We had an awesome response - over 1000 hits on our posting in your website, and we will definitly be using your services again to advertise our future businesses (resales) for sale.
- O. Mendez, Real Estate Agent

You guys are keeping us really busy - very happy with the results of our advertising on BizBen.com. We easily get between 40-50 phone calls/emails a day on the ads we have advertised with you - car washes, gas stations and hotels/motels. Please increase the number of postings we have with you from 20 to 30 postings (program) immediately. Thank you.
- Earl Carson, S. CA Broker

I am very happy with the the results from BizBen's Fast Track advertising service! I have had excellent response to my ad and the extra cost of placing the ad is well worth the investment!
- C. Russell - Owner/Seller

I have to tell you that BizBen.com has been the best advertising website for me and I will resume my business with your company, when I return from my family trip!
- I. Pezhman - Realtor, Agent

I am tickled to pieces with the response to the advertising I do with you in comparison to our advertising in the LA Times. We are on your 30 Listings - Line Advertising Program and the number of calls to the cost is so much better than the local papers! Our response to your advertising has increased our calls by 80%.
- Mike Nesh - Broker

Thank you for your assisted buyers ProBuy program. Utilized this amazing program for business buyers to locate, and eventually buy a cafe restaurant in the San Fernando Valley. I was able to save my search requests and your Email Alerts for new postings added were great. Oh by the way the resources you also suggested - i.e. escrow and SBA loan lenders was very helpful.
- E. Hull - Buyer: ProBuy Program

The buyers went into escrow yesterday with our full price offer of $550,000! We are going to carry $50,000.00 at 8% interest for 48 months, and they are getting an SBA loan for the balance. I think they are excited about their new business venture and of course we are excited to have such an enthusiastic couple to pass our "baby" to. Thank you so much for your guidance and help, I will recommend the Fast Track Advertising/ProSell Program at BizBen.com to all our self-employed friends and relatives who may want to sell their business in the future!
- C. Lopez - Owner/Seller

Would use you guys again in a heartbeat! We had over 100 calls on our business for sale in BizBen.com and we were getting at least 3 calls a day until we just closed escrow this week. I heard about your service from another business owner, and I will tell other owners who want to sell about your services!
- M. Lottman, Seller/Owner

My advertising posting (Electrical Splicing Contracting Business) sold to a Buyer, who one day started just searching for what's out on the market and found my listing on BizBen. C-10 license required, this sold for the asking price ($300,000.) Get this; the business is located in Tracy and the Buyer lives in Benicia and will be commuting! This was purchased using SBA, buyer injected $60,000 down . . .
- John Irvine, Business Broker

Having sold businesses for 22 years, I have found BizBen to be the best value in responses. With a few minor exceptions I have not had to use other advertising media in the last year. It appears that many seasoned buyers use BizBen.
- Bill Bruno, Business Broker

We have just completed the sale of our business, and want to thank you and BizBen for helping us to find a buyer who will continue our business and make it grow to even more of a success than it currently is. One of the things that clearly caught us by surprise was during the last, frenzied week of activity. The buyer decided to take over our studio 5 days sooner than expected, so we had to rush through things like making final arrangements with the landlord. The latter was great, but one thing that occurred to me was how delicate all the little parts that go into selling a business must fall into place for the whole thing to go through. There are issues of buyer financing, landlord negotiations, transfer of services like phones, websites, insurance, suppliers, etc. etc. If I had to do this all over again, I would have had a checklist available, and been prepared with all paperwork and phone numbers, ready to go.
- Valerie S. - Seller

Thank you so much for your expert advise and great service that helped me sell our business quickly and without any hassles. I will absolutely use your service again and recommend it to any one buying or selling a business. Just another happy customer, Todd Armstrong.
- Todd A. - Owner/Seller
