I’ve worked with Zircom across two business acquisitions, and I’ve been impressed by their professionalism and their ability to walk both parties through the acquisition process step by step. Acquiring a business is not straight forward, especially if you haven’t been through the process before, and there are many angles that need to be tackled and dealt with. Whilst I’m an experienced buyer, the way David and Catherine supported the seller through the process was exactly what was needed. I’ve been very happy with the two transactions we have been part of and both have been successful additions to my business.
We worked with David and Catherine over several months during a transaction where they represented the sellers. From the outset, it was clear that their deep experience and expertise added immense value, streamlining the entire process for both parties. They were highly approachable and proactively identified key considerations early on, which proved incredibly helpful. I would have no hesitation in using their services again. Having a knowledgeable, trusted partner during such a crucial transaction makes all the difference.
Engaging Zircom to handle the sale of our engineering and manufacturing business was one of the best decisions we made. From the initial market preparation right through to settlement, David, Catherine, and the team provided exceptional guidance, maintaining absolute professionalism throughout. Navigating a business transaction with larger corporate buyers can be complex, but Zircom’s structured approach, clear communication, and commercial experience kept the deal on track and ensured a smooth outcome for all parties involved. We couldn’t recommend Zircom highly enough to any business owner considering an exit.
It was such a pleasure to work with David and Catherine. They were with me every step of the way from the time I listed the practice to the time of settlement. You could tell that they had a lot of experience and that they knew exactly what they were doing. They constantly kept me informed and nothing was too much trouble.
I would highly recommend Zircom Business Brokers and I will always be recommending them in the future!!
It was a pleasure to work with David and Catherine from Zircom. From the time of listing my accounting practice to settlement, the process was made simple and seamless. Communication all the way through the process was nothing short of amazing and with the many years of experience and knowledge in selling accounting practices, the whole sale process was a great experience. Always available if you needed to call and I think go above and beyond any other business brokers I have used over the years.
I would recommend David and Catherine to anyone looking at selling or buying a business.
Thank you David and Catherine.
It was a pleasure to deal with David and Catherine from Zircom. They made the process of buying the business simple and efficient. Nothing was too much trouble and we’re grateful for their many years of experience which makes for a smooth process from both a buyers and sellers perspective.
I have no hesitation in recommending David and Catherine from Zircom.
We were looking for an Accounting Practice and we had a first meeting with David. He quickly identified what type of organisation would be a good fit for us, to either merge or acquire and literally within a few weeks we had two meetings setup with prospective businesses to acquire. The second one was an extremely good fit and after a few small road bumps the deal was concluded and everyone was satisfied by the outcome.
He had a guiding hand on the tiller throughout the whole process, but I think the greatest skill he had was to identify what type of culture and style would match with ours. When those match the whole process is a lot easier and quicker.
I am happy to attest to the skill and professionalism of David and Catherine at Zircom.
The sale of my practice was made a whole lot easier by the following three factors.
Firstly David’s ability to extract the facts regarding the practice and discuss with me during the whole process which potential buyer was a good fit for the business.
Secondly the timeliness of responses to my many queries. David was available for queries, if not immediately then within a few hours.
Finally David’s easy going manner coupled with a wealth of experience which he was able to communicate calmly and effectively made the completed transaction a satisfying and successful one.
Thank you David and Catherine.
We were referred to David from our Accountants to get our business valued. Our family had owned the company for over 20 years but after a key family member passing away a few years prior, we made the very difficult decision to sell.
From the first meeting with David and Catherine, they were professional, personable and seemed to genuinely care about helping us through this process.
We can say with certainty that David helped us explore all the options available to us and was a great support throughout the whole process. We could turn to him with any question or ask for advice about anything.
David and Catherine are very experienced and knew what to do in each situation to ensure we received the best outcome.
We highly recommend David and Catherine at Zircom Business Brokers to anyone wanting to buy or sell a business.
We acquired our first business in 2020, Zircom was the Broker. It was our first time buying a business and we were very wary of what to expect. David & Catherine helped us and made the purchase a seamless event.
We have recently purchased another business via Zircom approximately 14 months later. Once again David & Catherine assisted us and the sellers throughout the entire process. I am grateful to you both. Your ethics and business acumen is an essential ingredient in helping us make the right choice. Thank you.
We first met David and Catherine of Zircom Business Brokers in May 2017 as we were thinking about putting our business on the market.
Fast forward three years and smack in the middle of COVID-19, we decided to sell. With no hesitation whatsoever, we contacted David and Catherine to offer them the opportunity to sell our business and to put it on the market. They helped us with all of the documentation that was required and were in constant contact whilst looking for a buyer.
Within three months they had found a buyer and the business was sold.
During that time, they kept both us, and the buyer, fully informed by email or telephone explaining every step of the sale process. We could contact both David and Catherine at any time, no question was too big or too small. We found them to be both to be very professional, but also very approachable.
We highly recommend David and Catherine of Zircom Business Brokers to anyone looking to either sell or buy a business.
We have had a long association with David Screaigh and his company Zircom, as we were referred to them by our accountant.
Zircom found us a buyer who was interested in a manufacturing business like ours, and it looked as though the sale would take place at the end of February or early March 2020. However, Covid-19 came along, and we thought for sure that we had lost the sale, the only person who did not was David. Over the next 3 months, David stayed in touch with “the buyer”, and through his patient, persistent, and pure determination, we were able to successfully sell our business. The buyer was very happy as well and we have formed a good relationship with him during the sale process and afterwards, so we know the loyal clients and staff will be looked after. As David said it is really a matter of finding the right buyer with the right circumstances, and this is exactly what he did.
We are sure if it was not for David’s, “never say never”, positive attitude we would have lost “the buyer”, so for anyone considering selling or buying a business, I would highly recommend David and his team at Zircom.
