"Selling a business can be a daunting time and there is a lot of preparation required to get a business to the market, but Anika took charge and worked through the process with us. She understands figures well and is well organised and prepared. She made the process as easy as possible for us. Anika is realistic on her projections and has a very honest approach. Our marketing campaign was very professional and within a short time we had multiple interested parties. Our business was Christchurch based and the marketing reached far which resulted in interest from the Auckland/North Island area, and also multiple Australian parties. Some of the interest was from investor companies. Anika is very driven and represented our best interests in the negotiations while being professional, showing integrity and tenacity the whole time. She achieved a contract all parties were happy with, and then followed through the due diligence process to completion. We are impressed by Anika’s professional integrity. She is intelligent and has a good business knowledge. She does what she says she will do, and we highly recommending Anika’s business broker services. I have recommended her to several of my friends who have already or are going to list with Anika."

"The business purchase we were involved in had many challenges, and I can honestly say if it wasn’t for Anika’s supportive persistence, and intermediary presence, the transaction would not have proceeded to a completed purchase. During the purchase process Anika was very professional, and although she was working for the vendor and was representing their best interests we still felt she was very supportive and honest."

"Our first thoughts of possibly selling our business brought nerves and uncertainty. From our very first meeting with Anika we felt like we were in very good hands. She took the time to really understand our business and why we were selling. Next steps were organised and the process began. Being guided every step of the way we were totally at ease and trusted Anika completely. We were given regular updates and were amazed at the leads that followed. Anika was an absolute professional both with ourselves and interested parties. She was proactive and innovative. A successful outcome was reached and we are almost sad to lose the association we have with Anika. We would recommend Anika to anyone wanting a stress free process and complete professionalism. Anika is someone you can trust and we can highly recommend her."

"I found Anika very professional with regards to negotiating the deal for us. There were times when I felt frustrated about the level of information, she would provide but from the vendors point of view she was doing her job and not giving anything away she shouldn’t in the way of information. Therefore, I would recommend her to any vendors wanting to sell their business as she certainly has their best interests at heart."

"Anika Gamba managed the sale of our business in an efficient and friendly manner which resulted in a quick result. We were kept up to date with what was happening throughout… she's definitely knows what's she's doing! We were especially impressed with how Anika managed privacy around the sale. This was particularly important to us and she managed it very well."
Vendor 2021
"I found Anika Gamba to be very responsive, prompt and up front with information. She kept us up to date with progress and provided whatever information we needed throughout the process, so we knew where we stood at all times. Anika was pleasant and very easy to deal with, always ringing back, we weren't left waiting for long periods of time… she was very proactive in her approach to managing the sale of the business and the process was very straightforward with Anika.
We would highly recommend Anika Gamba and we have already referred her services to others since the sale of the business."
Vendor 2021
"I can highly recommend Anika as she managed the (sale) process conscientiously, diligently and with dogged determination in a pleasant and supportive manner. It is useful to have her motivation assisting both sides of the deal to help them through the long, rigorous periods while they still have to do their day jobs. What we liked the most, working with Anika, was her diligence in managing the process and maintaining forward momentum toward a conclusion. She kept in touch with both the vendor and purchaser, checking for issues and overcoming them early or calling them out for the other party to attend to. The major benefit in using Anika, was having a conscientious advocate managing the process and ensuring forward progression to an outcome. Another significant advantage was that she worked with the vendor to prepare their business and the information required to sell it. This effort also included supporting the vendor’s motivation to sell and helping them through what must have appeared to be an arduous and long DD period. Well done, Anika thank you again for your very helpful and useful support!"
Purchaser, November 2020
"Thanks Anika for your help and support during the sale of my business. Really appreciated your sincere support for helping someone very amateur as to how a business sale proceeds. I would highly recommend your services to others if they have the need for a broker."
Vendor, November 2020
“I'd like to thank you for helping me through this process. I have looked at a few businesses and you are by far the best broker I have worked with. Thanks for your time and patience.”
Purchaser July 2020
"We met Anika Gamba from LINK Mid-March 2020 and were sold. Anika won our trust and confidence immediately. She worked hard to understand our business and its place within the business sector, then worked even harder to present these benefits to a purchaser. It was important to us that the sale was a win for both vendor and purchaser, and that fitted well with Anika’s approach. She bought 11 times the number of interested parties to the table versus the previous agency we listed with and prepared 5 offers. Even while under offer Anika had back-up offers in place. These results were extraordinary given the escalation of Covid 19 during this period. Anika is one heck of an agent! We found Anika to be a genuinely hardworking and honest broker with excellent communication skills, please make the time to meet with her. You will not regret it."
Vendor June 2020
"Anika was so easy to deal with, she is friendly and approachable and we felt we could go to her at any time with any queries we had. She was also super professional, was quick and efficient, and her communication throughout the process was fantastic. She made the business selling process a lot easier than we had anticipated. We wouldn't hesitate to use Anika again in the future, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone considering selling their business."

"We used Anika Gamble from Link to sell our pregnancy testing of livestock business in Taranaki. We found Anika to be very helpful in every aspect of the sale. She gave us advice on matters that we had never encountered before and virtually held our hand through the entire process from start to finish. Anika is very professional but at the same time very approachable and friendly. We highly recommend using Anika and the company she works for to anyone considering selling their business."
Vendor – Nov 19
“I have been lucky enough to use Anika’s business broking services on two separate occasions now. Once to sell my business and secondly to purchase a new business. In both situations I have found Anika to be approachable, open, honest and professional. The sale of my business was complicated and protracted and Anika managed the process incredibly well. The purchase was a much smoother scenario that Anika managed very efficiently. I would highly recommend Anika to anyone wanting to buy or sell their business… you will not find a business broker more professional and hard-working than Anika Gamba.”

"We would highly recommend Anika Gamba from LINK Business Brokers to sell your business for you. Anika conducted the sale process professionally and was always positive that she would find the right buyer for our business. Her willingness to follow up every lead in order to find that person was exemplary. Friendly, confident and very knowledgeable in selling businesses, Anika guided us through what was a totally new experience and never gave up that she would get that result for us. The fees charged were extremely reasonable and the marketing levels were many and varied so that we could choose what we were comfortable with. LINK Business Brokers are a very professional organisation that get the results you want."

"We would like to take this opportunity to say and BIG thank you for all that you have done for us, with regards to the purchasing of our business, which was Diesel Doctor Ltd and now named Diesel Doctor & Petrol Christchurch Ltd. We could not have done this process without you, you have walk through it with us in all angles, through the toughest times to the not so tough times. We will most definite recommend you to others should we know of someone who is looking to buy a business. However you are the highlight of our discussion amongst friends, and we have recommended you to people we know should they be interested in purchasing a business. You have been amazing and we are truly grateful to you for all that you have done for us and for helping us achieve our goals."
Purchaser April 2019
“We couldn't be happier with Anika's service. We were totally at ease having Anika handle the sale of our business. Once she had the required information from us, she handled everything from then on and we were more than happy to let her do so. We completely trusted Anika and felt she really had our best interests at heart, Anika even got a higher price for us than what we were anticipating. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Anika to anyone selling their business, she is highly professional and a pleasure to deal with.”
Vendor August 2018
"Anika took the time to understand our business. She showed good to great brokering and negotiating skills on our behalf. During a reasonably unstable “buyers” market, Anika was able to create opportunities and interest for our business. LINK had an extensive network of potential buyers for our business, and each opportunity was vetted carefully before presenting to us. This ensured our time and energy during the sale and purchase phase was directed at qualified and business ready operators. Anika showed great flexibility and loyalty to us during the sale process, even calling in on progress while in South Africa on Holiday."
Vendor – May 2018
"We had been trying to market our business on our own for quite some time with little success. After reaching our limits, we partnered with LINK and were recommended to work with Anika. From day one, she was incredibly professional and knowledgeable. She conducted an independent appraisal that reflected the market value of our business exactly where we thought was realistic, which gave us great confidence in the selling process. Thanks to her expertise, she secured two written offers that met our expectations. While our privately conducted marketing efforts over nearly a year yielded only 80 enquiries, Anika managed to generate nearly 300 enquiries in less than three months! Her targeted strategies during peak season resulted in us receiving 100% of the appraised value—not a single dollar less—a truly remarkable outcome. Anika made the entire selling process much easier by finding the right buyer who truly valued our business. Even though we knew the buyer beforehand, we never thought our business could be the right match for them, and we would not have been able to motivate them sufficiently without her negotiation skills. Every promise she made was fulfilled exactly as she said, and she deserves every cent of her commission. Anika exceeded our expectations, and I’m incredibly grateful for her exceptional service. If I were looking to sell another business in the future, I would definitely partner with her again."
