A Match Made In Business
In the realm of business ownership, success often hinges on the right opportunity meeting the right individual, and for Rahul Rattan, this dream came true when he happened upon Kelly Club East Auckland. “The Kelly Club Franchise and the incredible work it does immediately caught my attention.“
Rattan’s journey to becoming a franchise owner began with a friend’s recommendation to explore LINK Business Brokers, and eventually, JD Hyslop, a high-performing business broker with impeccable acumen and impressive negotiation skills. Drawing on his extensive knowledge of the industry, Hyslop truly understands the significance of business acquisitions, having navigated similar processes for his own ventures. In fact, his achievements have earned him the coveted No.2 ‘LINK Top Seller New Zealand’ award in 2023, a testament to his outstanding sales portfolio. This expertise allowed Hyslop to seamlessly guide Kelly Club East Auckland towards acquisition.
Hyslop stands as one half of a dynamic duo, complemented by the unwavering dedication of Nick Stevens, a Director of LINK and an award-winning broker in his own right. With an impressive track record of assisting over 350 business owners in marketing and selling their business since 2001, Stevens has become a revered figure in the industry. His commitment to helping business owners prepare for successful transactions has earned him the prestigious ‘New Zealand Salesperson of The Year’ award within the esteemed LINK group. The combined expertise of Hyslop and Stevens offers clients a winning combination that inspires trust and confidence. With their unwavering dedication and strategic approach, they empower business owners to make informed decisions and achieve optimal results in the competitive market of business sales.
Kelly Club East Auckland is part of a thriving franchise network with a widespread brand recognised across Australasia and an exceptional reputation for enriching the lives of children. By promoting fitness, building confidence, developing communication skills, and teaching respect and empathy, the business aligns perfectly with Rattan’s own values and aspirations. Rattan commends Hyslop’s professionalism and effective communication throughout the sales process, “JD was a huge help and made the process go smoothly. He maintained constant communication and was always available.” Hyslop meticulously guided Rattan through every step, ensuring the transaction’s success. “JD supported me through due diligence and provided assistance throughout the entire sale process.”
However, as with any business acquisition, there were obstacles along the way. “Maintaining communication with a few key individuals involved in the purchase presented challenges, but JD handled everything and promptly addressed any questions.“
With Rattan at the helm, Kelly Sports East Auckland is poised for further success. Rattan shares the franchise’s mission of inspiring a life-long love for sports in children, setting the stage for an active and healthy future generation. Looking back at his experience with LINK, he says “I’m very satisfied with the process and would highly recommend JD and LINK.”
