He found it through a LINK Business Brokers email alert.
“I was on their mailing list, keeping an eye on new listings when the opportunity for Tollesbury Enterprises came up—it stood out,” Stan explains. “The business aligned really well with what we are already doing at Fishing and Leisure Group, and it had plenty of room to grow.”
That discovery marked the start of a smooth and professional purchasing experience, thanks to LINK Business broker Alan Morpeth.
From the moment Stan reached out, Alan brought a steady and knowledgeable approach to the process. With years of experience, Alan understood not just the technical elements of a business transaction, but the importance of clarity, timing, and maintaining confidence for both sides.
“Alan supported us very well through the due diligence phase,” Stan says. “His communication was excellent, and he kept the process moving.”
Due diligence can often become a bottleneck, particularly when multiple stakeholders are involved. But Alan ensured expectations were managed and progress was maintained, all while keeping both parties aligned.
“Alan was very professional. He helped us and the vendor work through a structured transition plan. That was incredibly valuable—we didn’t just buy a business; we stepped into it with a clear runway.”
One of the biggest wins for Stan was how streamlined the entire purchase process felt. Where business acquisitions can often involve friction, delays or unexpected challenges, this one felt refreshingly straightforward.
“There weren’t any significant issues at all,” Stan recalls. “Alan managed the process so well that it just worked. It’s a credit to how thorough and detail-focused he is.”
That level of preparation and foresight made it possible for both buyer and seller to stay confident and collaborative, right through to settlement.
What stood out most to Stan wasn’t just professionalism, it was the human side of the process. Alan’s ability to bridge communication between vendor and buyer made a lasting impression.
“He had great attention to detail and was very effective in how he handled communication between both sides. We always felt informed and supported.”
And in business, that clarity can make all the difference, especially when you’re taking on a new venture.
If you’re an experienced operator, investor or aspiring business owner, the path to acquisition can be complex, but it doesn’t have to be complicated. Having the right broker, someone who knows the process, manages the detail, and puts communication first, can turn an intimidating process into a confident move forward.
“From start to finish, Alan made the experience a positive one. I’d recommend him—and LINK—to anyone looking to buy or sell a business.”
