We had an outstanding experience working with Anthony. Even though we were on the buying side, he assisted us with complete impartiality and provided everything we needed to make an informed decision. He guided us through the entire process from start to finish, clarifying details and educating us at various stages. I highly recommend Anthony Manks—not only as a sales agent for selling a business, but also if you are buying one of the businesses he represents, you can be confident you’re in good hands.
Anthony and the the crew at GSE Hospitality Brokers were so professional from the start. They came to the venue and met with us and really got a feel for what sort of person we were looking for to take over what we had created and continue the great service we had provided for years.
They gathered all the information needed in one go and were very thorough with meeting and greeting potential clients as a buyer.
Being the first time for us selling, a lot of it was unknown territory and Anthony was very patient and explained things well.
We got the sale and are very pleased that we chose GSE Hospitality Brokers as our broker.
Highly recommended them for your next sale or purchase.
After 10 years in business we made the difficult decision to sell our cafes and move onto something new. Anthony Manks was extremely professional and knowledgable, and helped guide us through the process from an initial enquiry through to settlement. The process was more complicated as it was the sale of two venues, however Anthony made us feel confident in the process. We were overwhelmed by the amount of enquiries received from the moment the business was listed with GSE and are very happy with the outcome. We highly recommend Anthony and GSE Hospitality Brokers.
Anthony’s approach to understanding our business was comprehensive and methodical. It was clear he had a deep understanding of hospitality businesses and the current environment within which they operate. Once he had appraised our business, he was able to highlight its potential and connect us to a number of interested parties without the need for public advertising.
Anthony was in regular communication with us, keeping us informed of progress along many fronts. He was very responsive to any questions or concerns we raised and this helped us jointly guide the process to an ultimate sale. We would have no hesitation in recommending the services of Anthony and the GSE team.
I had seen Anthony selling a number of popular cafes in the Newcastle area so I decided to reach out to Anthony to get an appraisal for one of businesses.
Upon appraisal we decided to trust Anthony to sell our business. From the start I was impressed with the way Anthony deals with everything, how transparent he is, and the extensive contact base that he has.
Like all sales, there were a few roadblocks that we had not predicted on our end. But had we not had Anthony, I believe our outcome would have been a lot different.
I would highly recommend getting in touch with Anthony, we look forward to doing future business with him.
Had the pleasure of selling my business with GSE. Anthony was our broker and can’t fault a single thing he did for us. From our 1st phone call through till settlement Anthony’s knowledge and advice was impeccable. He was a pleasure to deal with throughout the whole process and was always available to take our many many calls.
My suggestion to anyone out there thinking of selling their business is to contact Anthony straight away. If you want a business sold this is the man for you.
Can’t thank or recommend him higher.
Thankyou 🙏🙏
Anthony did a fantastic job, he kept us well informed through every step of the process, he was very actively engaged with the buyers and worked solidly to get the final result. I would have no hesitation in recommending Anthony and Paul from GSE to any prospective seller.
I couldn’t be happier with my experience working with Anthony as my business broker. From the start, his friendly and approachable manner made it so easy to communicate with him. He guided me through every step of the sale process with skill and empathy, and he was always available to answer questions and ease any concerns I had. Not only did Anthony secure a price for my business that I wouldn’t have achieved on my own, but he also took so much of the stress off my shoulders throughout the emotional journey of letting go of a business close to my heart. His support was truly priceless. I highly recommend Anthony to anyone considering selling their business – you won’t find a better partner for the process.
Very professional and friendly at the same time.
He worked with me to get the best possible outcome (not always in terms of the higher value). Focuses on the right fit for the business instead of focusing on higher $$$ value.
Would strongly recommend Anthony Manks, Thanks Anthony
Really great brokerage service! Anthony knows the hospitality industry well, he is very knowledgeable, and was fast and responsive throughout the whole process. Anthony found the right buyer for my cafe/burger shop within just a couple of weeks and he supported us through due diligence and the sale end-to-end. I had a top experience overall. Highly recommend.
Anthony walked us through the process of selling our business. I had no concept of how complicated and stressful selling a business could be and I don’t know how we would have achieved this without Anthony’s support.
Anthony Manks is a superstar business broker who takes a lead to manage both buyer and purchaser expectation and strive to go beyond to ensure client satisfaction.
Well done Anthony ! Looking forward to work with you to purchase a business again. Thank you once again , Div
I’m so grateful to have connected with Anthony on the sale of my business. Choosing an agent with a focus on hospitality meant Anthony really understood my business and was able to value it appropriately. He then guided us through the a very efficient sale process, communicating all the way and offering fair and balanced advice. Thanks Anthony!
Working with GSE was an absolute pleasure. Anthony Manks was so attentive and meticulous with the preparation for the sale of our business, from going through our financial to advise on the preparation of the ad and everything in-between. When it came time to screen buyers he was always there and made sure they weren’t tyre kickers so to speak and help us in the end pick the right person to buy our business. He followed all the way through to the settlement date, always available to take all our phone calls and answer any questions. I can not recommend GSE & Anthony Manks high enough.
