Testimonials
“From start to finish, Richard, Fiona and the team have been brilliant. We wouldn’t have been able to sell our business as smoothly and with such a high multiple without their help. As soon as the offers were received, we knew we had made the right decision.”

Complete peace of mind around the whole process and representation. We were especially impressed with the negotiations. We've recommended Harris Acquire to our other Chartered Accountant contacts.
Jordan G
Over 8 months, we had 6 offers on the table which blew us away. All offers were within our expectations based on the valuation. Negotiation around terms was without fault. The previous board members and I unequivocally recommend Harris Acquire. Thank you and keep up the good work.
Melissa Williams
Quick and efficient onboarding, effective marketing to the right calibre of acquirers. We were delighted to be presented with 3 offers across a 5 month period. We will be using Harris Acquire again for another company of mine later next year. Thanks Richard & Fiona.
Josh Perkins
We've enjoyed working with Fiona and Richard over the past year, thank you for your patience - we've thoroughly enjoyed our education around the M&A process and were very pleased when accepting a higher than anticipated offer.
