Very Bad experience dealing with BCI. I would not recommend due to unethical behaviour. I was used as bait to encourage another buyer to increase their offer although contracts were already drawn up but not yet signed. Very sneaky tactics and definitely not how businesses should conduct themselves. Following this, BCI emailed me the new contract that should have been sent to their other buyer. Complete disregard for privacy and confidentiality, how BCI are in business is beyond me. Don't trust your business sale or purchase with BCI.
I've worked with Tony and his team at BCI for more than 7 years. They have always been extremely helpful, professional and diligent. I have no hesitation in recommended BCI Business Brokers
I would like to share my experience working with Tony Arena of BCI Business Brokers. Tony was attentive, supportive and totally professional in securing me the right buyer for my business. At no time did Tony push me to accept an offer, but instead was happy for the process to take as long as was needed for me secure the right buyer. The most important thing for me was to have a buyer who had similar values to me and someone who the clients and my loyal team would be comfortable with. Thank you for your help Tony and for bringing a sense of humour to our dealings, it certainly made the process a painless one. I am very happy to recommend Tony Arena from BCI Business Brokers to you.
Tony and the team have been great, they are informative, responsive and always help where required. Their expertise in the industry, I believe is one of the best in the business. Wouldn’t be where we are today with them.
I have dealt with Tony as a buyer and he is always very professional and timely. when we are looking at these services, we need someone to always be prompt and Tony and the team are amazing and honest. Thank you.
We purchased an Accounting Practice that was listed with BCI Business Brokers to merge with our existing practice. We had some very specific details and outcomes that we wanted to achieve as part of the purchase.Tony listened to us and delivered. He was very hands on without being overbearing or pushy.He made sure that our interests and that of the vendor were really well aligned and that the ongoing relationship for all of us was going to be an extremely positive oneIt made for a really pleasant and stress free transaction.Can't recommend Tony or BCI Business brokers high enoughTop notch 👌
Tony and Josh were very supportive and patient throughout the entire process of selling my insurance book. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending BCI to any prospective buyers and sellers of their business.
Had a great experience selling our business with BCI they guided us through whole process and were always upfront and respectfully .I would use them without a doubt
Tony at BCI has been great. His service is fantastic, one of the best in the industry. A true professional, prompt and thorough with responding and actioning any request, genuinely wants to help the prospective business purchaser by asking the right questions and supplying the right information and following that up. A win win for both a prospective business purchaser and also a business owner myself I would definately use his services to sell my business down the track and recommend Tony. Thanks for all you help, been a great experience. Pedro and Mim :)
I had the pleasure of meeting Tony at one of his seminars few years ago. Since then he has provided me with an ongoing exceptional ''hands on support'' you can't generally get in text books.Thank you Tony.
I have know Tony for many years now, BCI is a business you can trust. He provides an honest and straight forward approach to business owners. His service in business brokering and valuations is outstanding and I highly recommend BCI to any small business operators looking for the best outcome for the sale of their business.
I have known Tony Arena over many years, initially I was a hospitality industry operator and now as a business consultant. I can testify to his effective sales skills to achieve outstanding results for his clients, a great credit to his Business Brokering skills.
Tony and the team did a great job sorting out my Uncle's business when he passed away it made it alot easier for my aunty and the lads were able to keep working and finish off the contracts Thanks again Simon
I have had the pleasure of dealing with Tony Arena @ BCI for years now. He is a true professional and always puts his clients interests above his own. Tony is as good as they come!
I have known Tony for years and am happy to endorse his business. If you are considering selling, I suggest you talk to Tony early so he can help prepare your business for sale and ensure you receive the profits you have earned.
Tony is the go-to industry vault of knowledge and experience over many years. If you want to prepare your business for the best possible outcome, talk to Tony!
I've had the pleasure of knowing the owner of BCI, Tony Arena for many years. Tony's a "giver", committed both to his clients and to his colleagues in the industry, for whom he is deeply respected.
I've known Tony, and his business BCI, for over 15 years. I was first exposed to him through my bookkeeping business, Compliance Bookkeeping, as I had some clients who were looking to sell.Tony always brings valuable insight to the process, and I have no hesitation in recommending both Tony as an individual, and BCI as a brokerage, to anyone who is serious about ascertaining the true value of their business.Tony is also regularly involved in community fundraisers, a subject close to his heart.
BCI Business Brokers are a truly professional operation, responsive and 100% service driven. Efficient, on top of the detail and easy to deal with.Highly recommend
Without a doubt, the leading business brokers in the country. You couldn't or shouldn't go past BCI Business Brokers when selling your business. Having many dealings with Tony and the team, I highly recommend BCI Business Brokers.
Working with Mr.Tony was a great experience , All details and communication are great and faster. A++ Business Owner / Outstanding Experience - Thank You Mr.Tony
