LINK was founded in 1996 on Executive Chairman, Ray Kingston’s vision of establishing a new paradigm in terms of service and professionalism that was lacking in the business broking industry. Today the entire team at LINK, led by Ray’s business partner and Director, Aaron Toresen are uncompromising in upholding these principles of delivering exceptional service to business owners and purchasers alike.  LINK has grown to become the pre-eminent business brokerage in New Zealand based on these values and through the selection and development of outstanding brokers.

Our mission is simple:

Facilitate the sale of businesses ethically, confidentially and with utmost integrity.

Our exceptional success rate attests to the quality of our brokers and our focus on successful outcomes for all parties.  LINK’s unique success system is founded on workplace training, competency based standards and rigid quality control practices.

LINK has underpinned the development of its service model with extensive market research.

This research and its analysis clearly points to the position which LINK has adopted of:

• Establishing awareness of broking as a professional and specialist service 
• Ensuring LINK is the leader in terms of Authority and the Customer Experience

LINK has helped many hundreds of owners of small and medium sized businesses (SME’s) maximise their value and exit smoothly, while introducing new buyers to exciting business opportunities.
