I am thrilled to share my experience working with Ruba and Ahmed, who successfully brokered the sale of one of my businesses. My journey with them began when I purchased the business, and I quickly realized how invaluable their support would be during what can often be an overwhelming and stressful process.
From the outset, Ruba and Ahmed demonstrated exceptional skill in keeping me focused and guiding me through each step. Their expertise, laser focus, and meticulous attention to detail made a significant difference in my experience. What truly stood out was their genuine empathy and dedication to my needs, which is why I chose to work with them again when it was time to sell.
Throughout the selling process, Ruba and Ahmed were always available to answer my questions and patiently assisted me in selecting the right buyer. Their integrity and personable approach made me feel like I was collaborating with trusted advisors rather than just another client. I never felt pressured or rushed; instead, they provided me with a range of options, empowering me to make the best decision for both myself and the business.
I wholeheartedly recommend Ruba and Ahmed to anyone looking for dedicated professionals who prioritize their clients’ interests. Their commitment to excellence and client satisfaction is truly commendable. Thank you, Ruba and Ahmed, for your outstanding support!.

Dear Ruba and Ahmed – I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with you both!! As you know – it was love at first sight 🙂 It has been my pleasure to have you in my corner, representing me. In fact, the whole staff at Sunbelt has been nothing short of spectacular. Thank you for “our” experience!

Selling your business can be very emotional and stressful. Ruba and Ahmed make the process as easy and smooth as possible. They were there for me every step of the way, offering support and answering questions in a quick and timely manner. I can’t thank them enough for helping sell my first business. They found a buyer less than a week after I listed my business. They represented both myself and the buyer in a fair manner. I have so much love and respect for them and Sunbelt! Thank you!

Ruba and Ahmed are the business services dream team! They made every step in the process of acquiring a company stress free, straight forward, and simple. Ruba is an absolute joy to work with and her expert knowledge was so appreciated during the sale. She was available at any hour day or night to answer our questions and address any concerns, she provided useful insights, and was a steady hand guiding us all to success. Her dynamic with Ahmed, who was a delight as well, really showcases the confidence and trust the two have for each other. As a client I appreciated knowing that the two of them had everything covered. If you’re looking to buy or sell a business there is no one I have more faith in than these two rockstars.

I don’t know if I can say enough about what a pleasure it was to work with Ruba and Ahmed from Sunbelt. I had NO idea what it took to sell a business, but it turns out I didn’t have to know that much. Ruba and Ahmed had all of the knowledge I’d need. All I did was send them the reports that they requested, and they took it from there. When we met with them after they had done the valuation on our business Ahmed asked us to write down what we thought our business was worth. My husband and I did that, and were very pleasantly surprised to find that we were way off in our estimation. Honestly, the whole “selling our business” experience was so painless, and we credit our brokers for that. We knew the whole time that they were on our side, and working for us. We felt confident that we were in good hands. And, now we consider them to be our friends.

Five Stars! Ruba and Ahmed are fantastic. I was ready to retire but was not sure whether or how I could sell my small business. In the initial meeting they provided a path forward that I could not have seen without them. They guided me through every step of the process from establishing a good selling price to coordinating the closing. I was very comforted by the fact they represented me each step of the way. Using the Sunbelt marketing system, they quickly found many interested buyers. Their experience in vetting buyers, coordinating informational meetings, setting up a document room, keeping the process moving, and completing the seamlessly endless tasks that this process requires was instrumental to the sales success. Thank you, Ruba & Ahmed! Ruba and Ahmed are each so professional, experienced, personable, and fun. I highly recommend them if you are considering selling your business.
