Our People
Denny has a long career in all forms of business including Corporate Management with International and National FMCG organizations, with vast experience in the fields of Operational Management, Sales and Marketing Management, Franchise Business Management to Small Business Owner / Operator of Motels, Courier and Supermarket businesses.
In 2007 Denny saw the need for a good communicator with a strong understanding of business operation to offer a Business Broking service second to none. Denny's combined experienced gained over many years in the Corporate world and small business ownership has taken Business Brokering to new heights with with the Business Sales Group that includes NQ Business Sales, CQ Business Sales FNQ Business Sales and SEQ Business Sales, a very automated business utilizing technology to gain reach with unprecedented response in offers, time and product in the most professional manner.
Denny's focus is to satisfy Sellers and Buyers during transactions to deliver only good outcomes. In addition to this grow the business base and maximize the use of latest technologies to deliver a quality product.
Phil started his working career in purchasing with large and multi-national companies in Sydney.
A family relocation to Bowen in 1974 was the catalyst to owning his own business.
Phil has been in various businesses from Pest Control to Delicatessen/Takeaway and has for the last 39 years built a wholesale business that has served Bowen, Whitsundays, Mackay and the Coalfields, from 1 truck and himself to 6 trucks and 15 employees.
This has given Phil a very solid knowledge of the area from Bowen to Rockhampton and what it takes to thrive in business there.
Phil has a strong knowledge of business and business practices built through the process of growing his own business as well as time spent on State Franchise Council and dealing with the many changing government policies in those 39 years.
The process of selling his own business has shown Phil the real need for a locally based business broker, easily contacted and heavily focused on the Central Queensland area, which has led to his involvement in CQ Business Brokers.
The thing that stood out to me most from dealing with Denny from NQ Business Sales was the personal connections to professional services he had to facilitate the business purchase. Through these connections I obtained legal advice from a Solicitor who was extremely easy to deal with and Finance through a very knowledgeable Broker who in tough circumstances secured funding. Denny continually devoted time and provided assistance through the whole process with communication and participated heavily in the preparation of a business plan
Mainly due to the location we weren’t expecting to sell our business overnight but Denny was very tenacious, maintaining the advertising and continually fielding inquiries until we found the right buyer. Denny made putting the deal together easy as he drafted the contracts had them signed and passed them on to the solicitor.
Daryll Pearce – Bethel Carpet Cleaning and Specialised Services “We listed our business with NQ Business Sales after hearing positive reviews from other business owners. On initially meeting with Denny we were impressed with his industry knowledge and professionalism. Through all stages of the process Denny communicated with us and worked hard to find a buyer for our business, in a much faster time frame than we expected. Denny was extremely helpful in assisting us to navigate the process from start to finish and I would have no hesitation in recommending NQ Business Sales to others wanting to sell their business”.
NQ Business Sales offers a professional service for the business owner. From the initial meeting, through negotiations with potential buyers and to final stage of sale of our business, Denny Leet delivered a package which was mindful of our intentions for confidentiality and the need for a seamless and stress free sale. His lines of communication were always open and his dealings with our solicitor regarding contract negotiations were proficient and polished. Alan Dean Classic Coffee Company Townsville
In the past I have never rated Testimonials very highly but I must admit in this instance I cannot more highly praise Phil Dodds, Denny Leet and the team at CQ Business Sales. CQ Business Sales organized for a prospective buyer for a walk through on the 23rd May 2020. The next day we were in negotiation phase and on 28th May 2020 a contract was signed. The Buyer, BDS Mechanical Repairs P/L were seeking a quick settlement and to our amazement settlement occurred on 1st June 2020. Ten days from walk through to settlement! This was in no way a small feat. The team at CQ Business Sales had the “Fire in the Belly” to make it happen. Given our experience I would certainly recommend CQ Business Sales to everybody wanting a result and Fair Dinkum service. Harry Roestenburg - Henderson Motors
I just wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for all your help and guidance throughout the purchasing of our business. Your expertise and support were instrumental in making this settlement happen. From the initial research to the final negotiations, you were always there to provide valuable advice and insights. Your patience and attention to detail were much appreciated, as they helped us navigate through the complexities of the transaction. Not only did you assist us in finding the perfect business opportunity, but you also guided us through the necessary paperwork and legalities. Your knowledge and professionalism gave us the confidence to move forward with the purchase. Additionally, your willingness to answer our countless questions and address any concerns we had made us feel supported and reassured. Your prompt responses and availability were truly invaluable, especially during those moments of uncertainty. We are extremely grateful for your dedication and commitment to helping us achieve our goals. Without your assistance, we would not have been able to successfully acquire this business. We look forward to a prosperous future and we are excited to embark on this new journey. Once again, thank you for your help and guidance. We are lucky to have had you throughout this process.
