Australia’s Business Brokers

I recently sold my business using Benchmark Business Sales and Mick Godwin as my sales broker. From the day I enlisted his services he was professional, always prompt to respond to any questions/concerns and communicated clearly each step of the way. Mick ensured I had everything in place for potential buyers prior to listing my business for sale, which took away all of the initial stress I had been feeling, as I knew I was in good hands. I appreciated his honest guidance throughout the entire sales journey, including initial listing price advice, negotiating with potential buyers and then closing the sale and I can’t recommend his services highly enough! Thank you Mick! -Katie Elliott | May 2022 Mick Godwin receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.

Sam , 06 Feb 2020 Thank you, Nikki, for everything you have done in finding my salon for me. It only goes to show you how good you are when I am already on the phone looking for my next salon to buy and came straight to you. You have sent me some further salons and taking your advice as always. Yes, I look forward to our next deal.

Kathy Edgar , 01 Jan 2018 I bought a salon previously through a different broker, but I had spoken to Benchmark in the past and knew they had the inside knowledge and professionalism to get my salon sold. I decide to list it with them and got a great result, we even organised settlement after the Christmas trade, which was a big bonus for me to keep the Christmas dollars. I’m now able to make a fresh start in 2018 – Thank you Benchmark.

Anne-Marie & Craig , 13 Dec 2018 My husband and I were on the lookout for a fully managed business as an investment and as a gentle entry into the small business world. We were lucky enough to come across Nikki who was extremely patient in helping us navigate the unfamiliar terms and environment. As novices in the small business world but experienced in general business we found her to be extremely knowledgeable and she answered all our queries without hesitation and with such a supportive approach. We believe she was out to represent both vendor’s and purchaser’s interests and to make the process as smooth as possible. We are very pleased to have started our journey and highly recommend Nikki as a broker
