Australia’s Business Brokers

Suzette Jones , 01 May 2018 Wow Wow Wow This process was a whole lot easy than I ever thought it would be – I listed and sold within a matter of weeks. I had heard so many horror stories but my sale was a breeze. I had been in my salon for over 25 years and it was my baby! To finally come to the decision to sell my salon was a very emotional period for me and even more of a struggle was to find someone that I could trust and understood my concerns and needs! I had to know that I was going to work with a broker who understood me and our industry and wasn’t just full of hot air and over promising and under delivers. I had done my research and couldn’t have been happier with my choice to use Benchmark, the process was seamless and before you knew it, it was SOLD!!! I was even overseas while the settlement happened, this just shows how hard Benchmark worked on getting the salon sold quickly and how well they managed the entire sale, and they really do have the contacts within the industry and get the job done. Wow Wow Wow!!!

"We initially tried to buy a business which in the end the seller didn’t want to sell, we thought this was crazy but John referred us onto a new one that came on the market and this one worked out to be a better fit. It was an absolute delight in chatting to John during our salon hunt and he guided us so professionally throughout the entire time and now my partner has her dream salon. Thanks again and good luck with the cricket." - James Polland | 05 Feb 2020 John Kasapi receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.

Mark , 01 Feb 2018 I contacted Nikki after finding her as the agent for many salons in Sydney. She found me a great salon that suited my needs. Nikki and I worked together from there as she broke down the information about the salon of interest. She assisted with all aspects of the purchase, despite me sometimes being overseas and in hard to reach areas. She facilitated all the negotiations with landlords and vendor on my behalf and also recommended a solicitor that she works with to help with the contract. Great salon- great job Nikki. Thanks for all your help

"I was recommended to talk with John through a valued industry contact. I must admit It took a while to find the right buyer but once we did I couldn’t have had anyone better look after the sale and the process.  I was super anxious throughout and I had the added pressure of the world wide pandemic of the corona virus shutdown looming on us, amazing job! John did a phenomenal job to keep the buyer engaged and to complete the deal even thou he faced a one of the biggest obstacles in our lifetime. If it wasn’t for John I would have never ever achieved this result, his services are worth every cent."

"I recently sold my salon using Benchmark. Instantly I thought of John Kasapi from a few years ago when I was looking to buy a salon because he was the only broker who I ever felt comfortable with and admired his knowledge. This turned out to be a smart move as John was very experienced in this aspect of the business and he found me a buyer in a short space of time and the sale went through very smoothly and hassle free which enabled me to move on to my next chapter in life. I would strongly recommend using John from Benchmark when buying or selling salons." - Neela McGilton | 08 Apr 2019 John Kasapi receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.

Name Undisclosed , 13 Dec 2018 This is a very exciting time for us, as we have just purchased 6 new sites to add to our current portfolio and a new private product line! None of this could have been made possible if it wasn’t for Benchmark, as we had already purchased a site with them before we were on their radar.  They came to us with this opportunity and we knew it was a sound investment, yet again Benchmark stepped up each and every time when matters needed to be addressed. They assisted us with leasing and ensured that the lawyers stayed on track!! Which was a task in itself.  We look forward to working with Benchmark again in the future and would recommend anyone looking to expand their business.

Milan Shah , 01 May 2018 We had been recommended to use Benchmark to help us find our first salon. They did an awesome job and were unbelievably professional. We found that everyone spoke so highly about Benchmark, they sure do have a great reputation. Thanks Benchmark we are absolutely delighted with our purchase

Sam from Benchmark assisted in the selling of our business of 35 years. In what could have been a stressful and emotional period. Sam's calm demeanor and unwavering support was invaluable. He was always accessible and eager to answer any of our concerns. The result was the sale of our business. A job well done!  - Sandra Glynn

Nicole , 13 Dec 2018 WOW– what a journey! I contacted Nikki 18 months ago when I was pregnant with my second child and she helped me find a buyer for my salon. I decided that I could cope and was reluctant to sell so I changed my mind! Nikki advised me that 2 kids (talking from her own experience) was a lot to handle but understood my decision. After the birth of my son, I realized that I just wanted to spend time with my young family and so my first call was to Nikki. She brought a couple of buyers through and we found the “right fit’ when Amy came along. I knew my clients would love her. Today, Amy bought my salon and I can now relax & enjoy bring my time with my beautiful children. Better still, Nikki negotiated that I still work in the salon one day a week but with flexibility! Thanks Nikki for the perfect result. I am delighted with the outcome

Gino , 01 Jun 2018 I contacted Benchmark when I was looking for a business to run “under management” and they showed me one that had literally just come onto their books that morning that they thought would be perfect for me. Benchmark walked me through the numbers & provided comparisons too. They took time to educate me about the way to get the best from the salon. Benchmark introduced me to the current owner, who had similar skills & background, which put my mind at ease. I understand that my broker looked at the best businesses for me to run & matched that perfectly. Well Done Benchmark – you nailed the brief!
