Australia’s Business Brokers

Leeann , 30 Jun 2020 I first met Nikki when I started looking for a business to buy and she has taken care of me ever since! She has mentored me, educated me, and supported me throughout. She helped me pick the right salons to suit my lifestyle and has worked with me to develop my strategy. She achieved this because she took time to get to know me, my time limitations, and my skills & capabilities. They she found me the right fit! She has even recommended solicitors, products & staff to work with. She is really is a one stop shop of help, guidance and support and I could not have bought my 2 amazing salons without her! Nikki – you really are No1 Broker in the country and I am proud to say Angie & I now consider you a friend, thanks for being on this journey with us!

She is personable and easy to get along with and I would recommend her to anyone and would definitely use her services to sell or buy a business going forward.

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.

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!
