"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 can now see why John Kasapi is the best business broker in the country. He it truly outstanding at what he does and how he delivers amazing service. It is impressive to see how easily he made the sale go so smoothly. His pro-active approach was refreshing – not once did I have to ring him to find out what was happening with the process. He would even call me to touch base if he didn’t have an update – just to keep in touch! I’m also buying another salon business at the moment though a different business broker and I can see the difference between the two is so wide. I have dealt with a few different business brokers over the past few months, and some have actually lost their client a potential sale due to lack of communication. I still have not completed the other business purchase yet which was started 6 weeks before this one. I can understand that John really has the process down pat and just makes it so easy to move through the many steps that need to be completed. When I am ready to purchase another business in the next 6 months I will not hesitate to work with John again. Thanks John! John Kasapi receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.

" We found them so helpful all the way through the sale which took quite a while and required a lot of changes from the buyer. Keith communicated with us and kept us up to date with the sale the whole time. The team were great help with guidelines on forms and emails that needed to go to our solicitor to keep the sale on track.

Steve and Robyn Aird, 20 Jan 2020 - We appointed Glenn Irving of Benchmark Business Sales and Valuations as our broker. We could not have been happier with the result we achieved in the sake of our hardware business. Selling a business is tricky and the regular meetings that were conducted during the contract process kept our sale on track all the way through to the final settlement. We were so happy that we then asked him to sell our commercial property. Glenn Irving and his team brought me a buyer within 2 weeks. Great job and we could not recommend Glenn and his team strongly enough. Glenn Irving receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.

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

Chris , 06 Feb 2020 I have always wanted to buy this salon and Nikki made it possible. At first, I was reluctant to share any personal details with Nikki but once I met with her, I instantly trusted her and opened. She helped me from start to finish and even pushed hard at the end when I wanted the salon to settle at a certain date and she promised she would make it happen. She did. She is a strong woman, working to help other strong women to achieve their dreams!
