Australia’s Business Brokers

Lisa Oakes , 08 Apr 2019 I got a phone call out of the blue from Clyde who said that he had a buyer and really wanted me to list my salon so that he could introduce them to my salon, it was all quite random but the timing was perfect because I was scheduled to have surgery early in the new year and would be out of action for months after the surgery. I was a little dubious that there really was a buyer, but I actually received an offer the day after I signed the agreement! Things definitely weren’t all smooth sailing though. The contract period went over the Christmas break and then the buyer had to go overseas for 6 weeks and all the accountants and solicitors were also on holidays! I thought the sale was off however Clyde was very calm and reassured me that the sale would proceed when the buyer was back from overseas, which it did. Now I can focus on my recovery without the stress of running the business, awesome job!

CJ Morello- , 01 Jan 2018 After looking at many salons with many brokers – we have finally bought a fantastic salon. Thank you for all your dedication and patience throughout. You understood our brief and worked together with us until you found us the perfect salon. I will be back in touch for the next one soon!

Angela Jankovic , 21 Feb 2019 It is with pleasure to write this reference for Belinda who is assisting me with selling property on the Gold Coast. I have only known Belinda for a few months but can express my appreciation and gratitude towards the way she has assisted me through the process of selling a property. It can be quite daunting at times, but Belinda just knows how to take that pressure off you by her wisdom and knowledge of the industry. Belinda is very efficient when it comes to communication, always keeping me up to date on whatever is transpiring, which is very important to me, thus displaying confidence in her ability in selling property. She is passionate about her industry and the Benchmark slogan of “We value your business, you’ll value our experience” is exactly what Belinda provides. I have no hesitation and recommending Belinda to any prospective client wishing to sell their business/property, requiring the services of a woman whose honesty and integrity are beyond question.

"I’m finally sitting here relaxing having a mani-pedi after selling my salon after 15 years.  I’m so over the moon that I chose the best business broker on this planet to help me sell my business. If I have another business to sell I will make sure I write into my Testament/Will that John is the broker to sell it. I couldn’t have done it without him. Look forward to catch up over a bottle of verve. Thanks you so much, Jo x. Joanne Zaunbrecher." John Kasapi receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.

Harry & Manu , 13 Dec 2018 I knew we were onto something when we first met the Benchmark team.  They knew exactly what we should look at as an investment.

Their knowledge is second to none and they worked through every step with you and explained it all as we went!

Steven , 13 Dec 2018 I have dealt with Benchmark before when buying a salon so it was a no brainer that I should get them to sell my salon too! They dealt with everything efficiently and they practically sold the salon on the first week to one of their investors! Benchmark really proved that they are the “go to” company when it comes to selling salons – Thanks for the fast results! It seemed smooth sailing and I got a great result – all because they really know their market! I would have no hesitation in recommending Benchmark.
