Australia’s Business Brokers

"It’s amazing that Ashmore Carpets was sold the first time around over 20 years ago. Bruce did a great job then and we knew he was the person to contact when we decided to sell again. Once we listed the business with Benchmark and met Keith, we knew it was only a matter of time until he found the right buyers. From the beginning, we were very impressed with Keith’s professionalism and attention to detail. Nothing was too much trouble. His positive attitude and experience with dealing with obstacles that occurred, such as the buyers obtaining a new lease were second to none. He was always contactable and always followed up every step of the sale process. If anyone is considering selling their business, large or small, we would thoroughly recommend Keith and the team at Benchmark Business. Thank you again Keith. It was a pleasure working with you and best wishes for the future."  - Alan and Donna Weatherall | July 2021 Keith Brewster receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.

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.
