Australia’s Business Brokers

Jacob Rudge, May 2021 - I cannot recommend Mark highly enough, his knowledge of business and his inherent integrity shone through in every aspect of our dealings with him and we will certainly continue the relationship in years to come. We first contacted Mark when we decided to spread our wings and join the ranks of Australia's VET infrastructure. Mark anticipated our needs and requirements and placed us with a Vendor uniquely suited to our needs and brokered the deal expertly. There was never a moment of uncertainty and Mark and the team at Benchmark guided us through every step of the purchase with ease and ensured all parties were satisfied in a timely manner and everyone walked away from the deal happy. Kudos Mark and the team at Benchmark Business Sales and Valuations. Mark Crapper receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review. Mark’s achievements in business ownership, business development and consulting are impressive, to say the least.  His drive has always been the pursuit of betterment and growth, for himself and for others.  “Working with business owners and helping them achieve their goals are incredibly satisfying,” he insists. Though initially qualifying as an electrician, Mark’s instincts took him straight into small business ownership.  Starting as a partner in one of the earliest Donut King stores in Australia, he went on to spend 20 years developing a home-grown Australian brand into the largest and most successful food franchise brand in its category in Australia.

"I went to see Keith Brewster at Benchmark in July when the turnover for our business, which deals mostly with overseas clients, had dropped by around 80%. Nine months prior to that we had signed a three year lease, so our situation was not good. As well as the lease payments, we also had the ongoing cost of maintaining the small amount business that was left. Keith gave me some hope that we may be able to dispose of the business, & set about on a very professional & comprehensive marketing programme with other Benchmark staff. This achieved quite a few enquiries. Keith kept in very regular contact with me at all times, & after any enquiry or inspection he gave me full feedback. When he found the buyer, Keith did a magnificent job liaising with buyer, seller, & lawyers. This was a difficult business to sell, & I congratulate Keith & the team at Benchmark on their success. This result has taken a large weight from my mind, thank you. I would strongly recommend Keith & Benchmark if you have a business to sell." - Kevin Meagher | December 2020 Keith Brewster receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.
