Australia’s Business Brokers

Keith Marshall , 08 Apr 2019 I would definitely recommend Clyde and the Benchmark Salon Sales team for buying a hair and beauty salon I initially tried to purchase another salon through Clyde but the seller pulled out of the deal and removed the business from the market. We were immediately introduced to another business which was even better suited to us. Clyde has been excellent throughout the entire process, even when I had to go overseas on business for 6 weeks during the contract period. I would definitely recommend Clyde and the Benchmark Salon Sales team for buying a hair and beauty salon.

Steven Peter , 18 Mar 2019 I first came across Benchmark when purchasing the Greville Clinic in October 2018, During the negotiations for this purchase my broker displayed consideration for both the vendor and the myself, always displaying attention to detail, efficiency and a solution-oriented mindset, making the process entirely seemless. Benchmark pursued all requests for more detailed information in a timely manner and kept me updated on the status of these requests. They were extremely supportive and considerate in all areas of the business purchase and it has been a pleasure to conduct business with you.

"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.
