Australia’s Business Brokers

Hess. Maria & Vicki , 30 Jun 2020 Working with Nikki could not have been easier. She promised me she would find a buyer for the salon and she delivered! Within a short timeframe, she found a Cash purchaser, delivered an agreeable offer, put it to contract and within 3 weeks, we are SOLD! She took care of everything from landlord approval, lease negotiation and handover. She was efficient and organised plus her style of dealing with all situations matched ours perfectly, so it was seamless and never felt stressful. We were in very capable hands with an expert in her field. We got on famously together as we hit our stride working together. Excellent service Nikki, thank you and we are delighted to provide this glowing testimonial for your next client to understand what you can do for them too

"We received a post card in the mail and I was initially skeptical of this as it said that John had someone wanting to buy my business, however I gave John a call and he appraised the business and he said his buyer was keen. Within two days we had done an inspection and I received an offer. At the start I wanted to be in control but quickly discovered that I needed to leave it to the expert. John was a master at getting the job done and managing the process until the very end. I am extremely happy, I got a fantastic price, smooth quick sale and I got to stay on as a hairdresser with the new owner. It was truly the result that I didn’t even contemplate was possible until I spoke with John. I was quite emotional about selling my pride and joy but John held my hand through the entire process and I highly recommend selling through Benchmark." - Larissa Thripp | 05 Feb 2020 John Kasapi 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!
