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.

Steve and Robyn Aird, 20 Jan 2020 - We appointed Glenn Irving of Benchmark Business Sales and Valuations as our broker. We could not have been happier with the result we achieved in the sake of our hardware business. Selling a business is tricky and the regular meetings that were conducted during the contract process kept our sale on track all the way through to the final settlement. We were so happy that we then asked him to sell our commercial property. Glenn Irving and his team brought me a buyer within 2 weeks. Great job and we could not recommend Glenn and his team strongly enough. Glenn Irving receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.

Zoe , 01 Feb 2018 I had contacted Benchmark just before my lease ran out and I was planning to close the salon as I wanted to concentrate on my young family. The purchaser ended up being a customer of the salon and our broker helped get her through leasing, finance etc etc by explaining to her what was involved. The result was excellent as I have now sold my salon to a great girl and I have come out with some money to allow me to relax and enjoy my time off with my baby. Best result that could have happened. Thanks Benchmark for helping me thorough it.

“Wow wow wow they truly are the best in the business. Benchmark delivered record sales on two of my best stores and were an absolute delight to deal with. My sale was a seamless and I can definitely see why they are the best in the country. When it's time to sell my chain there I will be calling Benchmark. They had the buyer straight away and we put two of my sites to contract and managed the entire process which involved lease negotiable, name agreement, product distribution contracts and so much more. Benchmark are full service brokers and go above and beyond. Yes I'm impressed!” - Chernae Noonan - Seller | 25 Jun 2019 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!

"Phenomenal is the word that I would use to describe John Kasapi from Benchmark Business Sales & Valuations, l originally had my day spa listed with another agent for many months with absolutely no results. I was then lucky enough to be recommended to John, in our initial conversation I had one requirement and that was for my business to be sold ASAP and gave him a deadline to get the job done within the next 4 weeks. John used his extensive industry contact list to reach out and find a suitable buyer that ticked all the boxes. Within 3 weeks he amazingly finalised the business sale. It was absolutely remarkable and I believe one of the quickest sales on record. He found the buyer, he got full asking price, we went to contract and settled within 3 weeks. If there was ever a Superman of business brokering John is the man of steel. Great effort, highly recommend using John and don’t waste your time using anyone else. ” - Name Undisclosed | 13 Dec 2018 John Kasapi receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.

Mark provided excellent support, guidance and information for my client in the purchase of an RTO. He follows up when he says he will and is professional, courteous, and practical.
