Australia’s Business Brokers

My husband and I recently sold our Business through Ian Salter at Benchmark. From the start to finish Ian was always available and guiding us through the process ensuring we had everything in place for a potential buyer at the beginning and then guiding us through the sale he always kept us up to date with the progress of the sale whether it be a phone call a text or an email. His professionalism was outstanding and knowledge of the whole process was extremely helpful to have Ian's guidance in the process to the day of settlement. I can't recommend Ian's services highly enough. Thank you Ian and will definitely use your services again in the near future. -Donna Carroll | June 2022  Ian Salter receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.

Suzette Jones , 01 May 2018 Wow Wow Wow This process was a whole lot easy than I ever thought it would be – I listed and sold within a matter of weeks. I had heard so many horror stories but my sale was a breeze. I had been in my salon for over 25 years and it was my baby! To finally come to the decision to sell my salon was a very emotional period for me and even more of a struggle was to find someone that I could trust and understood my concerns and needs! I had to know that I was going to work with a broker who understood me and our industry and wasn’t just full of hot air and over promising and under delivers. I had done my research and couldn’t have been happier with my choice to use Benchmark, the process was seamless and before you knew it, it was SOLD!!! I was even overseas while the settlement happened, this just shows how hard Benchmark worked on getting the salon sold quickly and how well they managed the entire sale, and they really do have the contacts within the industry and get the job done. Wow Wow Wow!!!

"I recently sold my salon using Benchmark. Instantly I thought of John Kasapi from a few years ago when I was looking to buy a salon because he was the only broker who I ever felt comfortable with and admired his knowledge. This turned out to be a smart move as John was very experienced in this aspect of the business and he found me a buyer in a short space of time and the sale went through very smoothly and hassle free which enabled me to move on to my next chapter in life. I would strongly recommend using John from Benchmark when buying or selling salons." - Neela McGilton | 08 Apr 2019 John Kasapi receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.

"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.

"John Kasapi has delivered an exceptional price for our business in a tough challenging market. Not only did he deliver a sensational result. He was critical in managing the sales process and throughout. There was moments through the transition I thought this would never happen. Communication between the buyer and seller was excellent and while managing two very difficult lawyers on either side. if you are looking at selling a good business in Sydney, I would not look anywhere else, but John Kasapi from Benchmrk . Thank you very much look forward to having a beer with you." Peter Theochari. John Kasapi receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.

I can now see why John Kasapi is the best business broker in the country. He it truly outstanding at what he does and how he delivers amazing service. It is impressive to see how easily he made the sale go so smoothly. His pro-active approach was refreshing – not once did I have to ring him to find out what was happening with the process. He would even call me to touch base if he didn’t have an update – just to keep in touch! I’m also buying another salon business at the moment though a different business broker and I can see the difference between the two is so wide. I have dealt with a few different business brokers over the past few months, and some have actually lost their client a potential sale due to lack of communication. I still have not completed the other business purchase yet which was started 6 weeks before this one. I can understand that John really has the process down pat and just makes it so easy to move through the many steps that need to be completed. When I am ready to purchase another business in the next 6 months I will not hesitate to work with John again. Thanks John! 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!
