Australia’s Business Brokers

Nicole , 13 Dec 2018 WOW– what a journey! I contacted Nikki 18 months ago when I was pregnant with my second child and she helped me find a buyer for my salon. I decided that I could cope and was reluctant to sell so I changed my mind! Nikki advised me that 2 kids (talking from her own experience) was a lot to handle but understood my decision. After the birth of my son, I realized that I just wanted to spend time with my young family and so my first call was to Nikki. She brought a couple of buyers through and we found the “right fit’ when Amy came along. I knew my clients would love her. Today, Amy bought my salon and I can now relax & enjoy bring my time with my beautiful children. Better still, Nikki negotiated that I still work in the salon one day a week but with flexibility! Thanks Nikki for the perfect result. I am delighted with the outcome

I spoke to John a few years ago and when it was time to sell, I immediately reached out to him. We listed and sold in a very short period and he had the perfect buyer ready to go. As we approached settlement, the buyer communicated to me that they were in the process of purchasing another business with a different broker. The buyer was highly impressed and appreciative that our transaction transpired so quickly and seamlessly. This was down to John’s efficiency, management and expertise. John was outstanding and an absolute pleasure to work with. He achieved a phenomenal price, and an amazing result! 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.

Shane Ayre , 13 Dec 2018 I would just like to say a very big thank you to you personally and to Benchmark for handling the recent and very successful acquisition of Akwa Worx & Akwa Facility Maintenance Pty Ltd to ASX listed De.Mem Ltd.

Peter , 19 May 2020 I engage the services of Nikki to help me find a hairdresser to buy my salon. Nikki found a great candidate and worked with her, the management agent and landlord to reach an amicable agreement for the lease. I am happy to say that this is the second time I have dealt with Nikki and she has delivered a quality service each time. Good luck Nikki with your next deal and all the best.

Sam , 06 Feb 2020 Thank you, Nikki, for everything you have done in finding my salon for me. It only goes to show you how good you are when I am already on the phone looking for my next salon to buy and came straight to you. You have sent me some further salons and taking your advice as always. Yes, I look forward to our next deal.

I really can’t thank John enough for his determination in seeing this through over a most difficult time that I’ve ever seen in 45years of hairdressing. 35 of those years in business and selling in this climate has been challenging. Well…. You certainly showed us all, that “Determination” is your middle name! After having 2 other brokers attempting this feat and not being successful I was ready to give up. Then I spoke to John and he brought back all my faith in being able to sell my business and go into retirement. Thank you again. You certainly are the broker I would recommend to any of my friends that are ready to sell and move into a new face in life.  -Tatjana Vaupel | May 2022 John Kasapi 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!!!
