Australia’s Business Brokers

Absolutely 100 percent professionals. Thank you Benchmark for selling our business. I know it was a hard one to sell, being in a remote area and all, but your persistence with buyers paid off. Thank you Marc Sax and everyone involved in this process. We are retired now and taking care of each other. Would recommend (and have done), this service to anyone wanting to get the most $'s for their business 🙂 They don't bother you too much with empty words, just that "we have an interested buyer" and that's all I wanted to hear. Thank you. - Jane and Don | August 22.

Seller Sarah , 25 Jun 2019 “I contacted Nikki when I was pregnant with my first baby and asked her to help me sell my beautiful salon. She came highly recommended as my best friend’s mum also sold their salon through Nikki 6 months ago so I knew I was working with the right person. She took care of the whole sale process from start to finish and I sold my salon on the very day my baby was born! I cannot wait to start the next stages of my life and a massive thank you Nikki for taking care of everything and for minimising the stress of it all for me - allowing me to concentrate on my baby boy.

April , 01 Feb 2017 I heard about the salon being on the market and got in touch with Benchmark. From the start, they helped me get through the maze of purchasing a salon as I was new to the Industry. They took care of everything from landlord approval, form filling, business plan and finance and finally, I am in my very own salon. They even assisted me after settlement with some maintenance issues and so I cannot express enough how happy I am to have had Benchmark in my corner! Thanks
