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! Thank you Mick! -Katie Elliott | May 2022 Mick Godwin receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.

Bernice , 30 Jun 2020 OMG, what a ride! In the middle of Covid-19, Nikki achieved a sale which at times, with lockdown, we thought was never going to happen. It just goes to show. Persistence can prevail even in the trickiest of markets and market was exceptional. Most brokers would have given up. Nikki, your job was to bring me a buyer. Despite the challenges of me being a first-time seller, and the market being mid-covid-19! You did it…...I believe a match made in heaven. I am excited to sell and he is excited to buy! The buyer is exceptional, it truly is a good match. I am confident that I have sold the salon in good faith, that my staff will be looked after and the salon will thrive, under the new ownership. That it will continue to flourish was so important to me. Thank you Nikki

Sam from Benchmark assisted in the selling of our business of 35 years. In what could have been a stressful and emotional period. Sam's calm demeanor and unwavering support was invaluable. He was always accessible and eager to answer any of our concerns. The result was the sale of our business. A job well done!  - Sandra Glynn

Kate Mcdonald , 01 Apr 2018 I recently returned from living overseas and I knew I wanted to jump straight into running my own business. I came across an advertisement on the benchmark website and the broker so easy to talk to. He showed me a number of salons and when I finally made the decision to buy and I stepped into the business I knew It was meant to be!! We had a quite few issues to overcome but when the going got tough Benchmark was always at the end of the phone helping the process along and answering all my questions, this is the start of my business empire!!! Thanks Benchmark.
