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

Lisa Oakes , 08 Apr 2019 I got a phone call out of the blue from Clyde who said that he had a buyer and really wanted me to list my salon so that he could introduce them to my salon, it was all quite random but the timing was perfect because I was scheduled to have surgery early in the new year and would be out of action for months after the surgery. I was a little dubious that there really was a buyer, but I actually received an offer the day after I signed the agreement! Things definitely weren’t all smooth sailing though. The contract period went over the Christmas break and then the buyer had to go overseas for 6 weeks and all the accountants and solicitors were also on holidays! I thought the sale was off however Clyde was very calm and reassured me that the sale would proceed when the buyer was back from overseas, which it did. Now I can focus on my recovery without the stress of running the business, awesome job!

"It’s amazing that Ashmore Carpets was sold the first time around over 20 years ago. Bruce did a great job then and we knew he was the person to contact when we decided to sell again. Once we listed the business with Benchmark and met Keith, we knew it was only a matter of time until he found the right buyers. From the beginning, we were very impressed with Keith’s professionalism and attention to detail. Nothing was too much trouble. His positive attitude and experience with dealing with obstacles that occurred, such as the buyers obtaining a new lease were second to none. He was always contactable and always followed up every step of the sale process. If anyone is considering selling their business, large or small, we would thoroughly recommend Keith and the team at Benchmark Business. Thank you again Keith. It was a pleasure working with you and best wishes for the future."  - Alan and Donna Weatherall | July 2021 Keith Brewster receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.

Mark , 01 Feb 2018 I contacted Nikki after finding her as the agent for many salons in Sydney. She found me a great salon that suited my needs. Nikki and I worked together from there as she broke down the information about the salon of interest. She assisted with all aspects of the purchase, despite me sometimes being overseas and in hard to reach areas. She facilitated all the negotiations with landlords and vendor on my behalf and also recommended a solicitor that she works with to help with the contract. Great salon- great job Nikki. Thanks for all your help

Boyan Ristovski , 18 Mar 2019 Thank you very much for all you support during the process.

Thank you to you and your company for seeing this trough to the end.

"I went to see Keith Brewster at Benchmark in July when the turnover for our business, which deals mostly with overseas clients, had dropped by around 80%. Nine months prior to that we had signed a three year lease, so our situation was not good. As well as the lease payments, we also had the ongoing cost of maintaining the small amount business that was left. Keith gave me some hope that we may be able to dispose of the business, & set about on a very professional & comprehensive marketing programme with other Benchmark staff. This achieved quite a few enquiries. Keith kept in very regular contact with me at all times, & after any enquiry or inspection he gave me full feedback. When he found the buyer, Keith did a magnificent job liaising with buyer, seller, & lawyers. This was a difficult business to sell, & I congratulate Keith & the team at Benchmark on their success. This result has taken a large weight from my mind, thank you. I would strongly recommend Keith & Benchmark if you have a business to sell." - Kevin Meagher | December 2020 Keith Brewster receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.
