Jacob Rudge, May 2021 - I cannot recommend Mark highly enough, his knowledge of business and his inherent integrity shone through in every aspect of our dealings with him and we will certainly continue the relationship in years to come. We first contacted Mark when we decided to spread our wings and join the ranks of Australia's VET infrastructure. Mark anticipated our needs and requirements and placed us with a Vendor uniquely suited to our needs and brokered the deal expertly. There was never a moment of uncertainty and Mark and the team at Benchmark guided us through every step of the purchase with ease and ensured all parties were satisfied in a timely manner and everyone walked away from the deal happy. Kudos Mark and the team at Benchmark Business Sales and Valuations. Mark Crapper receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.

Caitlin , 13 Dec 2018 I contacted Nikki as I was looking for a second salon and enquired about one she has advertised.

Steve and Robyn Aird, 20 Jan 2020 - We appointed Glenn Irving of Benchmark Business Sales and Valuations as our broker. We could not have been happier with the result we achieved in the sake of our hardware business. Selling a business is tricky and the regular meetings that were conducted during the contract process kept our sale on track all the way through to the final settlement. We were so happy that we then asked him to sell our commercial property. Glenn Irving and his team brought me a buyer within 2 weeks. Great job and we could not recommend Glenn and his team strongly enough. Glenn Irving receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.
