Australia’s Business Brokers

"We were put in contact with Benchmark through a third party and had no pre conceived ideas of what to expect, and what the process of selling the business would involve. After meeting Brian i was immediately put at ease with the decision to sell and deal with Benchmark. The process was quite smooth (even though we were listed through the worst of the COVID period) and the sale went ahead quite quickly. Brian was a pleasure to deal with and would definitely recommend Benchmark to anybody choosing to sell their business. Thank you Very Much." Paul Leadbeater | Pool Care Pty Ltd.

Gino , 01 Jun 2018 I contacted Benchmark when I was looking for a business to run “under management” and they showed me one that had literally just come onto their books that morning that they thought would be perfect for me. Benchmark walked me through the numbers & provided comparisons too. They took time to educate me about the way to get the best from the salon. Benchmark introduced me to the current owner, who had similar skills & background, which put my mind at ease. I understand that my broker looked at the best businesses for me to run & matched that perfectly. Well Done Benchmark – you nailed the brief!

Antionette Thorpe , 08 Apr 2019 One of the most important things I wanted in selling my business was a good tenant as I owned the building. Benchmark delivered a fantastic buyer and even arranged for me to stay on as an employee which works really great for both parties. The business was sold quickly, smoothly and for a great price. I am so delighted with the result.

Peter Gimpel 09 Aug 2021 - When we decided to sell our family Electrical Contracting company, we contacted Benchmark Business Valuations and were very please to be given Mr Glenn Irving as our business sales broker.  Glenn was tireless in chasing down leads and eventually we were matched up with a first class buyer for our small business.  Glenn was meticulous in hosting pre settlement meetings in the board room in house and also was able to recommend an excellent small business lawyer to complete all the necessary transactions for the completion of the sale.  The settlement of the sale of the business was guided to an excellent conclusion by Glenn and his team. We have no hesitation in recommending Glenn and his team to anyone wanting to buy or sell a small business. Glenn Irving receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.

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

"I'm delighted with this fantastic result. John Kasapi found the absolute best buyer to purchase my business And it seems that the same buyer will now buy my building. I had my business for many many years and really wanted someone to take it over that would care for the clients as well as I did and deliver a professional haircutting services so to achieve this is unreal. I was recommended to John form Pavlos the founder of Biba and at first I didn’t know whether John could get the job done for me however he pulled out a rabbit from his magical hat and delivered.  Thanks again." - Sash Alexander Culakovski | 01 Jun 2019

Keith communicated with us and kept us up to date with the sale the whole time.
