Australia’s Business Brokers

"I had meet with a few other brokers previously & was loosing confidents about listing my business that I had worked so hard in building over the past 17 years as they didn’t seem to understand its value to me, Keith however was on the same page from our meeting on day one & stayed on the pulse even during these unprecedented times,. His clear communication throughout the listing/sale was comforting knowing id made the right decision to list with him & the overall process seemed to flow nicely, i’d highly recommend trusting Keith with the sale of your business." - Joel Lane | December 2020 Keith Brewster receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.

Harry & Manu , 13 Dec 2018 I knew we were onto something when we first met the Benchmark team.  They knew exactly what we should look at as an investment. They showed us a couple of salons but highlighted the one that they thought would best suit our needs and they are now helping me find the next one! Their knowledge is second to none and they worked through every step with you and explained it all as we went! I know that Benchmark will help us further with building our brand and adding to our portfolio. Thanks Benchmark  Benchmark Salon Sales

Caitlin , 13 Dec 2018 I contacted Nikki as I was looking for a second salon and enquired about one she has advertised. She discussed it with me and answered all my questions then set me up with a viewing and I knew immediately this was the “one”. Nikki helped me with all aspects of the purchase and last week I started work at my new salon. Thank you Nikki – you kept in touch throughout and today everything is sorted. I appreciate everything you did to get me my new salon

Seller , 29 Sep 2020 She was the obvious choice when I decided to sell due to family commitments and she stepped up straight away. She had a lot of the paperwork still on file and quickly moved to finding a buyer. The buyer made an offer and I accepted – then Covid-19 hit! Due to the uncertainty the buyer pulled out. Nikki advised that she would return her deposit but would speak to her when everything calmed down. Nikki re-engaged the buyer, the buyer agreed to proceed and Nikki reinstated the contract.  The outcome was that my salon sold yesterday and I am delighted. Nikki did an excellent job at keeping the buyer updated and she assessed the timing perfectly to resurrect the deal AND got me a great result too! If I had another broker working on this (with less skill and experience), I am not sure the outcome would have been the same. Delighted!

I really can’t thank John enough for his determination in seeing this through over a most difficult time that I’ve ever seen in 45years of hairdressing. 35 of those years in business and selling in this climate has been challenging. Well…. You certainly showed us all, that “Determination” is your middle name! After having 2 other brokers attempting this feat and not being successful I was ready to give up. Then I spoke to John and he brought back all my faith in being able to sell my business and go into retirement. Thank you again. You certainly are the broker I would recommend to any of my friends that are ready to sell and move into a new face in life.  -Tatjana Vaupel | May 2022 John Kasapi receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.

Tracey Bond , 18 Mar 2019 “I was so pleased when I followed a recommended from a colleague to utilise Benchmark for the sale of my salon.
