Mathew was on call 24/7 to answer any questions we had relating to the purchase. He has a wealth of experience in retail and let me know what we should be looking at, gave us other general industry figures to compare and made sure we ticked all the compliance boxes to get the purchase over the line. I would recommend Mathew and the team to anybody looking to sell or buy a business." - Shane Catania | 3 Sep 2021 Mathew Hartley receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.

Gino , 05 Feb 2020 Bought the salon through Nikki a year or so ago and decided that I would go back to my old career, so contacted Nikki for her help in selling it. She helped with all the negotiations with the buyer and made the whole thing go smoothly. She sold the salon in a matter of weeks! Benchmark Salon Sales

Eddie Griffith , 12 Aug 2020 Two years ago I reached the stage where I felt that I should look to sell the business and started meeting with business brokers who advertised in the newspaper’s classified and on Google. Information Memorandum showing what the business had done in the past, the future potential and the asset/liability position. Things were looking promising. We discussed a marketing plan along with information memos showing what the business had done in the past the future potential and the normal assets and liabilities. Things looked good. Ian is extremely adept at strategically managing the negotiations, assessing the genuineness of prospective buyers and then closing the best deal for his client. Ian’s approach was professional and he maintains strict confidentiality throughout. Ian understood the opportunity and potential for my business and then presented this to prospective buyers in the best light. Ian Haggerty receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.

Seller , 29 Sep 2020 Nikki  managed to negotiate with both the buyer and Head office to get the deal to work for everyone. She systematically worked through each and every detail and kept all parties informed of all the steps along the way. I am chuffed to bits with the results of working with “Australia’s No1 Business Broker” nationally and I now I know why? Amazing service and amazing girl! I am looking forward to that beer with Nikki that we talked about and I will thank her personally then but for now, I am happy to recommend Nikki and Benchmark Salon Sales and the fabulous work that they do.

Keith Marshall , 08 Apr 2019 I would definitely recommend Clyde and the Benchmark Salon Sales team for buying a hair and beauty salon I initially tried to purchase another salon through Clyde but the seller pulled out of the deal and removed the business from the market. We were immediately introduced to another business which was even better suited to us. Clyde has been excellent throughout the entire process, even when I had to go overseas on business for 6 weeks during the contract period. I would definitely recommend Clyde and the Benchmark Salon Sales team for buying a hair and beauty salon.

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.

Maria Chadwick , 13 Dec 2018 I used another broker before Benchmark and they did nothing. John and Iain jumped straight on board and worked their magic!! The business was only listed for 2 days before they had a buyer interested and committed. The process was interesting especially as I was overseas but we managed to get through it successfully. I’m happy as I haven’t had to say goodbye to the business I’ve been able to stay on and work part time for the new owner a great result for all parties

"We received a post card in the mail and I was initially skeptical of this as it said that John had someone wanting to buy my business, however I gave John a call and he appraised the business and he said his buyer was keen. Within two days we had done an inspection and I received an offer. At the start I wanted to be in control but quickly discovered that I needed to leave it to the expert. John was a master at getting the job done and managing the process until the very end. I am extremely happy, I got a fantastic price, smooth quick sale and I got to stay on as a hairdresser with the new owner. It was truly the result that I didn’t even contemplate was possible until I spoke with John. I was quite emotional about selling my pride and joy but John held my hand through the entire process and I highly recommend selling through Benchmark." - Larissa Thripp | 05 Feb 2020 John Kasapi receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.
