Australia’s Business Brokers

Boyan Ristovski , 18 Mar 2019 Thank you very much for all you support during the process. We could not have asked for a better broker or a more patient person to deal with during the long 6 month process it took to get to settlement but we are extremely happy with the outcome.  You were always available for us and we appreciate that. Thank you to you and your company for seeing this trough to the end.

Mary Kobovos , 13 Dec 2018 I have been looking to purchase a salon for number of years and after speaking with Benchmark they showed me the exact salon that suited my requirements. I am now absolutely delighted with my business and look forward in making it a success

Rebekah Pike , 08 Apr 2019 I was getting a bit worried about Benchmark not being able to deliver a sale for me. My lease was nearly up and I needed to get out ASAP without walking away from the business I had built up. They finally pulled a rabbit out of their hat and found a buyer that took over the business just before the end of lease and he helped them get a brand new lease and approval from the landlord. I was in New Zealand for the entire process and they went above and beyond by becoming our chauffeur and picked us up from the airport and drove us to the salon on the day of settlement to finalise the sale. A great result in the end!

Samantha , 13 Dec 2018 I bought my salon from Nikki so it was only natural that I contacted Nikki when selling! I was on the market about a week when found the purchaser then worked with hard helping her get her finances in order and also negotiated the lease with the management agent. She took control and other than paperwork that I had to prepare, Nikki took care of everything. She also put me in touch with a great solicitor too! Nikki is now arranging the next purchase for me!

“Wow wow wow they truly are the best in the business. Benchmark delivered record sales on two of my best stores and were an absolute delight to deal with. My sale was a seamless and I can definitely see why they are the best in the country. When it's time to sell my chain there I will be calling Benchmark. They had the buyer straight away and we put two of my sites to contract and managed the entire process which involved lease negotiable, name agreement, product distribution contracts and so much more. Benchmark are full service brokers and go above and beyond. Yes I'm impressed!” - Chernae Noonan - Seller | 25 Jun 2019 John Kasapi 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
