Australia’s Business Brokers

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!

Marigold Lukin , 13 Dec 2018 Everything has fallen into place, I’m a very proud owner of my own salon. I’ve been wanting to own my own salon for some time but never clicked with anything. Then Benchmark contacted me about an opportunity and I grabbed it with both hands and I’m glad I did. Thanks for all your help and guidance

Lincoln's professionalism and experience is very apparent and he secured an excellent and qualified buyer. The buyer’s process was a little unusual and a bit daunting, however Lincoln displayed commitment, understanding, and readily assisted me with lease negotiations with the existing tenant to ensure that I achieved the best sale price. With his guidance and support, the whole process was made simple and stress free. I just want to say how much I appreciate your hard work and effort, Lincoln.

I don't even know where to start. Had my salon listed with someone else but didn't get any results. Found John Kasapi who delivered a few buyers straight away. Then the games began with our landlord. He was a nightmare. There were rent increases, yearly term changes, option problem, wrong names on documents, no one returning our calls, terrible lawyers involved. However, one phenomenal business broker pulled it all together and somehow got the sale to settlement. Amazing job John. I would highly recommend John to anyone selling a Salon and already have!

“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.

Tom Calderwood , 10 Oct 2019 Thank you Troy Foran for the determination and professionalism with the regards to the sale of my business  The whole process was daunting to me in the beginning and I was not confident that I would get the outcome I wanted. Appointing you as my broker was certainly the right decision. You kept me apprised of any developments and updates and was always very flexible time wise in meeting with potential buyers and myself. You never intentionally got my hopes up ("There are no guarantees until the money's in the bank" you would say). As it turned out there were complications with a purchaser who signed an agreement however never honored it. You immediately went straight back to work and revamped the ad for our business and generated a tonne of new interest which resulted in a new purchaser within only a few months. Thank you for your professional service and I would certainly recommend Benchmark to anyone intending to sell their business.

Sam , 06 Feb 2020 Thank you, Nikki, for everything you have done in finding my salon for me. It only goes to show you how good you are when I am already on the phone looking for my next salon to buy and came straight to you. You have sent me some further salons and taking your advice as always. Yes, I look forward to our next deal.

"Thank you John. I have now sold down my chain of salons over the last 10 years. It was a very emotional experience for my partner and I to do so therefore. We put all our trust and faith in John to get the job done and I must say it was an amazing whirl wind event.  With extensive due diligence, finance difficulties and 2 shopping centre leases to get through we were constantly worried that we would never see the end. But with john's expertise we finally reached settlement after he helped the buyer to successfully jumping over these hurdles. I strongly recommend that you have John in the middle of any business transaction he is a real problem solver and miracle worker." - Matt Glyn | 06 Feb 2020 John Kasapi receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.
