Australia’s Business Brokers

Shane Ayre , 13 Dec 2018 I would just like to say a very big thank you to you personally and to Benchmark for handling the recent and very successful acquisition of Akwa Worx & Akwa Facility Maintenance Pty Ltd to ASX listed De.Mem Ltd. The whole process was very quick and efficient and the drive from you with my instructions to do was done in a very professional manner. Once again thank you and I would have no concerns giving recommendation to any of my colleges should they wish to go forth with a sale. Ian Haggerty receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.

Megan Graham , 01 May 2018 There are so many brokers out there and I’ve dealt with many!!! All I need to say is that Benchmark really are the kings of salons and I felt so comfortable and at easy with them, they always kept me up to date with the whole process and went through all the steps with me. I love my new salon and can’t wait to add to my brand and finishing touches, thanks Benchmark for your knowledge and never ending support.

Steve and Robyn Aird, 20 Jan 2020 - We appointed Glenn Irving of Benchmark Business Sales and Valuations as our broker. We could not have been happier with the result we achieved in the sake of our hardware business. Selling a business is tricky and the regular meetings that were conducted during the contract process kept our sale on track all the way through to the final settlement. We were so happy that we then asked him to sell our commercial property. Glenn Irving and his team brought me a buyer within 2 weeks. Great job and we could not recommend Glenn and his team strongly enough. Glenn Irving receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.

"It’s amazing that Ashmore Carpets was sold the first time around over 20 years ago. Bruce did a great job then and we knew he was the person to contact when we decided to sell again. Once we listed the business with Benchmark and met Keith, we knew it was only a matter of time until he found the right buyers. From the beginning, we were very impressed with Keith’s professionalism and attention to detail. Nothing was too much trouble. His positive attitude and experience with dealing with obstacles that occurred, such as the buyers obtaining a new lease were second to none. He was always contactable and always followed up every step of the sale process. If anyone is considering selling their business, large or small, we would thoroughly recommend Keith and the team at Benchmark Business. Thank you again Keith. It was a pleasure working with you and best wishes for the future."  - Alan and Donna Weatherall | July 2021 Keith Brewster 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
