Australia’s Business Brokers

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.

My husband and I recently sold our Business through Ian Salter at Benchmark. From the start to finish Ian was always available and guiding us through the process ensuring we had everything in place for a potential buyer at the beginning and then guiding us through the sale he always kept us up to date with the progress of the sale whether it be a phone call a text or an email. His professionalism was outstanding and knowledge of the whole process was extremely helpful to have Ian's guidance in the process to the day of settlement. I can't recommend Ian's services highly enough. Thank you Ian and will definitely use your services again in the near future. -Donna Carroll | June 2022  Ian Salter receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.

Samantha Jones , 01 Jan 2018 I’m probably one of the happiest seller you will find! Benchmark was fanatical at managing the sale and guiding the entire process. I got the price I wanted and a quick sale. Thanks for all your efforts

“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. Thanks again.” - Sash Alexander Culakovski, Seller |  25 Jun 2019 John Kasapi receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.

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

Buyer , 25 Jun 2019 “I spoke about a year ago enquiring about a hair salon in the western Suburbs. We discussed location and she told me I had just missed a couple of salons in the area now under contract. I told her what I was looking for and she promised to call me if she had the “right fit’ of salon for me. About 2 month ago, she called me and invited me to look at something. She provided all the information quickly and we made an offer. Today, I am now the proud owner of a stunning new salon and I am so delighted that Nikki and I spoke as it is just perfect for what we were looking for. Nikki, I appreciate you keeping me in your mind and matching us to the right salon. I hope to work with you again in the future”
