Australia’s Business Brokers

Eki/Melissa , 13 Dec 2018 Thanks Benchmark for your persistence in delivering the sale and getting us price we wanted. Great effort and job well done.

Steven , 13 Dec 2018 I have dealt with Benchmark before when buying a salon so it was a no brainer that I should get them to sell my salon too! They dealt with everything efficiently and they practically sold the salon on the first week to one of their investors! Benchmark really proved that they are the “go to” company when it comes to selling salons – Thanks for the fast results! It seemed smooth sailing and I got a great result – all because they really know their market! I would have no hesitation in recommending Benchmark.

"Well it was an eventful business sale, initially we had a contract on my business but the first buyer could not come up with the money a day before settlement which was a disaster however Iain and John assured me that they had another two buyers who would look at the business. I was very disappointed at this stage but Benchmark continued to dig deep and deliver another buyer who was able to settle on the business. I did find the whole process quite stressful however in the end Benchmark did deliver the sale and I'm now able to move on with the next chapter. Thanks for seeing the sale through to completion." - Marianne Zanca | 08 Apr 2019 John Kasapi receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.

I spoke to John a few years ago and when it was time to sell, I immediately reached out to him. We listed and sold in a very short period and he had the perfect buyer ready to go. As we approached settlement, the buyer communicated to me that they were in the process of purchasing another business with a different broker. The buyer was highly impressed and appreciative that our transaction transpired so quickly and seamlessly. This was down to John’s efficiency, management and expertise. John was outstanding and an absolute pleasure to work with. He achieved a phenomenal price, and an amazing result! John Kasapi receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.

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.

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!

Sarah Withers , 01 May 2018 Benchmark helped in finding our first hair salon. They have been instrumental, professional and easy to deal with. They made our life so easy and smooth from start to finish. Benchmark have been very supportive and honest from the start. They have such a proactive approach. We would definitely recommend them and for any business purchase or sale process.
