"We received a post card in the mail and I was initially skeptical of this as it said that John had someone wanting to buy my business, however I gave John a call and he appraised the business and he said his buyer was keen. Within two days we had done an inspection and I received an offer. At the start I wanted to be in control but quickly discovered that I needed to leave it to the expert. John was a master at getting the job done and managing the process until the very end. I am extremely happy, I got a fantastic price, smooth quick sale and I got to stay on as a hairdresser with the new owner. It was truly the result that I didn’t even contemplate was possible until I spoke with John. I was quite emotional about selling my pride and joy but John held my hand through the entire process and I highly recommend selling through Benchmark." - Larissa Thripp | 05 Feb 2020 John Kasapi receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.

Eddie Griffith , 12 Aug 2020 Two years ago I reached the stage where I felt that I should look to sell the business and started meeting with business brokers who advertised in the newspaper’s classified and on Google. Information Memorandum showing what the business had done in the past, the future potential and the asset/liability position.

Lynn , 13 Dec 2018 Amazing job Benchmark – we can now happily move on with our new-found retirement. After some ill health and moving away, I found it ever more difficult to run the salon and that’s when Benchmark stepped in to help! They set up a viewing and called a number of their buyers and negotiated everything from start to finish. Great achievement and great result. I am grateful for your help and appreciate everything you have done for me and now I can relax and let me salon go to a great new owner

Melinda Luchini , 18 Mar 2019 “Benchmarks brokers experience is famous throughout the industry. We knew they specialized in salon and clinic sales, so when we were ready to sell we knew whom to contact. When we listed the salon on the market we let the broker know that we had only a few months to get it sold. They delivered a buyer and a contract almost instantly and sold it record time. The biggest concern I had was the landlord being overseas and having a strict approval process. However Benchmark managed to get the buyer approved and finalize the lease within the time frame, I now get more time with my young family. Thanks again”
