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.

"We have worked with Ian Haggerty in the sale of Greenwheat Freekeh Pty Ltd. From the outset Ian exhibited genuine professionalism, patience, integrity and knowledge associated with all aspects relating to a sale of a complex business.  He was always proactive and resilient. It is my view that Ian represents a great value when engaging a broker to sell a business. He is excellent in negotiations and presentations and have the competence to attract the right buyers from the appropriate industry.  On a personal level Ian has a great sense of humour and easy to work with.  All of which help in making a stressful time easier. We wish Ian Haggerty and Benchmark all the best for the future." - Tony Lutfi | 23 Sep 2021 Ian Haggerty receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.

Bernice , 30 Jun 2020 OMG, what a ride! In the middle of Covid-19, Nikki achieved a sale which at times, with lockdown, we thought was never going to happen. It just goes to show. Persistence can prevail even in the trickiest of markets and market was exceptional. Most brokers would have given up. Nikki, your job was to bring me a buyer. Despite the challenges of me being a first-time seller, and the market being mid-covid-19! You did it…...I believe a match made in heaven. I am excited to sell and he is excited to buy! The buyer is exceptional, it truly is a good match. I am confident that I have sold the salon in good faith, that my staff will be looked after and the salon will thrive, under the new ownership. That it will continue to flourish was so important to me. Thank you Nikki

Maria , 06 Feb 2020 Clyde thank you for your amazing work! If I didn’t have a heart attack yesterday I never will!! This was absolutely such hard work for you and I really appreciate it. Merry Christmas and best luck for the future.

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.

“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” - Maria Chadwick | 18 Mar 2019 John Kasapi receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.

Gino , 05 Feb 2020 Bought the salon through Nikki a year or so ago and decided that I would go back to my old career, so contacted Nikki for her help in selling it. She helped with all the negotiations with the buyer and made the whole thing go smoothly. She sold the salon in a matter of weeks! Benchmark Salon Sales
