Australia’s Business Brokers

As an experienced buyer and seller of businesses I have dealt with many business brokers. It is with that background that I can confidently say that the service provided by Ian Salter is second to none. Ian’s attention to detail and genuine care to get the best result for all is unquestionable. This was particularly evidenced when an issue with the business purchase remained unresolved many weeks after settlement, Ian continuously pursued all parties until the matter was resolved. I would have no hesitation recommending Ian Salter to anyone looking to buy or sell a business. ” Regards, S. Sneddon Ian Salter receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.

"We have built a solid business relationship with John and Benchmark over the last few years and have complete confidence in him as a broker. We regard our company as one of the best in the business and we wouldn’t consider using any other broker other than John, he holds the same values as us towards our business and it’s as if he is part of our company, he always has our best interests at the forefront. During this transaction John sold one of our flagship stores and from the very beginning John was impressively professional which allowed us the time to continue running the other 200 stores we have. John’s number one attribute is his determination to get the result that is best for all parties, his knowledge of the industry is second to none and I wish I had his contact list!!! He has endless qualified buyers and that’s all we needed to know, that if one buyer doesn’t work out he has another person waiting in the wings. Great work John thanks once again." - Tony Lattouf, Joseph Lattouf, Emad Nayef and Romina Fiore | 01 Feb 2018 John Kasapi receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.

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.

I don't even know where to start. Had my salon listed with someone else but didn't get any results. Found John Kasapi who delivered a few buyers straight away. Then the games began with our landlord. He was a nightmare. There were rent increases, yearly term changes, option problem, wrong names on documents, no one returning our calls, terrible lawyers involved. However, one phenomenal business broker pulled it all together and somehow got the sale to settlement. Amazing job John. I would highly recommend John to anyone selling a Salon and already have!

Mark , 01 Feb 2018 I contacted Nikki after finding her as the agent for many salons in Sydney. She found me a great salon that suited my needs. Nikki and I worked together from there as she broke down the information about the salon of interest. She assisted with all aspects of the purchase, despite me sometimes being overseas and in hard to reach areas. She facilitated all the negotiations with landlords and vendor on my behalf and also recommended a solicitor that she works with to help with the contract. Great salon- great job Nikki. Thanks for all your help

Mark provided excellent support, guidance and information for my client in the purchase of an RTO. He follows up when he says he will and is professional, courteous, and practical. His efforts to steer the sale from enquiry to completion went at times beyond his brief in an effort to provide solutions to any issues that were raised. I have operated as an VET and RTO compliance consultant for more than 20 years and am pleased to recommend Mark if you are looking for excellent customer service, integrity and RTO industry knowledge and experience. I look forward to an opportunity to work with Mark again. - Jex McNamara | July 22. Mark Crapper receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.
