Australia’s Business Brokers

Kate Mcdonald , 01 Apr 2018 I recently returned from living overseas and I knew I wanted to jump straight into running my own business. I came across an advertisement on the benchmark website and the broker so easy to talk to. He showed me a number of salons and when I finally made the decision to buy and I stepped into the business I knew It was meant to be!! We had a quite few issues to overcome but when the going got tough Benchmark was always at the end of the phone helping the process along and answering all my questions, this is the start of my business empire!!! Thanks Benchmark.

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! Thank you John! - Ashlea | 17August 22. John Kasapi receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review. John Kasapi specialises in the sale of hair and beauty salons across all states in Australia.

Caitlin , 13 Dec 2018 I contacted Nikki as I was looking for a second salon and enquired about one she has advertised. She discussed it with me and answered all my questions then set me up with a viewing and I knew immediately this was the “one”. Nikki helped me with all aspects of the purchase and last week I started work at my new salon. Thank you Nikki – you kept in touch throughout and today everything is sorted. I appreciate everything you did to get me my new salon

John O – Seller , 25 Jun 2019 “Sylvia has been totally professional, knowledgeable and there at every twist and turn. We had a number of problems along the way and each time Sylvia kept the sale on track and took action to get the deal done. At times our emotions got the better of us but Sylvia made us feel that we were in safe hands. Sylvia, actually found a buyer quickly for our Salon and we settled within 4 months, the purchaser is the perfect fit for my Skin Clinic, allowing me to walk away with confidence and knowing my clients will be in good hands. I strongly recommend Benchmark Salon Sales.

Hess. Maria & Vicki , 30 Jun 2020 Working with Nikki could not have been easier. She promised me she would find a buyer for the salon and she delivered! Within a short timeframe, she found a Cash purchaser, delivered an agreeable offer, put it to contract and within 3 weeks, we are SOLD! She took care of everything from landlord approval, lease negotiation and handover. She was efficient and organised plus her style of dealing with all situations matched ours perfectly, so it was seamless and never felt stressful. We were in very capable hands with an expert in her field. We got on famously together as we hit our stride working together. Excellent service Nikki, thank you and we are delighted to provide this glowing testimonial for your next client to understand what you can do for them too
