Australia’s Business Brokers

"We initially received a postcard in the mail and at first we were apprehensive about whether Benchmark had a buyer for our business. However, we called John and he actually had a buyer quickly for my business and we went to contract immediately. This has been a emotional roller coaster and that's why I'm writing this testimonial, as I want to let other potential sellers know it is extremely important to have the right broker on your side. John is the best around. He is my super hero. If you are concerned about paying fees ... trust me he is worth every cent." - Chloe Shipilov | 06 Feb 2020 John Kasapi receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.

Zoe , 01 Feb 2018 I had contacted Benchmark just before my lease ran out and I was planning to close the salon as I wanted to concentrate on my young family. The purchaser ended up being a customer of the salon and our broker helped get her through leasing, finance etc etc by explaining to her what was involved. The result was excellent as I have now sold my salon to a great girl and I have come out with some money to allow me to relax and enjoy my time off with my baby. Best result that could have happened. Thanks Benchmark for helping me thorough it.

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.

Leeann , 30 Jun 2020 I first met Nikki when I started looking for a business to buy and she has taken care of me ever since! She has mentored me, educated me, and supported me throughout. She helped me pick the right salons to suit my lifestyle and has worked with me to develop my strategy. She achieved this because she took time to get to know me, my time limitations, and my skills & capabilities. They she found me the right fit! She has even recommended solicitors, products & staff to work with. She is really is a one stop shop of help, guidance and support and I could not have bought my 2 amazing salons without her! Nikki – you really are No1 Broker in the country and I am proud to say Angie & I now consider you a friend, thanks for being on this journey with us!

Lisa Oakes , 08 Apr 2019 I got a phone call out of the blue from Clyde who said that he had a buyer and really wanted me to list my salon so that he could introduce them to my salon, it was all quite random but the timing was perfect because I was scheduled to have surgery early in the new year and would be out of action for months after the surgery. I was a little dubious that there really was a buyer, but I actually received an offer the day after I signed the agreement! Things definitely weren’t all smooth sailing though. The contract period went over the Christmas break and then the buyer had to go overseas for 6 weeks and all the accountants and solicitors were also on holidays! I thought the sale was off however Clyde was very calm and reassured me that the sale would proceed when the buyer was back from overseas, which it did. Now I can focus on my recovery without the stress of running the business, awesome job!

"We listed our business with John as we felt so comfortable with him and our gut instinct was correct. He has been totally professional, knowledgeable and there at every twist and turn, we had a number of problems along the way and each time John kept the sale on track and took action to get the deal done. At times our emotions got the better of us but John made us feel that we were in safe hands and steered captained the ship to the final destination." - Anna Stewart | 01 Apr 2018 John Kasapi receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.

"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 truly got the best service When I decided to sell I initially approached John however I decide to go with another broker but they never delivered. Fast forward another 4 years from that day and I went back to John who finally got my business sold. Benchmark are expensive but I truly got the best service and thanks to the Benchmark salon team for their diligent management of the process.
