Australia’s Business Brokers

Name Undisclosed , 13 Dec 2018 This is a very exciting time for us, as we have just purchased 6 new sites to add to our current portfolio and a new private product line! None of this could have been made possible if it wasn’t for Benchmark, as we had already purchased a site with them before we were on their radar.  They came to us with this opportunity and we knew it was a sound investment, yet again Benchmark stepped up each and every time when matters needed to be addressed. They assisted us with leasing and ensured that the lawyers stayed on track!! Which was a task in itself.  We look forward to working with Benchmark again in the future and would recommend anyone looking to expand their business.

We have been very fortunate to have IAN SALTER from BENCHMARK BUSINESS SALES & VALUATIONS handle the sale of our business.

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

Rebekah Pike , 08 Apr 2019 I was getting a bit worried about Benchmark not being able to deliver a sale for me. My lease was nearly up and I needed to get out ASAP without walking away from the business I had built up. They finally pulled a rabbit out of their hat and found a buyer that took over the business just before the end of lease and he helped them get a brand new lease and approval from the landlord. I was in New Zealand for the entire process and they went above and beyond by becoming our chauffeur and picked us up from the airport and drove us to the salon on the day of settlement to finalise the sale. A great result in the end!

Samantha Jones , 01 Jan 2018 I’m probably one of the happiest seller you will find! Benchmark was fanatical at managing the sale and guiding the entire process. I got the price I wanted and a quick sale. Thanks for all your efforts

"I was recommended to talk with John through a valued industry contact. I must admit It took a while to find the right buyer but once we did I couldn’t have had anyone better look after the sale and the process.  I was super anxious throughout and I had the added pressure of the world wide pandemic of the corona virus shutdown looming on us, amazing job! John did a phenomenal job to keep the buyer engaged and to complete the deal even thou he faced a one of the biggest obstacles in our lifetime. If it wasn’t for John I would have never ever achieved this result, his services are worth every cent."

Peter , 19 May 2020 I engage the services of Nikki to help me find a hairdresser to buy my salon. Nikki found a great candidate and worked with her, the management agent and landlord to reach an amicable agreement for the lease. I am happy to say that this is the second time I have dealt with Nikki and she has delivered a quality service each time. Good luck Nikki with your next deal and all the best.

Amy , 13 Dec 2018 I contacted Nikki to begin the search for a salon. After speaking to Nikki about what I wanted, she called me and invited me to look at a lovely salon, she thought would be perfect for me….and it was! She showed me how to go about buying a salon and she helped me with sorting out a plan to make it work for both parties. Today, my dreams have come true with my own salon. Thank you Nikki, it is perfect for me! Thank you for all your help and making it happen!

Anne-Marie & Craig , 13 Dec 2018 My husband and I were on the lookout for a fully managed business as an investment and as a gentle entry into the small business world. We were lucky enough to come across Nikki who was extremely patient in helping us navigate the unfamiliar terms and environment. As novices in the small business world but experienced in general business we found her to be extremely knowledgeable and she answered all our queries without hesitation and with such a supportive approach. We believe she was out to represent both vendor’s and purchaser’s interests and to make the process as smooth as possible. We are very pleased to have started our journey and highly recommend Nikki as a broker
