Australia’s Business Brokers

Steven Peter , 18 Mar 2019 I first came across Benchmark when purchasing the Greville Clinic in October 2018, During the negotiations for this purchase my broker displayed consideration for both the vendor and the myself, always displaying attention to detail, efficiency and a solution-oriented mindset, making the process entirely seemless. Benchmark pursued all requests for more detailed information in a timely manner and kept me updated on the status of these requests. They were extremely supportive and considerate in all areas of the business purchase and it has been a pleasure to conduct business with you.

Jules , 13 Dec 2018 I first made contact with nikki several years ago and talked to her about various plans we had for the salon Industry. When these plans changed and we decided to go a different direction, my first call was to Nikki to discuss what we were looking for. She has helped us work through the process at every step and was straight forward in her approach. We worked well together and will stay in touch with Nikki for anything we are doing in the future. Thanks for your assistance Nikki in this project and we look forward to the next one!

" A big thanks goes out to Keith and the team at Benchmark. His knowledge of the industry and ability to follow through on leads enabled us to obtain the sale we were looking for.

Could not have asked for more." - Mark Glover | 6 Sep 2021 Keith Brewster receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.

" We found them so helpful all the way through the sale which took quite a while and required a lot of changes from the buyer. Keith communicated with us and kept us up to date with the sale the whole time. The team were great help with guidelines on forms and emails that needed to go to our solicitor to keep the sale on track. Keith helped me through many issues and his knowledge was amazing on what we needed to move forward with.

"Thanks again for an amazing result as well as arranging for an extend lease. This is my second salon in less than a year. I have always bought through John from Benchmark and I wouldn’t go through anyone else.  He is an absolute champ even though I haven’t even met him. Look forward to the next few." - Milan Shah | 11 Sep 2019 John Kasapi receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.

I can now see why John Kasapi is the best business broker in the country. He it truly outstanding at what he does and how he delivers amazing service. It is impressive to see how easily he made the sale go so smoothly. His pro-active approach was refreshing – not once did I have to ring him to find out what was happening with the process. He would even call me to touch base if he didn’t have an update – just to keep in touch! I’m also buying another salon business at the moment though a different business broker and I can see the difference between the two is so wide. I have dealt with a few different business brokers over the past few months, and some have actually lost their client a potential sale due to lack of communication. I still have not completed the other business purchase yet which was started 6 weeks before this one. I can understand that John really has the process down pat and just makes it so easy to move through the many steps that need to be completed. When I am ready to purchase another business in the next 6 months I will not hesitate to work with John again. Thanks John! John Kasapi receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.

"We were put in contact with Benchmark through a third party and had no pre conceived ideas of what to expect, and what the process of selling the business would involve. After meeting Brian i was immediately put at ease with the decision to sell and deal with Benchmark. The process was quite smooth (even though we were listed through the worst of the COVID period) and the sale went ahead quite quickly. Brian was a pleasure to deal with and would definitely recommend Benchmark to anybody choosing to sell their business. Thank you Very Much." Paul Leadbeater | Pool Care Pty Ltd.

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.
