"Thank you John. I have now sold down my chain of salons over the last 10 years. It was a very emotional experience for my partner and I to do so therefore. We put all our trust and faith in John to get the job done and I must say it was an amazing whirl wind event.  With extensive due diligence, finance difficulties and 2 shopping centre leases to get through we were constantly worried that we would never see the end. But with john's expertise we finally reached settlement after he helped the buyer to successfully jumping over these hurdles. I strongly recommend that you have John in the middle of any business transaction he is a real problem solver and miracle worker." - Matt Glyn | 06 Feb 2020 John Kasapi receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.

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

Jacob Rudge, May 2021 - I cannot recommend Mark highly enough, his knowledge of business and his inherent integrity shone through in every aspect of our dealings with him and we will certainly continue the relationship in years to come. We first contacted Mark when we decided to spread our wings and join the ranks of Australia's VET infrastructure. Mark anticipated our needs and requirements and placed us with a Vendor uniquely suited to our needs and brokered the deal expertly. There was never a moment of uncertainty and Mark and the team at Benchmark guided us through every step of the purchase with ease and ensured all parties were satisfied in a timely manner and everyone walked away from the deal happy. Kudos Mark and the team at Benchmark Business Sales and Valuations. Mark Crapper receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.

” Dear Mathew Hartley, Four months have nearly passed since you sold our SPAR Supermarket at Evans Head and it is only now that I have found the time to write to you. It is important to Carol and I that we take the time to extend to you our gratitude for all your professionalism, patients and friendship in dealing with us in the sale of our supermarket.

You were always creative, motivated and persistent when promoting the sale and it was pleasing to see you showed the same respect for your purchaser as you did for your vendor.

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.

"Sold sold sold at long last!!! From contract to settlement was 3 weeks which was really quick however before that we attempted to sell the business over a year ago and that didn’t work out at all well. But I’m thankful I used John 2nd time around to get the business finally over the line. I could not believe how hard these things are to sell and I can’t believe it’s finally happened, Im so happy now. If it wasn’t for John, who knows where this deal would have ended up especially with difficult lawyers involved.  I really do not know how John does it, thank god it's over." - Sean Skeffington | 06 Feb 2020 John Kasapi receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.

J. Hoppe , 13 Dec 2018 ” I first met Michael from Benchmark Business after I made a phone call to enquire about Benchmark Business, systems and ended up making an appointment to meet with Michael, that was in August 2013. Michael travelled from Brisbane to Toowoomba to meet with me and I was able to find out what he thought he could to sell our business and he found out all he could about our business, my husband, myself and why we wanted to sell. I was quite impressed with what Michael thought he could do to sell our business but I had to convince my husband to go with him as after having a couple of not so good experiences with other big name brokers and feeling ripped off he was very hesitant. Michael was persistent and rang me on average every two months for a chat and to see how we were going and did not pressure me at all. I got so used to his calls if he missed ringing I would ring him and touch base as I did not want to lose contact with him as I felt I could trust him to do the right thing when we were ready to list our business. Early in 2015 we were ready to list the business and property for sale so Michael came and met with my husband Graham and myself and everything went from there, there was only a small fee for the putting together of the business information memorandum for prospective buyers to view, this I felt he had done a great job putting together, the information in it was spot on. There were a few interesting enquiries and many discussions with Michael and I always felt comfortable with him and knew he understood where I was coming from so trust was growing for both of us then in the end of March and early April thing started to get interesting with lots of information going back and forth for several interested parties and by June we thought we had a buyer but then they backed away just before settlement in July, what a disappointment for us and Michael as we had worked so hard. Michael followed up with another party that had shown quite good interest and with lots more to-ing and throwing of information and much patience from both Michael and ourselves we finally got an offer we were happy with and accepted and things progressed from there and Contracts were signed and our business was sold on the 4th of December 2015. During 2015, our eldest daughter was seriously ill and I had to spend many months in Cairns caring for her, which made it very hard at times, but Michael always asked how she was and how I was coping and offered great support, this I greatly appreciated. During the time spent working with Michael over two years to achieve a successful sale, I felt we had built a bond of respect, trust and honest with each other and a friend ship had formed between us which I hope continues for many years. I am thankful I went with my gut feelings and put my trust in Michael of Benchmark Business. ” Yours sincerely J. Hoppe

Mel has been fantastic guiding me through the whole process of the sale from start to finish! Would highly recommend her. - 5 Star Google Review
