LET US HELP YOU NEGOTIATE A WIN-WIN OUTCOME.

Fiona Briffa , 01 Jan 2018 Benchmark Salon Sales knew exactly what my requirements were "I had been looking for a salon for a while and had nearly given up all hope! No-one was getting back to me or showing me what I wanted, then I spoke with Benchmark and since they were from the industry they knew exactly what my requirements were. I’ve now been able to get my first salon and kick start my business empire. Exciting times ahead thanks again."

Steve Wheeler came highly recommended by a former client of his, who was also one of our customers. Right from the beginning, Steve created an outstanding portfolio of our business (business location, future plans of the area, customer base & many other selling key points). He did his own homework to make it saleable. We found him to be exceptionally thorough and professional. We would recommend Steve without any reservations. Thank you, your efforts were much appreciated. Chris & Helen

It gives great pleasure to write this testimonial in relation to the service that you provided as the broker acting on our behalf during the sale of our business.  Jacob Reeson proved to be a very capable and knowledgeable person in his position of sales broker for the sale of our business.   He was always available to provide answers or suggestions to our many queries and concerns throughout the process.         As this was a thirty seven year family owned business with a lot of sentiment involved it was always important to have the right person on our side and Jacob proved to be that person providing a caring but professional approach to the process allowing us to achieve the outcome we expected.           We can not recommend Jacob highly enough and are now happy to include him in the list of great people we met through our business.  Thank you Jacob.

Another successful acquisition, and this time with perfect timing for the F1 weekend. I have been working with John for the past two years, and throughout that time we have stayed in regular contact, with a previous acquisition in Queensland. This latest purchase in Melbourne marks my first in the state, and once again John was exceptional. He is always available whenever I need support, advice or even just a general chat. His consistency and commitment make the entire process seamless. Thanks again, John. I look forward to catching up soon.”  Alex Scriven

Jennifer Hannan , 12 Dec 2018 I have looking to buy a salon for quite a while, after numerous conversations with Benchmark, I eventually found the perfect business that exactly suited my needs. I’m so happy to have bought the salon. From the lease through to the staff that came with the business and are now working for me, it is just what I wanted. I am absolutely delighted with the purchase. Thank you for making this possible and so straightforward

Making the decision to sell a business can be a daunting exercise in its own right, i.e., what is my business worth, How will I market the business, What vehicles will I use to achieve the best outcome, Who and what is my market, How do I distinguish between a legitimate buyer and tyre kickers (whom there will be an overabundance of), What details do I need to provide, How do I protect the integrity of my business during this process and so on? For a fleeting moment, we thought that marrying our business up with a suitable buyer was something within our capability. If only it was that simple. We then decided to seek out a Broker/Agent who would partner with us to achieve our goal of selling our business. A specialist whom would possess; an intimate understanding of our industry had a track record of selling similar businesses had a clear understanding of how to effectively promote our business, (in collaboration with us)set a fair asking price that would create both buyer interest and meet an outcome that would satisfy our expectations and importantly, be empathetic and possess exceptional listening skills After considerable research, we found such a specialist who met our brief perfectly; Jacob Reeson (Service Station Specialist) from Benchmark Business. Our decision to engage Jacob was quickly credentialed during our 1st ‘Face to Face’ meeting. Jacob is unbelievably professional on every level. Jacob’s plan of how we could achieve a favourable outcome was highly detailed, well thought out and above all collaborative. From the outset, we had a roadmap of how the process would unfold. Thanks to Jacob’s tenacity, knowledge and focus he was able to engage a number of interested parties which resulted in a contract and eventual sale, achieving a sale price reflective of the business value. Jacob continued to manage the process right through to settlement. He was present at the site during settlement to ensure the handover was seamless. Benchmark Business and Jacob Reeson are representative of a well-oiled, highly ethical and professional operation. I would most definitely recommend to any person or organisation considering selling their business to give Benchmark Business a call. Jeff and Elaine Martin
