“I found out about Benchmark because they came highly recommended from an Industry contact. We initial listed with them however we couldn’t get the money we wanted. They suggested taking the business off the market and building it up the to be more profitable, to be able to sell and achieve the price we wanted. 8 months later we increased the figures and listed the business with them at a higher price. They delivered a buyer instantly and got us the money we wanted. They were fantastic in guiding us through the process and keeping all parties on track throughout the Christmas period especially when the lawyers were on holiday. I will definitely be recommending Benchmark to all of my fellow hair salon owners if they decide to sell.” - Tanya Lam | 18 Mar 2019 John Kasapi receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.

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!

I enlisted Laurence's services after I received a canvassing email from him - and boy I'm glad I did. I have never sold a business before, and Laurence was patient and thoroughly explained how it all works. He kept me updated regularly during the process and went above and beyond in every aspect of the sale. I would highly recommend Laurence to anyone! Thanks mate - you were an absolute legend! :)

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

I’m a salon owner who was looking to sell my buisness. I engaged benchmark business and had the pleasure of working with Mel Cordony. She was very professional and we worked as a team to find the best buyer to suit my salon. This couldn’t have been a better outcome. The new salon owner is fabulous and we negotiated a part time contact for me to work on the salon ongoing. I’m so happy with the way we all worked together and this was a positive experience for all of us. Thanks again Mel! - Kylie Whitlock

Kate Mcdonald , 01 Apr 2018 I recently returned from living overseas and I knew I wanted to jump straight into running my own business. I came across an advertisement on the benchmark website and the broker so easy to talk to. He showed me a number of salons and when I finally made the decision to buy and I stepped into the business I knew It was meant to be!! We had a quite few issues to overcome but when the going got tough Benchmark was always at the end of the phone helping the process along and answering all my questions, this is the start of my business empire!!! Thanks Benchmark.
