LET US HELP YOU NEGOTIATE A WIN-WIN OUTCOME.

Lisa Oakes , 08 Apr 2019 I got a phone call out of the blue from Clyde who said that he had a buyer and really wanted me to list my salon so that he could introduce them to my salon, it was all quite random but the timing was perfect because I was scheduled to have surgery early in the new year and would be out of action for months after the surgery. I was a little dubious that there really was a buyer, but I actually received an offer the day after I signed the agreement! Things definitely weren’t all smooth sailing though. The contract period went over the Christmas break and then the buyer had to go overseas for 6 weeks and all the accountants and solicitors were also on holidays! I thought the sale was off however Clyde was very calm and reassured me that the sale would proceed when the buyer was back from overseas, which it did. Now I can focus on my recovery without the stress of running the business, awesome job!

Sarah Withers , 01 May 2018 Benchmark helped in finding our first hair salon. They have been instrumental, professional and easy to deal with. They made our life so easy and smooth from start to finish. Benchmark have been very supportive and honest from the start. They have such a proactive approach. We would definitely recommend them and for any business purchase or sale process.

I was initially sceptical when John told me he already had a buyer lined up before we had even listed the business. It sounded like a typical sales pitch, but he quickly proved me wrong. Within days, John introduced a genuine buyer who was the perfect fit for the business, my clientele and the local community. It was clear he had taken the time to understand what was important to me and the future of the business. The process moved incredibly quickly. We arranged an inspection within days, and within a week contracts had been signed and everything was progressing smoothly. Having a supportive landlord also helped make the entire experience seamless. I am absolutely delighted with the outcome. The business was sold quickly, achieved a great result and was handled with professionalism from start to finish. John, I am truly grateful for your hard work and for finding the right person to take over my business. I would highly recommend you to anyone considering selling their business. – Katie Harding

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.

Purchasing a business requires a certain level of effort but selling one is on the Oppenheimer scale. I have done both with Benchmark, and they were there every step of the way, with Maurice being the most patient, gentlemanly and experienced star of the process. However, he was not alone, with support from Ashlee, and even Bruce would get involved when things became tricky. All in all, an amazing team whom I would recommend to anyone who is thinking of getting into or out of a business. - Gordon Kappelhoff

We engaged Jacob Reeson from Benchmark Business Sales & Valuations to manage the sale of one of our company owned service stations, and we were extremely pleased with both the way Jacob managed the process and the outcome achieved. From the outset, Jacob provided sound guidance regarding the site, the market and the overall sale process. He was well informed, diligent and demonstrated a strong commercial understanding of the arrangements and challenges that arose throughout the transaction. Importantly, Jacob remained focused on achieving the best possible outcome for us. He did not simply take the easy path by appeasing potential buyers when challenges emerged. At the same time, he ensured negotiations and discussions continued to progress without unnecessary disruption. Jacob was proactive in following up issues and was always easy to contact, responsive and professional in all dealings. We would have no hesitation in recommending Jacob and Benchmark and would certainly engage Jacob again should we have additional sites to sell in the future. - Anthony Gilbert (Petro National)
