"We initially tried to buy a business which in the end the seller didn’t want to sell, we thought this was crazy but John referred us onto a new one that came on the market and this one worked out to be a better fit. It was an absolute delight in chatting to John during our salon hunt and he guided us so professionally throughout the entire time and now my partner has her dream salon. Thanks again and good luck with the cricket." - James Polland | 11 Sep 2019 John really prides himself on offering his clients exceptional customer service, combined with his wealth of sales and industry knowledge.

Tom Calderwood , 10 Oct 2019 Thank you Troy Foran for the determination and professionalism with the regards to the sale of my business  The whole process was daunting to me in the beginning and I was not confident that I would get the outcome I wanted. Appointing you as my broker was certainly the right decision. You kept me apprised of any developments and updates and was always very flexible time wise in meeting with potential buyers and myself. You never intentionally got my hopes up ("There are no guarantees until the money's in the bank" you would say). As it turned out there were complications with a purchaser who signed an agreement however never honored it. You immediately went straight back to work and revamped the ad for our business and generated a tonne of new interest which resulted in a new purchaser within only a few months. Thank you for your professional service and I would certainly recommend Benchmark to anyone intending to sell their business.

Eddie Griffith , 12 Aug 2020 Two years ago I reached the stage where I felt that I should look to sell the business and started meeting with business brokers who advertised in the newspaper’s classified and on Google. Information Memorandum showing what the business had done in the past, the future potential and the asset/liability position. Things were looking promising. We discussed a marketing plan along with information memos showing what the business had done in the past the future potential and the normal assets and liabilities. Things looked good. Ian is extremely adept at strategically managing the negotiations, assessing the genuineness of prospective buyers and then closing the best deal for his client.

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.

Dear Andrew, I wanted to express my sincere gratitude for your invaluable assistance and support you extended to me during the sale of my childcare centre. Your dedication, expertise, and collaborative spirit were instrumental in achieving my goals. You kept everything on track and found an appropriate buyer for my rural childcare centre. I appreciate that you always returned my calls, checked in on me regularly and often made the long drive to support the sale. The support you extended during the final stages of the sale was very grounding, transparent and invaluable to me as a first vendor. Thank you for your commitment and hard work. Best regards, Kerrie Mault

Melanie made the whole buying process straight forward and was so calming and approachable. . She was always available to answer my questions and extremely helpful. I highly recommend Melanie. - Gabbi Every (5 Star Google Review)

Jacob was extremely helpful and knowledgeable throughout the entire sale process. He always returned my enquiries as soon as he could. He always remained calm and offered sound advice whenever an issue arose.

Rebekah Pike , 08 Apr 2019 I was getting a bit worried about Benchmark not being able to deliver a sale for me. My lease was nearly up and I needed to get out ASAP without walking away from the business I had built up. They finally pulled a rabbit out of their hat and found a buyer that took over the business just before the end of lease and he helped them get a brand new lease and approval from the landlord. I was in New Zealand for the entire process and they went above and beyond by becoming our chauffeur and picked us up from the airport and drove us to the salon on the day of settlement to finalise the sale. A great result in the end!
