LET US HELP YOU NEGOTIATE A WIN-WIN OUTCOME.

"I'm delighted with this fantastic result. John Kasapi found the absolute best buyer to purchase my business And it seems that the same buyer will now buy my building. I had my business for many many years and really wanted someone to take it over that would care for the clients as well as I did and deliver a professional haircutting services so to achieve this is unreal. I was recommended to John form Pavlos the founder of Biba and at first I didn’t know whether John could get the job done for me however he pulled out a rabbit from his magical hat and delivered.  Thanks again." - Sash Alexander Culakovski | 01 Jun 2019

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

Caitlin , 13 Dec 2018 I contacted Nikki as I was looking for a second salon and enquired about one she has advertised. She discussed it with me and answered all my questions then set me up with a viewing and I knew immediately this was the “one”. Nikki helped me with all aspects of the purchase and last week I started work at my new salon. Thank you Nikki – you kept in touch throughout and today everything is sorted. I appreciate everything you did to get me my new salon

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.

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

I really can’t thank John enough for his determination in seeing this through over a most difficult time that I’ve ever seen in 45years of hairdressing. 35 of those years in business and selling in this climate has been challenging. Well…. You certainly showed us all, that “Determination” is your middle name! After having 2 other brokers attempting this feat and not being successful I was ready to give up. Then I spoke to John and he brought back all my faith in being able to sell my business and go into retirement. Thank you again. You certainly are the broker I would recommend to any of my friends that are ready to sell and move into a new face in life.  -Tatjana Vaupel | May 2022 John Kasapi receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.

Eleni Kondo , 18 Mar 2019 To all prospective business sellers, I would have no hesitation in recommending Benchmark as your business agent. They were very professional, organise & provided a high level of communication & care. Our broker was there every step of the way through a somewhat difficult & prompt sale. I'm a former licensed real estate agent so have experience in the industry & have never had to outsource for a service I'm capable of doing but I'm very glad I did. Well worth the money. Thank you!
