Peter Gimpel 09 Aug 2021 - When we decided to sell our family Electrical Contracting company, we contacted Benchmark Business Valuations and were very please to be given Mr Glenn Irving as our business sales broker.  Glenn was tireless in chasing down leads and eventually we were matched up with a first class buyer for our small business.  Glenn was meticulous in hosting pre settlement meetings in the board room in house and also was able to recommend an excellent small business lawyer to complete all the necessary transactions for the completion of the sale.  The settlement of the sale of the business was guided to an excellent conclusion by Glenn and his team. We have no hesitation in recommending Glenn and his team to anyone wanting to buy or sell a small business. Glenn Irving receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.

Job Well Done. I listed our Equipment Hire business with Brian Sander from Benchmark’s Adelaide Office. Brian handled the sale with professionalism and skill.

I would happily recommend Brian and the Benchmark team if you are looking to sell a business in Adelaide or South Australia. - Gordon Elley | June 2022 Brian Sander receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.

Steven , 13 Dec 2018 I have dealt with Benchmark before when buying a salon so it was a no brainer that I should get them to sell my salon too! They dealt with everything efficiently and they practically sold the salon on the first week to one of their investors! Benchmark really proved that they are the “go to” company when it comes to selling salons – Thanks for the fast results! It seemed smooth sailing and I got a great result – all because they really know their market! I would have no hesitation in recommending Benchmark.

ReGroup Solutions , 12 Aug 2020 Ian’s client was a director who had been in business for 51 years as cladding contractor. The Company had up to 100 employees working from owned factory premises and on-site at large commercial building sites nationally. The Director had been thinking of succession and made contact with Ian to investigate the sales potential of his long-standing and reputable business. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 crisis struck and the Company’s supply chain was severely impacted. The Director sought the advice of a registered liquidator, who recommended external administration. The Director’s hopes of achieving a positive sale quickly diminished and the position with the bank meant there was now a serious risk he would lose his family home.  Operating nationally, Benchmark has a huge database of prospective buyers and Ian had already generated significant genuine interest by drafting an impressive Information Memorandum and selectively negotiating with several key interested parties. Ian was concerned over the liquidator’s advice to his Client. The Director was being pressured into placing the company into voluntary administration (which Ian could see was premature and too drastic). Ian had identified his Client’s potential and felt that any insolvency procedure would unnecessarily destroy the company’s goodwill and asset values.  ReGroup Solutions would like to give a huge thanks to Ian for referring his client, the Director, to us for a second opinion. After conducting our preliminary analysis, ReGroup Solutions advised the Director on his capacity to utilise the ‘insolvency safe harbour’ under section 588GA. The new legislation, effective since September 2017, provides directors with protection from insolvent trading personal liability whilst they explore a range of restructuring and turnaround strategies. This enabled the Director to continue trading his business so that a ‘going concern’ sale could still be actively pursued by Ian. This meant Ian could still maximise the outcome for his Client by continuing his strategic negotiations.  ReGroup Solutions provided initial crisis management advice and then proceeded to investigate the various restructuring and turnaround options with the Director. The insolvency Safe Harbour provided the director with breathing space and enabled Ian Haggerty to continue his negotiating with key interested parties. The team at ReGroup Solutions worked closely with Ian Haggerty throughout the entire process – despite being an extremely complex matter, made worst by the COVID crisis, we’re delighted to say that Ian successfully negotiated a tremendous outcome for his Client!   Ian lead the way in agreeing a sale of his Client’s business, assets and the large factory premises. This not only meant the majority of workforce kept their jobs but the indebtedness to the bank could also be fully satisfied. The Director’s home was no longer at risk and Ian’s Client stands to walk away with potential surplus of $1.5m. The deal stands to return 100c in the dollar to trade creditors. Ian even secured his client a two year consultancy position with the purchaser - and at an exceptional rate! Ian’s Client can now take a well-deserved step back, with his impeccable reputation intact.   On a personal level, it was an absolute pleasure collaborating with a skilled negotiator such as Ian. The very purpose of the insolvency Safe Harbour is to help the director find a ‘better outcome’ for all stakeholders by utilising a skilled team of professionals. In this particular case, Ian was able to get an outstanding outcome for his Client on multiple levels. This was despite the extremely difficult and volatile market conditions.  Congratulations to Ian Haggerty on what has ended up being a landmark Safe Harbour win for his Client!

"I have been looking to buy a hairdressing salon and contacted Benchmark. John was my broker, I knew exactly what I wanted, (and what I didn’t want). John knew which salon would be perfect for me and didn’t waste my time with salons I wouldn’t be interested in for the sake of showing me salons. I am so incredibly happy with my purchase ;-) On top of that throughout the process John was very helpful and kept me informed on a regular basis of how the purchase was progressing. It’s great owning my own boutique Salon again...  (sixth) and John was the person who found the salon that suited my needs" - Rebecca Kratz  | 19 May 2020 John Kasapi receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.
