LET US HELP YOU NEGOTIATE A WIN-WIN OUTCOME.

We recently purchased a business through Benchmark, and the entire process was outstanding from start to finish. Our agent, Ziggy, was incredibly responsive and supportive throughout every stage of the acquisition. Ziggy took the time to guide us through the whole process and made the complex task feel smooth and manageable. I highly recommend Ziggy and Benchmark to anyone looking to acquire a business. - Brendan Stone

As an experienced buyer and seller of businesses I have dealt with many business brokers. It is with that background that I can confidently say that the service provided by Ian Salter is second to none. Ian’s attention to detail and genuine care to get the best result for all is unquestionable. This was particularly evidenced when an issue with the business purchase remained unresolved many weeks after settlement, Ian continuously pursued all parties until the matter was resolved. I would have no hesitation recommending Ian Salter to anyone looking to buy or sell a business. ” Regards, S. Sneddon Ian Salter receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.

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

“Wow wow wow they truly are the best in the business. Benchmark delivered record sales on two of my best stores and were an absolute delight to deal with. My sale was a seamless and I can definitely see why they are the best in the country. When it's time to sell my chain there I will be calling Benchmark.

"We received a post card in the mail and I was initially skeptical of this as it said that John had someone wanting to buy my business, however I gave John a call and he appraised the business and he said his buyer was keen. Within two days we had done an inspection and I received an offer. At the start I wanted to be in control but quickly discovered that I needed to leave it to the expert. John was a master at getting the job done and managing the process until the very end. I am extremely happy, I got a fantastic price, smooth quick sale and I got to stay on as a hairdresser with the new owner. It was truly the result that I didn’t even contemplate was possible until I spoke with John. I was quite emotional about selling my pride and joy but John held my hand through the entire process and I highly recommend selling through Benchmark." - Larissa Thripp | 11 Sep 2019 John Kasapi receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.

Maria Chadwick , 13 Dec 2018 I used another broker before Benchmark and they did nothing. John and Iain jumped straight on board and worked their magic!! The business was only listed for 2 days before they had a buyer interested and committed. The process was interesting especially as I was overseas but we managed to get through it successfully. I’m happy as I haven’t had to say goodbye to the business I’ve been able to stay on and work part time for the new owner a great result for all parties

"Fantastic result achieved by John Kasapi selling my 2 barber shops to 2 different buyers in 2 different locations. I cannot rate him more highly. I initial listed with a local broker and I only wish I knew about John first.  Throughout The deals on both shops it was great chatting to John and understanding the steps along the way to get them sold. Even when we had some difficult moments john handled it with ease and control. It was really was great having a such a professional represent us and Consistently deliver.  I am the barber biz magazine editor and would not hesitate to recommend John to all sellers wanting to sell their businesses."
