"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.

Thanks, John. Just in before Christmas! I really appreciate your help, perfect timing for the Christmas rush. It will be great for my son to start working in the business, and we are looking forward to a prosperous holiday period. Wishing you a very Happy Christmas! - Chery Murdoch

"Well it was an eventful business sale, initially we had a contract on my business but the first buyer could not come up with the money a day before settlement which was a disaster however Iain and John assured me that they had another two buyers who would look at the business. I was very disappointed at this stage but Benchmark continued to dig deep and deliver another buyer who was able to settle on the business. I did find the whole process quite stressful however in the end Benchmark did deliver the sale and I'm now able to move on with the next chapter. Thanks for seeing the sale through to completion." - Marianne Zanca | 08 Apr 2019 John Kasapi receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.

I recently sold my business, and Karl Barban was referred to me through a connection in the transport industry. From our very first meeting, Karl demonstrated a strong knowledge and understanding of what it takes to successfully negotiate and sell a business in this sector. He was always available to take calls, attend meetings and provide guidance throughout the process. His professionalism and commitment ultimately led to the successful sale of my business. I highly recommend Karl as a trusted professional and a key partner when it comes to selling your business. Manny Sarantis

My husband and I recently sold our Business through Ian Salter at Benchmark. From the start to finish Ian was always available and guiding us through the process ensuring we had everything in place for a potential buyer at the beginning and then guiding us through the sale he always kept us up to date with the progress of the sale whether it be a phone call a text or an email. His professionalism was outstanding and knowledge of the whole process was extremely helpful to have Ian's guidance in the process to the day of settlement. I can't recommend Ian's services highly enough. Thank you Ian and will definitely use your services again in the near future. -Donna Carroll | June 2022  Ian Salter receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.

"This is the second time buying a business through Benchmark and I returned to them because John is an experienced broker that knows the buying process and has delivered for me in the past. This time we hit quite a few difficulties but John was able to assist in getting the job done. Good to have you on board again." - Nilay Bhagat | 06 Feb 2020 John Kasapi receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.

I’ve known John for over a decade, and I originally purchased my first salon through Benchmark. I can honestly say that John saved me on this one. He somehow managed to get everything finalised just before I was due to pay the next month’s rent. John is a genuinely kind, helpful and trustworthy person. Even when the deal fell over at one point, he pulled everything back together and kept the process moving forward. Now that my salon is sold, I couldn’t be more grateful. His work was exceptional, and we even managed to share a few laughs along the way, including the classic “computer says no” moments. If you are looking to buy or sell a business, there is no easier decision than choosing the right person to guide you. The champagne has never tasted so good. - Jenova Chetty

I can now see why John Kasapi is the best business broker in the country. He it truly outstanding at what he does and how he delivers amazing service. It is impressive to see how easily he made the sale go so smoothly. His pro-active approach was refreshing – not once did I have to ring him to find out what was happening with the process. He would even call me to touch base if he didn’t have an update – just to keep in touch! I’m also buying another salon business at the moment though a different business broker and I can see the difference between the two is so wide. I have dealt with a few different business brokers over the past few months, and some have actually lost their client a potential sale due to lack of communication. I still have not completed the other business purchase yet which was started 6 weeks before this one. I can understand that John really has the process down pat and just makes it so easy to move through the many steps that need to be completed. When I am ready to purchase another business in the next 6 months I will not hesitate to work with John again. Thanks John! 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
