LET US HELP YOU NEGOTIATE A WIN-WIN OUTCOME.

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 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

I enlisted Laurence's services after I received a canvassing email from him - and boy I'm glad I did. I have never sold a business before, and Laurence was patient and thoroughly explained how it all works. He kept me updated regularly during the process and went above and beyond in every aspect of the sale. I would highly recommend Laurence to anyone! Thanks mate - you were an absolute legend! :)

Kate Mcdonald , 01 Apr 2018 I recently returned from living overseas and I knew I wanted to jump straight into running my own business. I came across an advertisement on the benchmark website and the broker so easy to talk to. He showed me a number of salons and when I finally made the decision to buy and I stepped into the business I knew It was meant to be!! We had a quite few issues to overcome but when the going got tough Benchmark was always at the end of the phone helping the process along and answering all my questions, this is the start of my business empire!!! Thanks Benchmark.

"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

Suzette Jones , 01 May 2018 Wow Wow Wow This process was a whole lot easy than I ever thought it would be – I listed and sold within a matter of weeks. I had heard so many horror stories but my sale was a breeze. I had been in my salon for over 25 years and it was my baby! To finally come to the decision to sell my salon was a very emotional period for me and even more of a struggle was to find someone that I could trust and understood my concerns and needs! I had to know that I was going to work with a broker who understood me and our industry and wasn’t just full of hot air and over promising and under delivers. I had done my research and couldn’t have been happier with my choice to use Benchmark, the process was seamless and before you knew it, it was SOLD!!! I was even overseas while the settlement happened, this just shows how hard Benchmark worked on getting the salon sold quickly and how well they managed the entire sale, and they really do have the contacts within the industry and get the job done. Wow Wow Wow!!!

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.

" We found them so helpful all the way through the sale which took quite a while and required a lot of changes from the buyer. Keith communicated with us and kept us up to date with the sale the whole time. The team were great help with guidelines on forms and emails that needed to go to our solicitor to keep the sale on track. Keith helped me through many issues and his knowledge was amazing on what we needed to move forward with. Keith was one of the most professional people I have ever worked with and would recommend him and Benchmark to any of my business associates when selling. Thank you to Benchmark and your team it was hard going but with you having our backs we got there." - Sandi and Roy Koops | 11 Dec 2021 Keith Brewster receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.
