LET US HELP YOU NEGOTIATE A WIN-WIN OUTCOME.

Absolutely 100 percent professionals. Thank you Benchmark for selling our business. I know it was a hard one to sell, being in a remote area and all, but your persistence with buyers paid off. Thank you Marc Sax and everyone involved in this process. We are retired now and taking care of each other. Would recommend (and have done), this service to anyone wanting to get the most $'s for their business 🙂 They don't bother you too much with empty words, just that "we have an interested buyer" and that's all I wanted to hear. Thank you. - Jane and Don | August 22.

Our daughter contacted Bud regarding the possibility of listing our business for sale after coming across Benchmark’s advert on a google search. Bud was quick to respond and from the first chat was optimistic about listing and selling our business. Right through the process of listing, signing up and seeing the sale through to completion, Bud kept in regular contact with us, and made sure everything was in place for a smooth settlement and transition for the new owners.    Bud is friendly and always up for a chat, and we would thoroughly recommend Bud and the team at Benchmark to get the job done. - Leonie Combridge Gamil Baddour receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.

Jon Collins , 01 Jan 2018 I was put onto Benchmark to help manage the salon buying sale process, I found them very helpful and driven to get the sale completed. They were very diligent and made sure the salon sale timeline was followed for a smooth and timely settlement. If you are thinking of buying then I suggest you talk to Benchmark

Brad Jones , 11 Jun 2019 Emma was fantastic. She was always available and would do anything to answer questions and really went the extra mile to get the sale through. She is personable and easy to get along with and I would recommend her to anyone and would definitely use her services to sell or buy a business going forward.

We finally did it, John. We have secured our first salon business and we could not be more excited. Thank you for all your support and guidance throughout the entire process, particularly for getting the banks over the line. Your persistence and expertise made all the difference. We cannot wait to get started, and we look forward to working with you again when we are ready for the next salon. Thank you again for everything.

Thank you Jacob Your negotiation skill with the sale of Puma Nerang was impressive to say the least. The sale was a 3 way tussle between the Buyer, Seller and Landlord and multiple (including interstate) Solicitors,  Jacob handled it with calm expertise. Jacob even earned the respect of my solicitors for the way he negotiated the sale. Tony Wharton

From the beginning Ian Haggerty was very professional and in every conversation he demonstrated his industry knowledge and expertise as a broker. Des Pawelski , 12 Aug 2020 I have been in business for 51 years as cladding contractor with up to 100 employees who work in a factory and on larger commercial building sites. 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. None of the brokers seemed to genuinely understand my business or how to find a buyer. Late last year a competitor from another state phoned and said that he was interested in selling his business. He mentioned talking with a broker who was putting together a number of similar contracting businesses to sell to an investment group. Soon after, I was in contact with Ian Haggerty of Benchmark Corporate based in Queensland. From the beginning Ian was very professional and in every conversation he demonstrated his industry knowledge and expertise as a broker. Ian took the time to understand my position and then pointed out the advantages and pitfalls in selling my business. We discussed a marketing plan along with an Information Memorandum showing what the business had done in the past, the future potential and the asset/liability position. Things were looking promising. An advantage of the Benchmark organisation is that they have over 65 brokers operating throughout Australia and a huge buyer data base of potential buyers who have looked at businesses they had for sale in the past. From this pool we soon had prospective purchasers looking over the business, some expressed interest, others thought that the type of business was too hands on for them as every contract we perform is a bit different. In February the COVID virus struck causing major delays on a number of our larger projects, which caused significant cash flow issues. Things were looking grim and my hopes of a sale started to diminish. I consulted with a liquidator over insolvency concerns and administration was recommended (my cashflow had halved). Selling my business now appeared impossible - the employee accruals from long serving workers was a significant problem. I informed Ian that I had sought the advice of a liquidator and was intending on placing the company into administration. Ian strongly advised against taking such drastic action and recommended an immediate consultation with ReGroup Solutions, a firm of Turnaround Practitioners. Ian had worked with the ReGroup team previously and gotten excellent results. ReGroup Solutions provided excellent financial advice and guidance and I was able to regain control of trading operations. I then contacted some local businesses (who Ian had contacted previously) and was able to inform them that the crisis situation had been resolved and I was now able to continue trading whilst exploring offers for a sale of the business. Out of the multiple enquiries Ian received, we were left with two companies with serious offers on the table (despite this being around the time of the COVID virus outbreak). Ian collaborated with ReGroup Solutions and set about negotiating with the interested parties. Due to Ian’s involvement and assistance from ReGroup Solutions, we finally agreed a fair market sale of the business and the majority of employees jobs were saved. Ian went beyond the call of duty and negotiated a very reasonable two year consultancy position with the purchaser.   With the pandemic, these are very turbulent times. If you are concerned about succession or looking to sell your business, then I highly recommend Ian Haggerty from Benchmark. Ian is extremely adept at strategically managing the negotiations, assessing the genuineness of prospective buyers and then closing the best deal for his client. Ian’s approach was professional and he maintains strict confidentiality throughout. Ian understood the opportunity and potential for my business and then presented this to prospective buyers in the best light. Thanks Ian and Benchmark.

“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. They had the buyer straight away and we put two of my sites to contract and managed the entire process which involved lease negotiable, name agreement, product distribution contracts and so much more. Benchmark are full service brokers and go above and beyond. Yes I'm impressed!” - Chernae Noonan - Seller | 25 Jun 2019 John Kasapi receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.

"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 | 05 Feb 2020 John Kasapi receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.
