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.

I am pleased to provide this recommendation for Mr Varun Pahwa of Medical Business Broker following his recent business appraisal and review of our medical practice. Throughout the process, Varun demonstrated a high level of professionalism, expertise, and attention to detail. He took the time to understand the unique aspects of our practice and conducted a thorough assessment of our business operations, financial performance, and growth opportunities. The appraisal was comprehensive, well structured, and delivered with clear and practical recommendations. His insights were valuable in helping us better understand our practice's strengths, identify areas for improvement, and consider strategies for future development. Varun's knowledge of the healthcare sector and general practice business environment was evident throughout the engagement. I found him to be approachable, objective, and highly professional in all interactions. The quality of his work and the value of the appraisal exceeded our expectations. I would have no hesitation in recommending Varun Pahwa and Medical Business Broker to other practice owners seeking professional business appraisal, valuation, or advisory services. – Dr Pejman Hajbabaie – GP Principal

I have purchased several salons through John Kasapi over the years, and he is always keeping an eye out for opportunities that align with my goals. When Rokstar became available, John immediately recognised its potential and presented it to me. I am delighted to have added this fantastic salon to my portfolio and am incredibly grateful that John gave me the opportunity to invest in such a quality business. His industry knowledge, connections and understanding of what I am looking for have made him a trusted advisor throughout my acquisition journey. Thank you again, John.

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

Via our broker Kurt in Townsville, we successfully sold our business! We had tried other brokers before... The key differences are the professional valuation, regular communication with us and we with potential buyers, and the fact that they only take on as many businesses as they can truly handle. Thanks guys!
