Ian Salter was the broker of the business I was purchasing, and I could not fault his efforts throughout the entire process. Communication between myself and the sellers made the process very easy. I would recommend Ian to both family and friends. - PAS

5 Stars!

Glenn Irving from Benchmark Business Brokers worked tirelessly to achieve a great sales outcome for us. Glenn achieved our asking price and made the process as hassle free as possible in what was, at times, a complicated sale. Thanks Glenn - Scott

J. Hoppe , 13 Dec 2018 ” I first met Michael from Benchmark Business after I made a phone call to enquire about Benchmark Business, systems and ended up making an appointment to meet with Michael, that was in August 2013. Michael travelled from Brisbane to Toowoomba to meet with me and I was able to find out what he thought he could to sell our business and he found out all he could about our business, my husband, myself and why we wanted to sell. I was quite impressed with what Michael thought he could do to sell our business but I had to convince my husband to go with him as after having a couple of not so good experiences with other big name brokers and feeling ripped off he was very hesitant. Michael was persistent and rang me on average every two months for a chat and to see how we were going and did not pressure me at all. I got so used to his calls if he missed ringing I would ring him and touch base as I did not want to lose contact with him as I felt I could trust him to do the right thing when we were ready to list our business. Early in 2015 we were ready to list the business and property for sale so Michael came and met with my husband Graham and myself and everything went from there, there was only a small fee for the putting together of the business information memorandum for prospective buyers to view, this I felt he had done a great job putting together, the information in it was spot on. There were a few interesting enquiries and many discussions with Michael and I always felt comfortable with him and knew he understood where I was coming from so trust was growing for both of us then in the end of March and early April thing started to get interesting with lots of information going back and forth for several interested parties and by June we thought we had a buyer but then they backed away just before settlement in July, what a disappointment for us and Michael as we had worked so hard. Michael followed up with another party that had shown quite good interest and with lots more to-ing and throwing of information and much patience from both Michael and ourselves we finally got an offer we were happy with and accepted and things progressed from there and Contracts were signed and our business was sold on the 4th of December 2015. During 2015, our eldest daughter was seriously ill and I had to spend many months in Cairns caring for her, which made it very hard at times, but Michael always asked how she was and how I was coping and offered great support, this I greatly appreciated. During the time spent working with Michael over two years to achieve a successful sale, I felt we had built a bond of respect, trust and honest with each other and a friend ship had formed between us which I hope continues for many years. I am thankful I went with my gut feelings and put my trust in Michael of Benchmark Business. ” Yours sincerely J. Hoppe

I don't even know where to start. Had my salon listed with someone else but didn't get any results. Found John Kasapi who delivered a few buyers straight away. Then the games began with our landlord. He was a nightmare. There were rent increases, yearly term changes, option problem, wrong names on documents, no one returning our calls, terrible lawyers involved. However, one phenomenal business broker pulled it all together and somehow got the sale to settlement. Amazing job John. I would highly recommend John to anyone selling a Salon and already have!

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

"I recently sold my salon using Benchmark. Instantly I thought of John Kasapi from a few years ago when I was looking to buy a salon because he was the only broker who I ever felt comfortable with and admired his knowledge. This turned out to be a smart move as John was very experienced in this aspect of the business and he found me a buyer in a short space of time and the sale went through very smoothly and hassle free which enabled me to move on to my next chapter in life. I would strongly recommend using John from Benchmark when buying or selling salons." - Neela McGilton | 08 Apr 2019 John Kasapi receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.

"We initially received a postcard in the mail and at first we were apprehensive about whether Benchmark had a buyer for our business. However, we called John and he actually had a buyer quickly for my business and we went to contract immediately. This has been a emotional roller coaster and that's why I'm writing this testimonial, as I want to let other potential sellers know it is extremely important to have the right broker on your side. John is the best around. He is my super hero. If you are concerned about paying fees ... trust me he is worth every cent." - Chloe Shipilov | 06 Feb 2020 John Kasapi receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.
