Anne-Marie & Craig , 13 Dec 2018 My husband and I were on the lookout for a fully managed business as an investment and as a gentle entry into the small business world. We were lucky enough to come across Nikki who was extremely patient in helping us navigate the unfamiliar terms and environment. As novices in the small business world but experienced in general business we found her to be extremely knowledgeable and she answered all our queries without hesitation and with such a supportive approach. We believe she was out to represent both vendor’s and purchaser’s interests and to make the process as smooth as possible. We are very pleased to have started our journey and highly recommend Nikki as a broker
"Benchmark were extremely helpful in finding my ideal salon. It was great to have an industry person to deal with throughout the transaction and I could call them anytime to bounce off ideas.  I will be in touch for my next one.

Jacob is very professional and knowledgeable. He was very transparent and helped us in understanding each and every aspect of Business buying. He helped us throughout the process and was always available even for our smallest query. Buying a Service station through him was a pleasant experience. We wish him all the best for his future endeavours. Appreciate all the hard work and dedication by Jacob and his team from beginning till the settlement constantly kept us updated with the progress. Excellent in communicating regularly, kept us well informed regarding the progress of deal, I highly recommend Jacob in the Service station business. His knowledge in Service Station industry is remarkable and very much up to date. It was a privilege to deal with Jacob. ~ Rohit Get to know more about Jacob Reeson and his accomplishments by clicking the "View Profile" button below.

Amy , 13 Dec 2018 I contacted Nikki to begin the search for a salon. After speaking to Nikki about what I wanted, she called me and invited me to look at a lovely salon, she thought would be perfect for me….and it was! She showed me how to go about buying a salon and she helped me with sorting out a plan to make it work for both parties. Today, my dreams have come true with my own salon. Thank you Nikki, it is perfect for me! Thank you for all your help and making it happen!
Kathy Edgar , 01 Jan 2018 I bought a salon previously through a different broker, but I had spoken to Benchmark in the past and knew they had the inside knowledge and professionalism to get my salon sold. I decide to list it with them and got a great result, we even organised settlement after the Christmas trade, which was a big bonus for me to keep the Christmas dollars. I’m now able to make a fresh start in 2018 – Thank you Benchmark.
"This is the second salon I have sold through John and he is only broker I trust. I have owned a number of salons in my 30+ years and John has an enormous amount of industry insight and this is one of the reasons I keep using him, the other is that he gets the job done unlike so many others that talk the talk but can't walk the walk." - Sam Barbaro | 11 Sep 2019 John Kasapi receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.
