Testimonials



We engaged Jacob Reeson from Benchmark Business Sales & Valuations to manage the sale of one of our company owned service stations, and we were extremely pleased with both the way Jacob managed the process and the outcome achieved. From the outset, Jacob provided sound guidance regarding the site, the market and the overall sale process. He was well informed, diligent and demonstrated a strong commercial understanding of the arrangements and challenges that arose throughout the transaction. Importantly, Jacob remained focused on achieving the best possible outcome for us. He did not simply take the easy path by appeasing potential buyers when challenges emerged. At the same time, he ensured negotiations and discussions continued to progress without unnecessary disruption. Jacob was proactive in following up issues and was always easy to contact, responsive and professional in all dealings. We would have no hesitation in recommending Jacob and Benchmark and would certainly engage Jacob again should we have additional sites to sell in the future. - Anthony Gilbert (Petro National)

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

"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.
