Mark’s achievements in business ownership, business development and consulting are impressive, to say the least. His drive has always been the pursuit of betterment and growth, for himself and for others. “Working with business owners and helping them achieve their goals are incredibly satisfying,” he insists.
Though initially qualifying as an electrician, Mark’s instincts took him straight into small business ownership. Starting as a partner in one of the earliest Donut King stores in Australia, he went on to spend 20 years developing a home-grown Australian brand into the largest and most successful food franchise brand in its category in Australia.
Other brands were brought under his umbrella, before he ultimately sold out of a very successful company in 2004 (Retail Food Group) with 366 stores across six countries and over $100 million turnover per annum. It was time for a new challenge – this time to build a business in manufacturing.
From 2005 to 2012, Mark was a director and shareholder in Wheelboyz Australia, a mag wheel wholesale company and exclusive Australasian distributor for American Racing Equipment, the largest manufacturer of mag wheels in the world.
During this time, he also moved back into the franchise sector and has consulted to a number of franchisors to grow their businesses and sites. Most recent roles have included franchise development manager (Aust/NZ) for Domino’s Pizza and advisor to clients including the Hairhouse Warehouse Group, Australian Skin Clinics, and Nutrition Warehouse.
Such a valuable range of proven skills – business start-up and development, management, lease negotiation and site selection, tendering and construction oversight, franchisee selection, sales and business training to name just a few – are now applied for the benefit of Benchmark Business Brokers’ clients pursuing growth in the lucrative Registered Training Organisations sector.
And Mark’s personal passions? Family, fitness, motor sports, technology.
Mark Crapper's Testimonials
Jacob Rudge, May 2021 - I cannot recommend Mark highly enough, his knowledge of business and his inherent integrity shone through in every aspect of our dealings with him and we will certainly continue the relationship in years to come. We first contacted Mark when we decided to spread our wings and join the ranks of Australia's VET infrastructure. Mark anticipated our needs and requirements and placed us with a Vendor uniquely suited to our needs and brokered the deal expertly. There was never a moment of uncertainty and Mark and the team at Benchmark guided us through every step of the purchase with ease and ensured all parties were satisfied in a timely manner and everyone walked away from the deal happy. Kudos Mark and the team at Benchmark Business Sales and Valuations.

Mark provided excellent support, guidance and information for my client in the purchase of an RTO. He follows up when he says he will and is professional, courteous, and practical. His efforts to steer the sale from enquiry to completion went at times beyond his brief in an effort to provide solutions to any issues that were raised. I have operated as an VET and RTO compliance consultant for more than 20 years and am pleased to recommend Mark if you are looking for excellent customer service, integrity and RTO industry knowledge and experience. I look forward to an opportunity to work with Mark again. - Jex McNamara | July 22. Mark Crapper receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.
