Tom Calderwood , 10 Oct 2019 Thank you Troy Foran for the determination and professionalism with the regards to the sale of my business  The whole process was daunting to me in the beginning and I was not confident that I would get the outcome I wanted. Appointing you as my broker was certainly the right decision. You kept me apprised of any developments and updates and was always very flexible time wise in meeting with potential buyers and myself. You never intentionally got my hopes up ("There are no guarantees until the money's in the bank" you would say). As it turned out there were complications with a purchaser who signed an agreement however never honored it. You immediately went straight back to work and revamped the ad for our business and generated a tonne of new interest which resulted in a new purchaser within only a few months. Thank you for your professional service and I would certainly recommend Benchmark to anyone intending to sell their business.

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 Crapper receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.

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.

CJ Morello- , 01 Jan 2018 After looking at many salons with many brokers – we have finally bought a fantastic salon. Thank you for all your dedication and patience throughout.
