Every listing is handled by a Benchmark broker who knows the business and its industry, and who stays involved from your first enquiry through to settlement.
Search the listings by location, industry and price, then send an enquiry on any business that suits you. The broker handling the sale will contact you to talk it through.
To protect the owner, staff and customers, you sign and submit a confidentiality agreement before the business name and detailed figures are released.
Your broker sends the information memorandum, which covers the business, how it operates, its lease, staff and financial performance, so you can judge it on the numbers.
Meet the owner, inspect the business and review the figures with your accountant and solicitor. Your broker then negotiates your offer and coordinates the sale through to settlement.

The broker handling the sale will contact you to talk through the business and what you are looking for. To see the full details, you sign a confidentiality agreement and receive the information memorandum, then the financials as you progress. From there you can meet the owner, inspect the business and make an offer through the broker.
Most owners have not yet told their staff, customers or suppliers that the business is for sale, so listings describe the business without identifying it. The name, location and financial details are released once you sign a confidentiality agreement with the broker.
Yes. Register as a buyer with the industry, location and budget you have in mind, and our brokers will contact you when a matching business comes up, including businesses sold off market. If you want someone to search and negotiate on your behalf, our buyer’s agency service can help.
Compare the price with the adjusted profit the business makes for an owner, not its turnover, and with similar businesses in the same industry. Before you commit, work through due diligence with your accountant and solicitor, and check whether stamp duty applies in your state.
Talk to one of our brokers. They will start with a confidential, no-obligation appraisal, agree a sale strategy with you, and then market your business to buyers already registered with Benchmark as well as through these listings.
