Core services our Perth business brokers can provide
At Benchmark Business Brokers, we offer comprehensive services to ensure that, whether you’re buying or selling, you can entrust your business to us! Here are our core services:
Valuing your business
We conduct a fair business valuation, based on current market values, so you have a realistic idea of what your business is currently worth. We can also help you strategise to improve your business's market value, and help you figure out the most profitable but fair price for when you enter the market.
Selling your business
Selling a business should require a tailored strategy, and that's exactly what we do for you. We understand that every business is different, and an effective marketing strategy is needed to make it stand out to potential buyers. Our diverse team has experience in various industries, and they know what sells. This gives us the edge that gets your business in front of the right people in Perth.
Buying a business
Buying a business also requires a calculated approach to ensure you make a wise investment. Our team of brokers has years of training, which enables them to spot a good deal or a business's red flags from a distance. We can source a business that matches your industry, expertise, and budget to help you make a wise investment.
Franchise sales
Thinking of buying into a franchise? We can help you with that, too. Buying a franchise has its own administrative process, which can make it seem very overwhelming, but our specialised team knows how to guide you every step of the way to help make it seem less complicated.

FAQs about business brokerage services in The Perth
Why should I use a business broker?
When you hire a business broker, you don’t just get a professional who knows how to handle the paperwork; you’re getting a team of individuals who have extensive experience in the industry and an in-depth understanding of the market and how to spot a good sale. Brokers not only mitigate the risk of making a bad investment, but they also have the know-how to secure a better deal or help you get a higher valuation for your business.
How much does it cost to hire a Perth business broker?
Every business we’ve consulted for or helped sell has been different, so we’re unable to give a direct price, as our services will differ depending on the needs of your business.
How can I sell a business in Perth?
First of all, congratulations on your decision. The best way to sell your business in Perth is to get in touch with a brokerage today who can help facilitate everything that goes into selling. There’s lots more required than simply posting the business to market and waiting for buyers to approach, so choosing a brokerage that you can trust is often a necessary first step in getting the ball rolling.
Can you provide business valuations?
Yes, Benchmark Business is proud to present our team of highly qualified valuers who strive for excellence in all aspects of buying and selling businesses. Our team of experts use our unique positioning in the industry and real sales evidence to make accurate calculations rather than theories, meaning you can trust our detailed valuation reports more than many other valuations conducted by competitor brokerages.
For more information get in touch with a business valuer in Perth.
How long does it take to sell a business on the Perth?
How long it takes to sell a business all depends on the condition of the business, whether it’s ready to sell straight away, and what extra work we need to do to get it ready for market. Our expert brokers aim to sell businesses using conventional methods within around 45 days of becoming active in the open market. However, how long it takes to get to market all depends on our communication channels, the condition of the business and market, and what goals you’ve set in regard to price and ideal buyers.
How do you find buyers for my business?
Benchmark Business has been operating as a leading brokerage for 25 years, and during that time we’ve managed to acquire plenty of contacts that make selling businesses a breeze. When you work with us, we’ll use these exclusive channels to get your business where it needs to be – which is right in front of prospective buyers.
How do you maintain confidentiality during a business sale?
We specialise in all types of business, as our extensive team of experts is trained to handle all types of business sale engagements. No matter what your business is, we can help you sell it as efficiently and effectively as possible.
Can I change my mind and stop the sale of my business?
Buyers are within their rights to withdraw from a business sale during the process, just as your seller can also withdraw should they choose to. If you decide you don’t want to sell anymore, simply tell us and we’ll take the necessary steps to withdraw your business from the market.
What information should I share with potential buyers?
Selling a business requires you to provide copies of all legal documents related to the business, including articles of incorporation, business licences, permits, contracts, leases, and intellectual property registrations. Buyers will want to review these documents to make sure the business is in good standing without any legal issues. However, if there are certain aspects of the business’s details that you don’t want to share for any reason, feel free to discuss with us and we’ll see whether confidentiality is acceptable in your circumstance.
Will I have to negotiate directly with buyers?
With our business brokers, you won’t have to handle the negotiations; we can do everything for you. We’ll sit with potential buyers and negotiate on your behalf, relaying your preferences and protecting your interests as we secure a buyer for your business.
What documents do I need to get ready before selling my business?
Before we do your valuation, we’ll give you a list of documents that we’ll need from you to start the process. These are some of the documents we typically need to have ready:
- Financial statements from the last three to five years
- Tax returns
- Asset documents
- Intellectual property documents
- Contracts with suppliers
- Any other documents that influence the value of your business
Can I sell my business while running it?
Absolutely! While we would love for your business to sell within a day, this is very unlikely. Businesses in Australia typically take between two and six months to sell or longer. During this time, business doesn’t come to a halt, and you need to keep running your business. We’ll handle the sale, so you can keep improving your business and give you time to tie up any loose ends.
