Benchmark International Reviews 195

Benchmark are a great team who work hard to achieve optimum value. They understand the client’s business and then take the lead in negotiations so that the seller/buyer relationship remains positive.

Benchmark has spammed my company multiple times, suggesting we'd like to sell while getting several things (inc. company name!). One more such email and we'll have to make an official complaint about this.

Benchmark managed to write to our general email address requesting an appointment to discuss a vague interest in sale of our business. Thus informing everyone in the company.

I hope they avoid us in future.

Absolutely AMAZING Service from start to finish, can't thank all BenchMark staff enough. You couldn't get Better.

I would like to thank Benchmark International for their constant support during the sale of our business. They took a lot of pressure off during the transaction and their professionalism, their depth of team and their obvious knowledge in our sector bred confidence in us moving forward with the project. Without Benchmark International, I don’t believe we would have achieved the right result.

Richard Burt, FastSMS Limited

Benchmark, (in particular Alex), was extremely helpful from the beginning to the conclusion of the sale of our business. We were fully supported through out the whole process.

Langcliffe International work exclusively for domestic and international buyers to identify acquisition opportunities . Over the last 7 years we have seen numerous deals from Benchmark and a number of our clients have succesfully completed transactions. The team has significant experience of delivering a deal and we have enjoyed working with them.

Dont bother ! Salesman visits with all sorts or promises and sales talk then doesnt answer emails or phone calls . Produce fancy documents but dont do much else as far as I can see.

I've worked with Benchmark on a number of transactions and they have always provided a good and professional service and our mutual clients were very satisfied.

Benchmark offer a complete and compelling depth and breadth of service. They have a strong track record in the sector with a highly experienced and motivated team dedicated to getting good deals across the line.

They take the time to understand their clients' businesses in detail and provide the strategic analysis necessary to deliver added value.

Their research and deal development teams are very capable, and need to be as they do not cover their costs unless good deals are completed.

“I would just like to thank the staff of Benchmark for providing a brilliant service throughout, from start to finish the project was handled exactly how we expected. I would highly recommend anyone to use them!”

The consultants at Benchmark I have found to be both highly capable and professional.

I was looking to sell my archive business, so I took the time to review and then interview various commercial agents regarding the process, asking also about their experience and the value of the business which they could obtain on my behalf.
We decided to go with Benchmark, and found there experience in both confidentiality and professionalism at a very high standard throughout the instruction ...... from finding a buyer and the process to an eventual sale.
I have other businesses which I will look to exit in the next few years, an my first call will be to the guys from Benchmark, we cannot recommend them high enough.

I just wanted to thank Benchmark's transaction team for the extraordinary effort and support throughout our sale. The process with Benchmark was excellent. Having tried to sell before with another company we are delighted to have found Benchmark. They understood our business and cared about getting the best deal for us. Without them, I don't think a sale would have happened.

Avoid, These people have been spamming me for months now, sending mail to someone with a different name and a different business name than mine.

If this is the level of due diligence that is applied in their spam based marketing (it isn't hard to check an email against a website against companies house records) then why would anyone think that they would be capable of professionally marketing the sale of a business?

For any business owners out there thinking of selling their business -
whatever you do don't appoint any one of the several businesses that use spam or direct mail to encourage you to sell though them. Speak to local mid-tier accountants, get personal recommendations and make sure that you speak to the owners that they have worked with that have successfully sold their businesses and those that have not succeeded yet. Good Luck
