Benchmark International Avaliações 

The Leading Edge Group has worked closely with Benchmark International for over 12 months to source a suitable investor for the purchase of our Canadian branch.
At the outset, I was full of trepidation about the process. However, what initially felt daunting quickly became an enjoyable, educational and profitable experience. Alex proved to be an exceptional mentor, expertly facilitating the many meetings with potential investors and guiding us through each stage with confidence and clarity.
I have nothing but respect for Benchmark International — not only for their dedication and perseverance in achieving the right outcome, but also for their deep expertise throughout the entire process. The pre-close arrangements, in particular, required careful navigation of numerous legal, data, and financial regulations. Having a partner like Alex, with the requisite experience and steady guidance, was absolutely imperative.
I would not hesitate to recommend Benchmark International to any business considering a similar journey.

The sale of our company was a very protracted affair, in fact covering a couple of years.
During some very difficult times, everyone concerned at Benchmark kept us informed and offered patient advice at all times. We always felt that we were in good hands.

We engaged with Benchmark several years ago and have always found them sincere, trustworthy and reliable but most importantly professional. I’d recommend their services and look forward to working with the team in future.

Der Verkaufsprozess meines Unternehmens zog sich über 2,5 Jahre und war mit vielen Höhen und Tiefen verbunden. dabei stand das Team von Benchmark International während der gesamten Zeit mit Rat und Tat zur Seite. Sie haben auf jede Situation offen, und mit Weitsicht reagiert Zudem hat mich beeindruckt welche enorme Reichweite erzielt wurde, um den richtigen Käufer zu finden. Die Beratung sowie der gesamte Prozess war durchweg fachlich fundiert, zielorientiert und in höchstem Maße professionell. Das Team war zu jeder Zeit für mich ansprechbar und verfolgt eine offene und transparente Kommunikation, sodass ich mich zuz jedem Zeitpunkt gut informiert gefühlt habe. Anhand meiner Erfahrungen kann ich Benchmark International uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen.

I cannot speak highly enough of Benchmark International and the team who marketed and successfully sold my company. From start to finish, I was supported by an exceptional group of professionals — Roger, James, and Joshua — whose experience, knowledge, and patience were truly invaluable.

Selling your life’s work is never easy. It is an emotional and often uncertain process, made even more challenging when you are not always 100% sure you are ready. In my case, after seven years of working with James and the wider team, I finally reached the point where I knew the timing was right for both me and my family.

What could have been an overwhelming and daunting journey was made far more achievable thanks to the outstanding support, guidance, and reassurance provided by Benchmark. Their commitment and professionalism played a critical role in getting the deal over the line — and without them, it is entirely possible that it would not have happened.

A great team and a huge thank you to Roger, James, and Joshua. I would have no hesitation in recommending Benchmark International, and in particular this team, to anyone considering the sale of their business.

Can I take this opportunity to thank everyone at Benchmark involved in the sale. I know we all thought you did a great job, very professional and also very patient, which was needed in abundance on this sale!! From day one I got the feeling we had chosen the right company.

Throughout the whole process of the sale of my Company Jack and Dean at Benchmark were professional and diligent. I had total confidence in them and the way they were working for my better interest. I would 100% reconmend the Benchmark process of marketing and selling a Company and also Jack and Dean to be the ones to represent you!

Alex Cregan at Benchmark played a key role in successfully guiding me through my business sale. His support, particularly during due diligence, was invaluable. Without hesitation I can recommend Alex Cregan for anyone considering selling their business.

Innerhalb nur eines Jahres wurde der gesamte Verkaufsprozess mit der engagierten Unterstützung von Benchmark erfolgreich abgeschlossen und durch das Team mit höchster Professionalität, Verlässlichkeit, Kompetenz und außergewöhnlichem Einsatz begleitet. Unsere Ansprechpartner waren stets erreichbar und konnten auch komplexe Fragestellungen mit äußerster Sorgfalt lösen. Schlussendlich hat das dazu geführt, dass der perfekte Käufer gefunden und die Transaktion erfolgreich abgewickelt werden konnte.

I felt like the call I had with EL of Benchmark was more to collect information about my company (revenue, employees, profitability) than it was to understand what we do, our solutions, differentiation, etc. Instead of a video conference, it started as a phone call from a mobile phone, with little info from Benchmark. Then I had a 60 second paus for a transfer to another phone call with JB of Benchmark, someone who seemed to be reading questions for me to answer from a script. I gave vague answers as I didn't want to share any relevant info with them.

Selling a business can be a long and complicated process. The Benchmark team provided an excellent service from marketing, finding potential buyers and guiding us through the due diligence process.
I would highly recommend them to anyone considering a business sale.

I had an excellent experience working with Benchmark International. From the very first call, they demonstrated deep knowledge of the M&A process and provided clear, honest guidance throughout. They handled the valuation, marketing and negotiations with professionalism and discretion, ultimately securing a great deal for the sale of my company, Structural Science Composites Ltd. Communication was frequent and transparent, and I always felt supported. I'd highly recommend them to any business owner considering a sale.

Starting a sale process is a significant task, especially while managing a business at the same time. The team of Ryan Scammell, Oliver Morley and Bill Wagstaff provided outstanding support the whole time, running a competitive process, explaining complex topics in a clear and accessible way, and leveraging their negotiation experience to secure an excellent outcome.

I would highly recommend them to any other sellers considering a sale process.

Benchmark hat den Verkaufsprozess gut strukturiert und begleitet. Die unterschiedlichen Interessen wurden gut koordiniert und Anwälte und Steuerberater einbezogen. Auch persönlich war die Zusammenarbeit immer angenehm. So konnte insgesamt für alle Seiten ein zufriedenstellendes Ergebnis erzielt werden.

Benchmark International were extremely helpful to me through the process of selling my business from first sitting down with them to final signing. The BI team were always available to answer questions and I always felt like they kept the process moving forward for my benefit.

Please don't send me offers for buyouts, ask me for
my information in detail, and then not tell me the name of the company I am willing to look at. Bad form.

Jack Giles and Dean Rogers carried out a fantastic job from start to finish. Their professionalism and patience were outstanding and they delivered a great and fair outcome for both parties. In fact, I miss my panicked calls and Jack’s calm voice of reason that made all the difference! Benchmark International is a great company providing a much-needed service and I would have no hesitation to others looking to sell a business.

A Business colleague who had been through a Sale said to me at the start of my own process; “you need an expert to guide you through the pitfalls”. I chose Benchmark for this purpose and was not disappointed! Ananya Sharma and Alex Foreshaw gave excellent support throughout. In addition to helping me to maximise value, there were many issues and options to consider through the process and Benchark guided me through them with clear expectations in writing and most importantly via conversations and discussions.

The Solicitor assigned created some problems along the way and Alex even got involved in resolving those issues.

The Benchmark team remained engaged beyond completion until all transactions were completed to my satisfaction.

Definitely recommended
