Benchmark International had the winning combination of people that made our whole process go very smooth. All the people that helped us from the very beginning stages to the business evaluation the markers and the final and deal associates all knew their job very well. We were fortunate to have some offers right after we went out to the market so we are able to make a decision and close on our small family owned business. We were previously on the market with another equity firm for a couple of years with basically no results benchmark really knows what they’re doing and I highly recommend them.

“This is a monumental step for our firm. I am deeply grateful to Benchmark International for their invaluable counsel throughout this process; Their partnership was instrumental in navigating this successful transition. As we move into this next chapter with Stonewall Studios, I am energized to step away from the administrative demands of ownership and back to the drafting table as a Principal Architect, dedicated to the projects and community we serve.”

"My experience with Benchmark International was exceptionally positive through all stages of the M&A lifecycle. Their team is professional, knowledgeable, and collaborative – and they provided me with invaluable guidance through every step of the process, from CIM development to the final transaction. I would highly recommend them to any business owner considering a partial or full exit." - Founder and CEO Rob Hustick of Boost Strategy Partners, LLC

Michele and I would like to thank you for the great job your entire team did helping us sell our company. We selected Benchmark (International) because of the professionalism shown by all of your representatives as well as the breadth and scope of your company. Your team answered all of our concerns and made us feel comfortable enough to initiate the selling process. You reaffirmed to me that it would be my decision on who we sell to and there was no time limit on finding the right buyer. I was skeptical, but after going through the process, I now know it's 100% true. You didn’t pressure us to make decisions and focused your efforts on guiding us through the valuation and sales process at our pace. Nowhere along the way did we feel that you were pressuring us for time or a quick decision. If it was a flip of a coin and it didn’t come up on Benchmark, then we kept flipping the coin.

Benchmark put everything on the table about the history of the business, about how things were going with the business, and I also appreciate Chuck and Michele for being very honest. And Benchmark for asking the right questions to get those kind of details on the IM (Information Memorandum) which you generally don't see. That was what made everything smooth and easy; there were hardly any challenges in terms of acquiring the business.
