In The Buyer's Words

By working with Benchmark International, we were able to identify and perform preliminary evaluations of several companies quickly and accurately within our targeted geographic area. Their significant knowledge of the acquisition process, the sophistication of their systems (e.g., online data exchange), and their willingness to communicate deal structures based on their past experiences were all valuable to the success of our acquisition.

Denis St. Peter
CES

The professionalism of Benchmark International provided vital assistance from the onset of the business transaction to the final steps involved in the closing. We found that during this arduous process, which could have easily been marred with ambiguity and uncertainty, the Benchmark Team eradicated unnecessary tensions punctuated by assuring all parties remained focused on the end goal objectives. Undoubtedly, the Benchmark professional team provided trust, integrity and mutually beneficial solutions. Peace of mind comes from having an alliance partner who is ethical, highly responsive, and proactively engaging as Benchmark International.

Maurice Hamilton
Dalco Contingency

We were delighted to invest in Protean Software and in a process managed by Benchmark International which was smooth, transparent and efficient.

James Livingston
Foresight Group

The complete process was handled with professionalism and was well coordinated. Benchmark International facilitated discussion between client and buyer throughout enabling the transaction to be completed in an efficient manner. We look forward to our future with G.B. Access and would like to thank Benchmark International for its services.

Phil Wolff
Ashtead Plant Hire Company Ltd

Benchmark International presented themselves as, more or less, an unbiased partner to us. We had a feeling that they were very honest in giving us information and this was very helpful. For instance, during the process, Benchmark helped us to understand the British accountancy standards and the business processes which we were not so acquainted with before.

Bertram Häussler
IGES Institut

Working with Benchmark International has been very productive and efficient. Throughout the process they were constantly engaged, followed up on all the issues, and provided a professional and courteous atmosphere that enabled the deal to complete in a timely manner.

Ousama Shamma
3rd Millennium

We believe identifying the right opportunity with the right fit is critical for success in the M&A space. In working with Benchmark International on our most recent acquisition, we realized they share that same vision. Not only was the Benchmark International team helpful throughout the process, but their approach to this engagement was comprehensive, thoughtful and focuses while placing significant emphasis on the success of the combined firms. We look forward to working with them on future opportunities.

Market Mindset: Why Buyers Stay Active in Shifting Economies

Buyers Remain Interested in M&A Deals in All Economic Conditions

How M&A Strategies Can Set You Up For a Better Retirement

In today’s dynamic financial landscape, many business owners are seeking innovative ways to secure a comfortable retirement. One sometimes-overlooked strategy is mergers and acquisitions (M&A), which can be used by business leaders, savvy investors, and entrepreneurs to build wealth over time. When strategically executed, M&A tactics can help you to facilitate portfolio growth, generate passive income, and ultimately contribute to a more secure and prosperous retirement.

Why Multi-Party Sale Processes Are an Opportunity for Buyers

To many acquirers, the words “competitive process” still carry an undertone of friction. They suggest distraction, inflated expectations, unnecessary pressure, and the risk of being used as a price tension rather than a serious counterparty. Yet this interpretation often misses the deeper reality. For most business owners, particularly founders and long-tenured operators, a multi-party sale process is not an act of aggression; it is an act of responsibility – to themselves, to the business, and to the buyer.

Retirement Planning: Insights and Strategies for Business Owners in 2024

2024 is on pace to be a record-breaking year for retirement in the U.S. This year, an average of 11,000 Americans per day are expected to celebrate their 65th birthday. Now through 2027, we will see the most significant surge of retirement-age Americans than ever before. Yet, at the same time, data from the Pew Research Center shows that one in five people over the age of 65 are choosing to continue working, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics is projecting that Americans over the age of 65 will continue to rise in labor force participation over the next ten years. This trend is being mirrored around the world. According to the National Bureau of Economic Research, over the past 25 years, labor force participation at older ages has increased significantly.

Shaping the Best Research Outcomes: Your Contribution is Vital

At Benchmark International, your deal team will explore various avenues when sourcing a buyer for your company, from undertaking their own desktop research through to utilising a variety of M&A subscription platforms and connections your deal team has accumulated over the years.
