Benchmark Holdings’ roots are in starting and operating businesses with partners. In the 1980’s Benchmark formed partnerships to acquire and develop cable television systems, growing from a raw start up to becoming one of the 100 largest cable television owners in the United States, with holdings in Virginia, Maryland, Florida and California.
In the 1990’s, after selling its cable television interests, Benchmark Holdings started a new venture which acquired radio broadcasting companies. This venture also began as a raw start up, and grew to include over 50 radio stations throughout the southeastern United States before being sold in late 1997 to one of the largest radio companies. At that time, Benchmark Holdings was the largest holder of country music radio stations in the United States.
Since the sale of its cable television and broadcasting companies, Benchmark has been instrumental in the creation, financing, 
growth and operation of new ventures with other operating partners. In 1998, Benchmark was a founder and partner of e.magination network, a leading regional web marketing company, which was sold in 2001.
In 2002, Benchmark Holdings founded PinnacleCare International, the leading health navigation company, which provides access for its clients to the finest healthcare in the world and all the support needed to navigate the complex world of healthcare. PinnacleCare navigates the healthcare system in all respects for its clients, providing them access to the best specialists, hospitals, research and tools needed to navigate the healthcare system, managing the flow of information, coordinating specialists and even managing insurance and medical bills. PinnacleCare was sold in 2021 to a large international life insurance company.
