Exposure is the currency of a successful business sale. For over 45 years, Coast to Coast Business Sales has been the trusted engine driving visibility for Australian business owners, connecting sellers with serious buyers through a proven, multi-channel advertising platform.
When you make the decision to sell your business, you are faced with a critical challenge: How do you find the right buyer?
A business can have excellent financials, a loyal customer base, and a prime location, but if the right investor doesn’t know it exists, it cannot sell. At Coast to Coast Business Sales, we specialize in solving this problem. We are not just a passive listing service; we are a specialist advertising provider focused entirely on marketing your business, franchise, or income-producing property to the widest possible audience.
Established in 1978, we hold the distinction of being Australia’s longest-running magazine dedicated to business sales. This heritage is combined with cutting-edge digital marketing strategies to offer a platform that is unique in the Australian landscape. We blend the credibility of traditional print media with the speed and reach of online advertising, ensuring your business is seen by qualified buyers—whether they are scrolling on a screen or turning the pages of our national magazine.
If you are looking for a partner who understands how to generate genuine interest and leads, welcome to Coast to Coast Business Sales.
Over 45 Years of Australian Heritage
In an industry that sees fly-by-night websites come and go, Coast to Coast Business Sales stands on a foundation of stability and trust.
Founded in Balmain, New South Wales, we have remained a proudly Australian-owned business since day one. For over four decades, we have navigated the changing landscape of media and business, evolving from a print-only publication to a comprehensive multimedia advertising powerhouse.
This longevity matters. It means we have spent 45 years building one of the country’s most recognized brands in business sales advertising. It means we have developed a deep, loyal subscriber base that trusts our publication as a source of legitimate investment opportunities.
When you advertise with us, you are leveraging a reputation that has been built since 1978. We have helped thousands of sellers find buyers for small to mid-sized businesses, franchises, leasehold and freehold opportunities, and investment properties. Our history is your advantage.
The "Coast to Coast" Difference: A Multi-Channel Approach
Many advertising options available to business owners today are one-dimensional. They might offer a listing on a crowded website, but nothing more.
Coast to Coast Business Sales offers a comprehensive marketing ecosystem. We believe that to find the "needle in the haystack" buyer, you need to cast a net across multiple channels.
The Power of Print In a digital world, print stands out. We publish Australia’s longest-running national business-for-sale magazine. With each quarterly edition, over 100 listings are showcased to a dedicated audience of subscribers who actively pay attention to the market. This includes investors who prefer the tactile engagement of a magazine and "lifestyle" buyers browsing for their next venture.
The Reach of Digital We complement our print heritage with modern digital power. Our full-service advertising packages ensure your business is promoted online, tapping into the vast traffic of major business sale websites.
This blend of traditional and modern media ensures that you are not relying on a single source of traffic. You are visible everywhere that matters.
Specialists in Regional and Lifestyle Business
While we operate nationally, Coast to Coast Business Sales has carved out a unique and powerful niche in the Australian market. We have a strong focus on supporting businesses in regional, coastal, and country towns.
Selling a business in a metropolitan CBD is one thing; selling a business in a regional community requires a different approach. It requires connecting with buyers who are looking for a "sea change" or a "tree change"—buyers who are purchasing a lifestyle as much as they are purchasing an income stream.
We are the ideal platform for business owners selling in non-metro areas. Our brand resonates with buyers looking for:
-
Coastal Destinations: Cafes, retail, and tourism businesses along Australia's stunning coastline.
-
Rural and Agricultural Areas: Farming, agribusiness, and rural services.
-
Country Towns: Essential services, post offices, and local hospitality venues.
If your business is the heartbeat of a regional community, we have the audience that is looking for you.

Coast to Coast Business Sales is designed to be flexible. We provide professional advertising solutions for a wide spectrum of clients, ensuring that everyone from a solo operator to a professional broker has access to national reach.
For Private Sellers Selling your business yourself (Private Sale) can be daunting. We provide the tools and support you need to present your business professionally. We help you market your asset with clarity, ensuring you attract qualified prospects rather than time-wasters.
