Market Snapshot
Browse businesses for sale in Perth
Looking for a business for sale in WA? Western Australia runs from Perth's CBD, coastal strips and suburban corridors out to towns built around mining, agriculture and tourism. Perth is the deepest pool, with cafes, retail, trades and professional services changing hands through the year. Bunbury and the South West add hospitality and tourism businesses along the coast. Mandurah and Peel sit between the metro area and that coast, with food, trades and local services. Kalgoorlie and the Goldfields are shaped by mining supply, accommodation and the trades that keep remote sites running. A Perth strip cafe and a regional services business can carry very different leases and asking prices, so compare live listings by industry and price instead of one statewide figure. Create a free buyer account and turn on alerts when a Western Australia price band or industry matches what you want to buy.

Buying tip
Check the lease, rent reviews, and how much of the asking price is goodwill versus plant. For hospitality, ask for recent BAS or POS figures and look at nearby competition. For trades and mining-supply businesses, focus on recurring clients and whether the work continues without the current owner. Register a free buyer account so you can enquire and save searches across Western Australia.

What is the median asking price for a business in WA?

What support is available for buyers in WA?
The Small Business Development Corporation (SBDC) publishes guidance for people buying a small business in Western Australia, including due diligence and planning. Programs change, so check current SBDC advice before you rely on a workshop or a grant. This page does not quote grant amounts.
