Buying tip

Prioritise lease terms, rent review history, and how much of the asking price is goodwill versus assets. For hospitality, check recent BAS or POS extracts and local competition nearby. For services and trades, focus on recurring clients and how transferable the owner's relationships are. Register a free buyer account so you can enquire and save searches across this region.

Browse the national catalogue or sell your business.
