Buying a small business can be a great way to become a business owner. Especially if you plan to work in it yourself in the Melbourne region. However, before comparing prices, consider how many hours you can put in and the income you need. A business with growth potential that pays its owner for working full-time is very different from one that also pays a manager to run it.
It is worth checking how much a business depends on its current owner. Then review the lease, staffing, and any money you may need to invest after purchase. The right opportunity should suit your budget, long-term goals, and interest in the industry.
When weighing up whether to purchase a business, check the remaining term, renewal options, rent, and outgoings. You should also ask whether the landlord must approve a lease assignment. Spend some time considering location, too, because a well-established shop with high foot traffic will obviously be more attractive to acquire.
Compare the roster and wages with the work needed to run the business. If the owner works long hours without drawing a wage, that is not necessarily a red flag. But you’ll need to factor it into your profitability assessment.
Some commercial businesses need food registration, liquor licences, permits or franchise approval. Find out which apply and whether they can transfer to you.

In a standard BPA sale, the seller pays the commission. However, you should budget separately for your own accountant, solicitor and any other advice you need.
You can buy a business in Melbourne or wider Australia on a visa across various industry types. We recommend finding one with strong growth potential and seeking professional advice from a registered migration agent before committing to a purchase.
This really depends on the deal. Some of our customers include equipment, fit-out, and goodwill, while stock may be priced separately at settlement. Ultimately, as a seller, you can include whatever you want, while as a buyer, most things are negotiable. So, if there are certain features you want, ask for them.
