BPA Business Brokers has much experience selling Strata Management businesses across Melbourne and Victoria. Specifically, we specialise in assisting clients in selling their Body Corporate & Strata Management businesses.

What a Strata Business Is Worth

When determining the value of a business in the Strata industry, we consider several factors, including the company’s earnings.

However, buyers also want to know other things such as how reliable are the management fees. That’s because strong contracts maintain the revenue for both the year and ongoing terms.

We review their contracts, fees, and wages. We also evaluate the office rating and property arrangements. If the sale includes the freehold, we’ll consider that alongside the operating business.

What Buyers and Lenders Scrutinise

For both buyers and sellers, the entire process requires plenty of focus and dedication. Here is what the former should convey to the latter during the transaction.

Approved contracts and fees

Most buyers check approved contracts, lots and fees. This includes changes through the year and length of term. A longer term will attract buyer interest. But they will also want to be secure in the knowledge that the contracts are being properly serviced.

Staffing and ratios

For potential new owners, the team they inherit is very important. They will need to identify who will remain after the change in ownership, and whether they can meet staffing requirements.

Lease or freehold

A buyer should examine the remaining lease term, renewal options and rent. If the property is available for sale, they will need to assess its value separately from the Strata business.

Selling Your Strata Without Unsettling Clients

News of a potential sale can raise questions for the body corporate. Especially before the details are settled. BPA can advertise a Strata business without naming it or showing easily recognisable photographs. We can also arrange for potential buyers to sign a confidentiality agreement before receiving sensitive contract and financial information. Here’s more about the professionalism of our selling process.

A strata business can be profitable. But like any venture, it depends on how you run it. For our customers, profit margins depend heavily on fees charged, strong management, and low operating costs, particularly wages.
