Businesses for sale: say what exactly you’re looking for

Businesses for sale in Australia

Updated 4 November 2026

Businesses for sale in Australia are listed from about A$225,000 to A$765,000 in the listings found online, and the price depends on the industry, the location and the turnover. The quickest way to get current offers for your type of business is to send a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Licences and transfer rules

Business licence costs in Australia vary from A$0 to A$10,000 or more, depending on the state, the business activity and the premises. Registrations are often needed first, such as an Australian business number (ABN), a tax file number and PAYG withholding. In Western Australia a sale also involves retail lease consent, liquor licence transfers, GST and stamp duty. Check these items with the seller before you agree on a price.

Season and trading history

Summer runs from December to February and winter from June to August. Ask for trading figures that cover a full year, including a summer and a winter period, because seasons in the Southern Hemisphere mean the busiest months of a seasonal business may fall at a different time from the one you know. Compare that history with the turnover shown in the listing before you judge the asking price.

How prices are quoted

Listings show a price in Australian dollars next to annual turnover and net profit. One listing, for example, shows a price of A$280,000 with turnover of A$250,000 to A$500,000 and net profit of A$100,000 to A$250,000. Check whether the price includes stock, equipment and the lease, and ask whether GST applies to the sale.

What to put in your request

Say which kind of business you want, such as a shop, cafe, franchise, online shop or social media account, and the city or state you prefer. Add your budget and the turnover and net profit you need. Mention whether you want the premises, the lease and the equipment included, whether you will need a licence transfer, and when you want to complete.
