Businesses for sale in Singapore: what they cost

Updated 31 October 2026

A business for sale in Singapore is listed from under S$100,000 for a café or online store to about S$1.7 million for a takeover with large monthly sales. For the current asking prices in your category, send a request on BlaBlaPrice and the AI will look through local listings for you.

Licences and fees to check first

Most Singapore businesses need no licence beyond registration with ACRA, but requirements depend on the activity and the agency. A food shop licence costs S$195 for one year, and a basic company incorporation starts at least S$315, including a S$15 business name fee. Ask the seller which licences are in the business's name and which of them transfer to you.

Why the season does not move prices

Singapore has no winter or summer. Its climate is tropical, hot all year, with wet and dry seasons, so no time of year pushes asking prices up or down. What matters more is the recent trading record, so ask for the latest monthly sales before you visit.

Premises, rent and how prices are quoted

Listed prices are in S$ and many are marked negotiable, so treat the figure as a starting point. Some listings also quote monthly rent: one listing in the results asks S$8,800 a month for about 144 m² (1,550 sq ft). Check whether the price includes stock, equipment and the lease, and whether it is cash-free and debt-free. Tell the seller which area you can reach, for example Tampines, Jurong West, Woodlands or Ang Mo Kio.

What to put in your request

Say which type of business you want, such as a café, a shop, a franchise or an online store, and your budget in S$. Add whether you will run it yourself or keep the current staff, and which area you can reach. Ask for the recent sales and profit figures, and say whether you need the lease transferred.
