Before purchasing a hospitality business in Australia, you need to ensure that it’s the right move for you. This means consulting your budget, deciding what you want from the business, and seeking any legal and tax advice when needed. You can use this initial step to narrow your search and find the right hospitality business for you.
Once you’ve decided on the business, it’s time to make sure it’s right for you. Look at its financial history, any debt, the condition of equipment, and whether any policies or structures need updating. We have a handy Our buying guide covers the other preparations worth making.
This page lists the restaurants, cafes, bars, pubs, takeaways and function venues Benchmark currently has for sale across Australia. Some owners prefer to sell without advertising, so our brokers also handle private sales. Register as a buyer and we will contact you when a venue that matches your brief comes up.
Our hospitality listings include restaurants, cafes and coffee shops, bars and small bars, pubs and taverns, takeaway and quick-service outlets, catering businesses, function venues and hospitality franchises, from owner-operated venues to fully managed sites.
Most hospitality businesses are priced on adjusted profit, plus stock at value. Wages, food and beverage margins, rent as a share of turnover, the remaining lease term and any liquor licence all move the price. Check stamp duty in your state too, as Queensland and Western Australia still charge it on goodwill.
Compare POS reports with BAS and bank statements, check wage costs against the award, and look at food and beverage cost percentages. Review the lease, outgoings and make-good obligations, confirm which equipment is owned or leased, and check the council food registration and any liquor licence conditions.
A liquor licence is issued by the state or territory regulator, and the new owner usually needs approval to transfer it before settlement, which can include probity checks and nominating an approved manager. Allow time for this in the contract, make the sale conditional on the transfer, and check the licence conditions, trading hours and any compliance history before you commit.
