We don’t just sell businesses – We sell success
Since the advent of Covid 19 in March 2020, the market for business sales in Queensland has been strong yet sometimes mixed, with supply and demand reversals influencing market conditions. Initially we experienced a period when everything went very quiet. Naturally market participants were fearful of the unknown and what the future of Business and COVID 19 may hold.
There is little doubt that no matter what category a business fits into, they are generally demanded by a range of buyers who require solid earnings and want to move to the Sunshine Coast region for lifestyle reasons.
For many months now we have talked about Food and Hospitality being the most popular segment with buyers on the Sunshine Coast and Brisbane’s North Side. This is due to the very diverse nature of the Food and Hospitality Industry and its distribution across numerous categories and price points in the market.
Food and Hospitality businesses are still in hot demand and continue to be the most sought after business for those moving to the Sunshine Coast, due to their ease of entry and perceived lifestyle benefits. Over 42% of sales were recorded from this sector, 12 months ending April 2018. Several sales were recorded between $200k – $300k, but as usual, the strongest ‘bands of interest’ were below $200k mark..
Food and Hospitality businesses have again been in strong demand, with over 39% of sales recorded from this sector (12 months ending December 2017) and the strongest ‘bands of interest’ being in businesses below $200,000 mark.
What’s Our Secret?
Business sales still remain consistent across most sectors this quarter. Food and Hospitality has again been in strong demand, with over 37.5% of sales coming from that sector since 12 months ending September 2016; the strongest ‘bands of interest’ being in businesses below $300,000 mark.
The market for businesses still remained strong across most sectors this quarter and into the next. Food and Hospitality has again been in strong demand, with over 33% of sales coming from that sector since July 2016, and the strongest ‘bands of interest’ being in businesses below the $300k mark.
