Tips for Buying a Retail Business Safely in Australia

Always request at least two years of verified trading figures — BAS statements, profit and loss reports, and EFTPOS records — before making any offer on a second-hand retail business. Understand exactly what's included in the sale: stock on hand, fixtures, equipment, supplier agreements, and any existing staff entitlements all carry real value and should be clearly itemised.

Check the lease length and rent-to-revenue ratio carefully — these two factors alone can make or break a retail purchase. Engage a solicitor experienced in business transfers before signing anything, and visit the premises at different times of the week to assess genuine customer traffic for yourself.
