FY 2025 is an interesting year. 

The old challenge of slow and difficult  bank finance remains, 

with about half of our sales effected through non bank means.

We are still making sales, with the most sought after being those businesses with:

Strong net profits & balance sheet.

Good management or training  systems, or easy to understand.

In many cases, particularly in smaller towns, an accommodation component is a great help.

So what documentation is needed to sell your business?

  • Up to date financial statements, including copies of recent Business Activity Statements (BAS);
  • A list of equipment to pass with the business, and whether it is encumbered ( i.e. leased/ chattel mortgaged etc);
  • A copy of your current lease, or alternatively a proposed rental or sale price for your property;
  • If your business is located in Victoria, and its plant & good will figure is less than $450,000, you will also need – at the time of deposit or contract – a vendor’s statement (Sn 52)  about the performance of the business. NB This does not apply to licensed premises.
